I just declined the generous offer of a (mostly) free foreign holiday which would have involved a free flight... but that wasn't really a great sacrifice on my part, since I don't have a valid passport and couldn't have left the country anyway!

I spent most of Christmas eating wild game/roadkill (rabbit, pheasant and partridges arriving freshly dead and having to be skinned/plucked and eviscerated before cooking), which was a rather higher proportion of meat than I can usually afford, and I am currently sitting with my Christmas-present woollen scarf around my neck because the temperature in here is about 54F thanks to severe chill outside (my hands are cold; the rest of me is wearing thermal underwear and multiple jumpers and is fine)... but none of that is a fresh resolution. It's simply old habit.
