Welcoming The New Year

I was thinking of reflecting a little on 2008 but that's far to deep for this time of night so I'm just going to say here's to a happy and healthy 2009 to everyone.

Hope you make some worthwhile resolutions and have better luck at sticking to them than me.

This year I'm just going for the one resolution. Lose weight

This is me (and Louis of course) now. This time next year there WILL be less of me (and more of Louis :D)
