    This year I didn't make any and I've had one of the best years of my life probably so I'm not going to make any for next year either, except to stay happy :D

    I always broke them after a few weeks anyway! :rolleyes:

    Yeah I have virtually no willpower so hardly ever end up sticking with my resolutions - BUT I guess my top one this Christmas would be to find a job. Can't wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    I'm going to be resolute in not making any resolutions, and for lent I'm giving up giving up!

    Merry Xmas & best wishes for 2008 !

    I've no willpower whatsoever so my resolution last year was to go to more gigs, which I did in spades. This year, I'll try up my gig attendance more, which is looking increasingly likely. Also I must pass my driving test this year.

    A while ago when the internet was just getting popular, a guy asked if he could be invited to your house and stay. He would then put up pics of you, your town and whatever else was interesting on his website. He went round the world several times AFAIK!

    There was another guy who asked people to send him money and he would blow up his computer! check the vid

    Well... once I'm a monkey I'll be able to get my monkey friends to help me find him and pelt him with poop.

    but... as a person, you have opposable thumbs which can help wioth general strangulation/fling stuff at them...

    mostly i want the ****ers dead, or ****ing wishing they were....

    Pffft.... where's the fun in that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    actually, i ahve to admit, i didnt quite have the heart attack i'd been anticipating when i checked my last lot of messages... and my b/f is still talking to me, so i mustn't have said anything too bad...

    so maybe the above post was an over-reaction on my part...


    you are such an enabler...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Be nicer, I;ve become a bit bitchy these last few months, I'll try not to be as blunt either!



    Also wear nicer clothes.

    Hi, was just wondering who here has made loosing weight and toning up one of their 08 resolutions? Would people be interested in getting a support network going - recipes, exercise tips, perhaps exercise buddies? We can keep each other motivated and help each other out?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭kittensoft1984


    yeah id be up for that! :D

    count me in...


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,029 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    Ah sure I disagree with the concept of New Years resolutions.

    Its just procrastination, I don't see why we should wait until Jan 1st to suddenly decide to stop eating chocolate.

    PUT DOWN THE MARS BAR NOW

    I agree,
    it's ten times as easy to stick to a plan if you've got others working alongside you.

    If your all working out at the same time for example, you'll feel much less inclined to slack off for example.

    Yeah I definitely would be interested... Have started pilates but need to do more exercise. I hate this bloody weather.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    The weather is one of the best excuses not to go for run :)

    Mine are to loose weight and start to look after myself again. I haven't seen the inside of a beauticians in aaaaaaaages. And I would love a hair cut. But I'm saving those treats for when I get down to my ideal weight.

    A bit early I know but Im in work and Im bored.

    Heres mine


    1. Stay off the cigs
    2. Stop wasting money on taxis
    3. Keep the roots in order
    4. Lose a few pounds blah
    5. Not let cat bully me into feeding him 5 times a day


    Nothing too profound. Im kinda shallow :pac:

    Anyone got any serious changes they would like to make in a shiny new 2009?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,879 ✭✭✭Kya1976

    Not making any this year. Like Clare Bear i adopted a roll with the punches attitude to 2008 and have had one of the best years of my lifes. The ups have far outweighed the downs.

    This years one was to just have a better year then 2007, and 2008 has pretty much been the best year ever.
    This year I want to get the house in order and basically just enjoy our first year living together.
