Well, we’re now half way through January. How are you getting on with your New Year resolutions? Still managing to stick to them? Given up already? I haven’t made resolutions this year, but I have set myself a few things to focus on. Now it’s all very well to say you’re focussing on something, but the challenge is to translate that focus into real actions.

Oh, what a week it’s been. I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work as I’m out of the office on a training course for the whole of next week, and have a number of balls I am trying to juggle that I need to somehow keep in the air whilst I’m away. On top of all that I’ve had a cold. Not a really bad one, but enough to make me feel rotten and tired. This means that I’ve been having a few early nights, and as a result I’ve not blogged as much as I usually would.
