I've had two since turning 25, I'm no expert but I know what to expect. The years ... Read more

How are you doing with your New Years Resolutions? Are you sticking to them or have some of them already falling through? According to www.shepherdsfriendly.co.uk who have put together a really interesting infographic based on their own research, about keeping on track with your resolutions. One thing that really struck me was how so many resolutions fail or are given up on by February.
