Happy New Year!!

Well, it's been pretty much a year since I 'started' this blog, however I have rarely updated it, due to being way too busy with RL and other commitments. Anyway, I figured I'd start this year anew, who knows maybe I'll have more time to update here? And, to start off with, what better way than by tackling Berry's New Year Meme with a pretty picture? The outfit is pretty much what I recently blogged on free*style here, but with different hair, eyes, nails and I wanted to show off this cute reindeer plushie by silent sparrow too

1. How did you spend New Year’s Eve? I spent it at a houseparty with a handful of my closest friends :),
2. Did you keep any new years’ resolutions? I am terrible at keeping New Year's resolutions, hence why I tend not to bother making any anymore. However, this year, I've made myself a few small vows, that I'm going to try to keep! Fingers crossed!
3. What was your biggest achievement(s) of the year? I actually can't think of any??? Another reason why I need to grasp this year by the horns and do something!
4. What was the best thing you bought? The best thing I bought, was probably my new-old car! Actually, after the exhaust fell off my old car, I kinda needed to get a new car. And I'm loving it!
5. What do you wish you’d done more of? I wish I had done more fun things with the kids, so I guess I'm gonna try and do more of that this year too!
6. What do you wish you’d done less of? hmmm, this is hard, but I guess I wish I'd spent less time worrying things over and getting stressed over silly little things...
7. What was your favorite movie you watched this year? wow my favourite movie I watched this year..? Thats a hard one, I love watching movies, but it would probably be Star Trek: Into Darkness... I was sooo looking forward to that, and was NOT disappointed :)
8. What did you do on your birthday this year? I just had a night out with some of my friends, we had a great time!
9. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned. This year has been a bad year for me generally in RL. I'm unhappy in my job- it takes me away from my children too much, and I'm unhappy in my RL home- its too small and too messy!! Which leads onto the last... I'm unhappy in my marriage. My friends keep telling me that 'you only live once', so I guess that is it, and the prominent thought in my head for this year. Time to make changes that will make me happy!
10. What does 2014 hold for you? No idea but I am hoping to make some chnges in my life that will make me happy!!
