POLL: Hosting duties

The holiday season, and all its parties, are now pretty much behind us. The treats have been eaten, the drinks drunk and a steady dent put in the piles of inevitable leftovers. (Check out healthzone's fitness guide to help get your waistline back on track).

During this time, just over a third Yourhome readers (37 per cent) hosted a holiday party, according to our latest poll (though I'm thinking that many of us were too busy with hosting and party-going duties to cast a ballot!)

Sixty-one per cent opted to skip the hosting duties and two per cent said they didn't know if they'd be holding their own party.

Now, with much of the entertaining behind us, it's time to box up the decorations, clean up the messes and get started on 2009 - complete with some home-related resolutions.

I know we're already three days into the New Year, but I'm still setting mine, though I'm certain they will include unpacking my "box room" and better organizing my office space.

Vote in this week's poll (on the lower left of the front page) on whether you set New Year's resolutions for your home, and share them by commenting on the story, this post or by emailing me.
