New Years Resolutions!

Jules

Ok, I know it's not even christmas day yet, but just wondering have any of you ladies or gentlemen, for that matter, given any thought to them... resolutions that is.

What do you think of them, do ya hold them, do ya break them? What's the strangest one you have ever heard?

I'm thinking about mine, and tbh im not too sure!

Clare Bear

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

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

milli

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.

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 !

Nightwish

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.

Hey
I more try to set targets for myself..


I want to try for another baby in the new year.

I want to go to the states shopping next december.

I want to finally get the back garden finished.

I want to be a happier, healthier, fitter quality.

I want to stay off the smokes.

I want to drink less....
I wanna spend more time with my mam and dad.

Thats it for now.

I want to couchsurf in a different european city every month 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

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

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...

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?

kittensoft1984

yeah id be up for that!

count me in...

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.

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

Oh well done!

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.

NewFrockTuesday

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?

Kya1976

I'm gonna start exercising less as I dont enjoy it and eat more chocolate as I enjoy that a lot more:P

Dragan

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.

Ginny

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.

January

I never looked at the date of the post and stupidly assumed that she was going to be trying for another baby in the new year I was like... "what the fook, is she mad?!?! She's just HAD a baby!!!"

Mine is to lose all the baby weight! Not that there's much of it, apparently I'm all baby!

monkeyfudge

/checks coccyx...

Nope... still not a monkey... maybe next year.

Done!!:D

I want to go to the states shopping next december.

not going to happen now!! But my best mate is just back from New York and she brought me back a fabulous Juicy Couture Bag.. So that will do me for now!!

I want to finally get the back garden finished.

Half way there... Give me something to do during my summer off!!!

I want to be a happier, healthier, fitter quality.

happy and healthy, working on the fitness...

I want to stay off the smokes.

Still off them, off them over a year now.

I want to drink less....

Top marks for that..

I wanna spend more time with my mam and dad.

they are sick of looking at me!!!

i don't have any

i like to try forming good habits anytime throughout the year and take it day by day

GirlInterrupted

Well done Quality, on all counts .

I would like to develop a thicker skin, more cynicism, and be generally more wary in life. Not to the point of hardness though.

LolaLuv

My only resolutions are to stop doing things that don't make me happy and to do one new thing every day.

Red Hand

To be happier.

To do more of the things I enjoy, instead of merely working (which seems to be the abiding memory of 2008)

To find a new job as my present one has just laid me off due to recession (seems to be ironic considering my previous aim:pac:)

Maybe travel or just take a holiday.

Frisbee

Stop blowing all my wages by Sunday (I get paid on Friday...)

Not spend another summer here...

jellie

hmmm.. for me this has been a bit of a crappy year, so i wanna make next year a happy year where i finally get over all the crap from this year! :pac:

Been on a diet for awhile, going well so far so..
1. continue with the diet (& loss the weight i will no doubt put on eating chocolate over xmas )

2. learn to drive! had a few lessons & gave up. 2009 is the year i finally do it (im scared for every other driver)

3. be happy

i dont usually make resolutions but i think those are doable

Crumble Froo

1. acquire legal status to live and work in new zealand, hopefully without too many compromises.

2. put dreads in my hair.

Em, but won't you have to give up on the giving up of giving up then?

As for me, for once in my life I'm going to make a proper go of getting fit. 3 months, no alcohol or crap eating. Training will be increased to a pretty tough level, will publish it in a journal (again) over on fitness probably. Maybe include pics this time in order to push myself that extra bit.

ninaford

give up meat(with the state of the meat in this country at the mo... i think ill go veggie!)

Crumble Froo

easier than you'd think ^

fits
