  1. So my word for 2011 is 'perserverance' (I am a serial quitter!) and I have broken down my resolutions into 3 month chunks to make them more manageable:

    Jan - Mar: A healthier lifestyle
    Apr - Jun: Quality family time
    Jul - Sep: Finish it off
    Oct - Dec: Get it scrapped.

  2. Happy New Year to you. My resolution is to lose that last stone (more like two after Christmas) and to complete a project before starting a new one!

  4. Good luck with your application - loved that show. My goal for 2011 is to get more organised - I am invariably late for most things, cannot remember where I put something and am a great one for starting projects and not finishing them (hangs head in shame that I dind't keep up with your receipe challenge!)

  5. Oh, good luck - you are soooooo brave!
    Haven't quite decided on my resolutions yet - it's something my husband and I sit down and discuss on Hogmanay. But overall I just want to be generally more organised. I want to get into proper housework routines and have everything in its place!

  6. Oh my the bake off, it will be awsome to see you on there!

    My resolution is to try a new recipe each week cooking from scratch and not using jars or packets!

    looking forward to the cupcakes...

  7. I am not kidding, when I watched the first series of The Great British Bake Off I thought of you and your blog. I hope you get through, you would be fantastic. My resolution is to stop hating my post baby weight and stop living in the past. I also resolve to create something everyday even if its something small and only takes a few minutes to create.

  10. Wow good luck with your application. My resolution is to stop biting my nails. I try every year, but this year I am going to do it xx

  11. Good luck with your application! You surely deserve it.
    My resolution (not starting on Jan 1st but right now) enjoy every single day. Period.
    In my school where I work, a kid fell on the head while ice skating and has been in a coma ever since. This just reminds me how precious my family is and that NOTHING is more important.

  12. Good luck with the application I love the programme. I haven't quite got the nerve to enter myself.

    As for new year resolutions I have quite a few lol. My last 'baby' starts school in January so I am making 2011 my year. I am going to loose weight, pass my driving test, hopefully expand my business and then loads of little things like learn to use my camera properly, do something for myself each day, try a new recipe each week.

    Have a wonderful new year and I am looking forward to the cinema cupcakes xx

  13. The best of luck for the show, Deb. I loved the first one. Mum recorder it for me as I was at cake dec classes when it was on. My resolution has to be to lose some weight but...with all the baking I've been doing - I doubt it. Maybe I should try to resolve to stick to my resolutions instead, lol. xx

  14. My goal for 2011 is to lead a more balanced life. To find the time for work but not to let me or those I love and care about suffer because of it.

    It's going to be tough to find that balance but with some organisation I can do it!

    And good luck for Great British Bake Off! They'd be bonkers not to pick you!

  15. Best of luck with the show, I will keep my fingers crossed for you, it would be amazing to see you on it :).

    My new years resolutions for next year are:
    1. To blog more frequently
    2. To have lots of fun
    3. To try as many new things as possible - mainly craft inspired though

    Why make new years resolutions a drag, we may as well have fun with them hey, life is far to short :)

    Take care and good luck.

  18. Good Luck with getting onto the bake off.

    Two resolutions for next year -

    1. Seize the day - get on and live life to the full. I have just had some bad news about a family member today and it has reminded me that life is way too short to put things off.

    2. Do new things - try other crafts, use new recipes, read some different authors. Just get out of the rut and my comfort zone.
