Hello again. It's great to read your resolutions - I'm putting myself out there this year and I'm blogging my resolutions... wish me luck! - http://2009-ayearofresolutions.blogspot.com
My 2 Kris Kringle recipients were delighted to receive 'Keep Calm and Carry On' shoppers which I bought at The Lost Sock Office in Wang - I've also got some cards and felt brooches there now.
Good luck with the resolutions.
Cheers, Lucy Bowler
Wow, thats quite a list you have there! Rachaelxo
Hi lovely Allison,
happy Christmas and New Year!!! You are too sweet to think of me! I don't have that copy of Milk, ( i've never even heard of it), but I feel bad you sending it to me, It's your ... perhaps there is somewhere I could buy it? I would love to see it.

Count me in for #25. xx
I have a vintage Fisher Price Schoolhouse looking for a new home if you happen to be interested...
I have a list, each year I transfer over what's left to the new list. That way I don't feel guilty :-)
Happy New Year!
That's a good list, and brave of you to publish it. I have some of the same goals - I hope it's a good year for you and Lark!
GOOD Grief! I need to sit down and pour another drink! What an exhaustive (or is that exhausting) list. Anyone would think you were a person who could set up and run a successful international business whilst raising young chidren.... Go girl!! I have every confidence you'll have it licked by Autumn... except for the crying in February... nothing wrong with that at all! t.xxx
Oh, snap on no.20. Pass me the tissues already!
Best wishes for a year filled with joy, and a vintage treasure or two.

That's such a great list. I have a few of those on my list too, which I am still brewing in my head at this point.
Good luck. My blog is http://www.y-fighter.blogspot.com
