If I am ever in need of a good laugh, I like to recall my resolutions from New Years gone by. The resolutions would sometimes vary from year to year: there was the time I resolved to learn the piano and the year I promised I would read a classic novel every week.
Then there are the resolutions that would return for unwelcome repeat appearances. I lost count of the number of times I resolved to go to the gym, cut out carbs and go to bed earlier. A recent study revealed that 80 per cent of people who make New Year’s resolutions will have failed them by the second week of February.
