I also prefer to support local business wherever I can from an economic and environmental point of view too - we need jobs here and we have better industrial relations laws so it all helps.<BR/><BR/>Like you I'm not much into making resolutions for the year and have never been much good on the goals either apart from in a vague way. I sort of like some of the ideas around about having a theme for the new year - you know, like "live bravely" or some such thing. Guiding principles rather than strict goals that I'm sure to disappoint myself on. I do need to do more exercise though.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can see that dream of buying some land and building get closer this year.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467803584504473036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-57205772372028773942009-01-07T11:02:00.000+11:002009-01-07T11:02:00.000+11:00Hi Nicole, good luck with your goals, especially t...Hi Nicole, good luck with your goals, especially the house/land buying. Now might be a good time too for first time buyers. I'm back on the Weight Watchers too, amazing how quick it goes on and how hard it is to get it off!greenfumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157970942128503098noreply@blogger.com
