I resolve that I will never, ever, ever...
- Take up archery as a sport - nearly de-nippled myself the first time
- Drink an entire flagon of port - twenty years later and I still cannot smell the stuff without feeling deeply sick
- Bite off my fingernails and give them to the nearest friend as a present - yes, they all love me and my little ways
- Inform a senior editor at Mills&Boon that 'she wouldn't be interested in my book' - grooooan, excuse me whilst I just go bang my head on a solid object for a few minutes
- Bang head on solid objects - thought of that one just now
- Use hair-dye clearly marked NOT for natural blondes - it was hot pink for months - the original plan being that it would go auburn and I'd look exactly like Jane Seymour (What? I was 17)
- Flash my boobs at my husband in remote places of stunning natural beauty without first checking for bus loads of Japanese tourists with cameras
- Take no notice of my child when she says, "I'm going to bomit." In our house v is pronounced b.
- Do a home bikini wax - giving birth was more dignified, hurt less, and required less flexibility
- Ignore my intuition
