Fixed.

Incorrect, that should be a comma, but it is a pretty bad sentence in general.

Another New Year's day has arrived and I've got a lot on my plate; gym, shopping, relatives and a visit to my fiancee.

That's how I've always used it. Not sure if its corrent though!

David Mitchell is right, that should be a colon.

"There are a lot of ways to incorrectly use a colon; Bungle uses his as both an entrance and exit."
