    Then I want to move to Dublin for College! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Little Acorn


    I want to make abit more effort with my outfits,
    stop smoking,
    and be abit more assertive.(eg. stop lending money if it leaves myself broke,and actually getting back stuff that I do lend!) It'll be hard to get out of the habit of being a soft touch though.

    I want to thoroughly enjoy a new decade of my life :)

    I've competed in two of the three weight discplines, I think a new direction is beckoning me in 2010 :pac:

    I want to leave the absolute and utter horribleness of 2009 behind, and just work on being happy in my skin (and on my own) for a while \o/

    Hit my target weight, I reckon I can do that by or near Xmas, then put it all back on Xmas day, then hopefully lose it again by the end of January.

    That's about it, happy with everything else.

    Maybe clear that huge stack of paperwork I keep hiding behind the pc in work.

    buying a house
    doing up said house

    I want to go on a date! :) Given I am the single most romantic person in the world, I might as well! :)

    I wanna make some money and escape for a while!

    The term "black dog" means depression as far as I know. I think it was the name of a bestseller book on the subject.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭MissIT


    1. Become more confident and happy in myself.
    2. Take college ALOT more serious.
    3. Pass my driving test and actually drive my car.
    4. Get fit, eat healthy and put on a tiny bit of weight.
    5. Travel.
    6. Take risks.
    7. And basically have a damn good time.

    2008 was the worst year of my life, 2009 just disappeared so fast the summer was brilliant but the rest was nothing special, so im going to make sure I enjoy every minute of 2010 :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I want to find someone to share my life with.

    To keep my job and not be let go in the new year.

    To start living life to the full again-to make friends and to go out just for the hell of it,not just cos there is a special occasion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,199 ✭✭✭G-Money


    In the words of Dermot O'Leary when announcing the X Factor results

    "In no particular order..."

    Continue with my weight loss and finally get to my target weight. Hopefully by this time next year.

    Work and sharpen up my northern accent. I've been down here too long :)

    Get a f*****g snog at least from a girl I fancy. And not in some sort of flukey, drunken, dare kind of way.

    Make sure I don't end up out of work for very long when my contract ends in May.


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

    1) Want to drop a weight class I fight in. It'll mean I'll have to lose 4kgs(probably wont happen unless I lose a limb)

    2) Get a licence and a bike.

    3) Keep getting my qualifications so I can go do pe teaching.

    4) More tattoo's!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 xmcp

    2) Get my BF down to 10% and maybe.... visible abs.
    3) Put in more work with some girls and maybe turn them into girlfriends. Maybe :-)

    Lose more weight.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭SeekUp


    Plan our wedding that will be somewhat socially responsible, under budget, fun!, and pretty without going insane -- I hear it's possible!

    Move closer to people we know and love.

    Make more effort with my writing. I write things and then do nothing with them, or I'll have ideas and pitch them very half-assedly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 betterlife


    1. Find a man to marry me;
    2. Want people to stop talking about me;
    3. Gain more weight;
    4. Enjoy my translation work without any gossipy (My parents, relatives and neighbours can't bear me using computer. They suspect me of playing games).
    5. No one cares how much I earn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,488 ✭✭✭pikachucheeks


    - Get my ordinary degree.

    - Go on a J1.

    - Make samples for my clothing line.
