I hope you all had an amazing day yesterday and have woken with vibrancy today.  New Years Resolutions are normally made and broken and all good intentions vanish.

So instead of Resolutions, how about a bucket list of things you would like to do this year?

1. I would like to visit Barcelona
2. Move towards a new job
3. Move house if possible
4. Start my own sideline business to top up money
5. Every 2 months try something new

What are your top 5 things you would like to do?

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

(Food Critic - Matthew Fort asleep July 2009 Inverness Airport)

On Christmas Eve I found myself in Staples before going to the cinema to watch the Hobbit.  To some people this is strange...  Christmas Eve looking at office supplies?

I will admit, loud and proud that I have a note book problem.  And a nice pen problem.  I don't really ever use them.  But I stash them.  I normally use one on each of my holidays.  Especially when sailing.

I note down all the places visited, how much it cost to get in, marks out of ten etc  Then at the back of the book upside down I list all the food and drink eaten that day and the prices.  I also mark the food out of 10.  Restaurant critic I am not, but I still do it.  Half the time I am not even sure where I put the book after, it whittles the hours away when on a sun lounger and keeps tabs on my spending.

I am secretly hankering after the Martha Stewart range I saw.  I feel compelled and am talking my inner self into the need for the emergency number wipe board.  Why?  I have no idea.  Do you have any stationery secrets?
