Last year, my New Year’s Resolutions (which are always either whimsical or practical or both) were to be more consistent with a skin-care regime and to get a few juicy celeb tweets back to me.

Between Clinique & L’Occitane I achieved the first, and now actually make an effort to remove my make-up every night, use night cream and pamper my skin daily, including drinking lots more water - which wasn't easy considering I was on diuretics for half the year! LOL! My skin is much happier and ever-so-much clearer. (Coming off most of the other cardiac drugs probably helped too.) Today I ventured out without make-up and was told I looked 35 by someone who a) wasn’t trying to sell me something and b) wasn’t trying to pick me up (sadly, ‘cause she was gorgeous).

I think I can safely say that I also achieved and perhaps even surpassed the second of my resolutions, the highlight (for my husband at least) being told he was in a worthy career by Mark Ruffalo. (I have another favourite celeb experience, but you’re sick of hearing about him, so I’ll shut up about that.)

This year’s resolutions are: to stay out of my overdraft – or rather, the part of it where I start getting charged interest, and get all the fiddly little health things that got put on hold by my dicky ticker sorted. This means getting my [now] missing tooth replaced, another arthroscopy on my knee (which needs doing every 10 years till I’m old enough to get it replaced) and a couple other minor but irritating things.

So, between that, the overhaul of my job (as well as the entire NHS), plus looking for and buying a new house, I think that’s enough for the year to come.

Thank you again for all your support during an interesting 2012 and a very Happy New Year to everyone on my flist! Xx

I really should start taking better care of my skin...

Water seems to have been the best medicine. And more exercise, if you can believe that! Made a huge difference.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

I still have one week left of being 36 (and I still have to think for a bit when asked my age *lol*)

Yay for Blackadders!! Thank you, sweetie :)

As for your wildly inaccurate implied personal slanders regarding my our misspent youth, all I have to say is this ;)

BAHAHAHHAHAHA! LJ finally let me in long enough to see this link. OMG! What awesome times we've had.

We need to do more of that kind of thing.

I think.
