What do I want in 2014?

 I want my kids to have experiences that will make them happy as well as growing them as people. Whether its:

Building LEGO

Riding ponies

or more swinging!!!

I want there to be tidiness and calm in our lives too. Well as much as possible in a house that’s got those three little darlings living in it.

I want to be able to enjoy time with my wonderful wife as we rocket towards our tenth wedding anniversary in June (and 14 years together in May), just doing nothing other than being with her because she’s ace. And I want to arrange something special for our anniversary too. She means a lot to me and I want to show here how much.

I want to be able to play Hungry Hippos with my feet if I damn well want to:

And I want this year to be easy. Or at least hard but rewarding. But if it’s going to be hard but rewarding, perhaps the rewarding part could relate to a EuroMillions jackpot win or something.

I want to be able to grow foolish facial hair that will put Kip Hakes moustache in the shade. I want to go out looking like this with no sense of irony:

Oi oi savaloy

Well actually scrap that one, it is a silly idea.

I want be be completely gobsmacked when I stick the Beatles on our SONOS and one of my kids goes and gets the felt tipped pens and draws something like this off their own bat:

I want us all the sleep through the night and be rested, for the first time in 7 years (Ned, are you listening?)

What do YOU want from 2014?
