New Year Resolutions...

[HeyWayne]

Smokin's only good for one thing - kippers. Gave up years ago after smoking since I was 16 on and off. One thing I will say, if you don't really want to give up, you'll never do it.

As for resolutions, I don't make them.

My mother says if you were intended to smoke you would have been born with a chimney in your head!

For all those who wish to stop smoking!

i've kinda made resolutions in the past - i've given up the fags, got fitter, got the house done up etc - the only one not fulfilled is the girlfriend one so won't bother with that one this time round
this coming year:
I will put more effort into the fruit and veg and be a lot more organised (veg plot)
i will put more effort into learning french
i will lose the stone or so that i put on after giving up the fags (veg plot)
i will get fitter, maybe join a gym with my son, tone the body up (veg plot)
i will do a bit more work again to build the business up a bit
i will eat more healthily(veg plot)
i will get the garden sorted out properly (veg plot)
i will give up the search for a girlfriend
i will book holidays more than 7 days before i go!
If i think of anything else, i'll add it later .......

Five of the answers are in the veg plot...............

I think my resolution this year will be not to make any more resolutions!

If I give much more up I may as well become a monk!

I haven't made resolutions for years, but having read the thread here I think I'll make some this year.

The first should be to decide on something - I'm sitting here thinking, what will I give up/take up/improve/work at - I think if I could resolve to do one thing and do it, I'd be making a good change. I spend so much time thinking I'd like to do this or that and never doing it.

So I resolve now to make at least one New Year's resolution.

Only... I can't think of any...

I dont make any resolutions. I think next year I will try to be tidierat home, get done at the lottie what I planned to do when I took it on, Decorate the house and tidy up the garden.

To make sure I log onto the Vine on a regular basis! My life has been rather haphazard over the last 12 months so haven't been able to! Hey! Happy New Year to everyone! Hope to catch up with you all in the next few weeks! Bernie aka DDL

Whats your new years resolution?

My new years resolution are 2 things.....

1st Make a more concerted effort to lose more weight and exercise a bit more,

2nd spend more time with the family............


Whats yours?

[kirsty b]

Yup, I reckon you're about 20 minutes away. I do get to Haverhill sometimes, so beware! (I'm a messy decorator, and I usually end up coated in paint.)

I finally quit nail-biting several years ago - it's so easy. Buy those acrylic ones that stick on with super-glue. I've got short square hands, but with my 'nails' on they look great, and I get compliments all the time. Even from people who've spent a fortune in the nail parlour!

A good pair of gardening gloves, and they usually survive a day's gardening, and if they don't, there's no waiting weeks for one to grow back, just stick on a new one. I've been wearing them about ten years now.

You would be more than welcome for coffee and a gossip if you ever do come this way. Can't wear stick on nails for work, they wouldn't last 5 minutes.

My mum and m-in law both had hypnosis and stopped smoking in one session. Never even wanted one after. Mum promised me she would stop when I had a baby and she did.

I don't make resolutions as a rule, as always feel I breeak them too soon, BUT having said that I AM going to lose a stone by Easter (always good to have a time limit on something I find), to add to the 2 I lost this year.

I am changing my new years resolutions.

I will give up smoking
i will stop caring what my family think of me
i WILL be the person i know i can be
and i will grow a BIG cabbage!!!!!

[Two_Sheds]

I promise to pick up one piece of litter every day ... the footpath at the back of my house is a disgrace (it's a route to school)

I promise to put together the two flatpack chest of drawers that are under the stairs.

I resolve to learn how to put up a shelf, then I can put up the shelves that are under the stairs.

Ditto pictures.

I resolve to dig up another third of the lawn without Mr Sheds noticing, and plant it with nice flowers.

I resolve not to nag him to put stuff away ... I will just leave it all on the floor, and SMILE!

I resolve to actually make something with all the fabric I have stored away in drawers.

I will decorate and tidy the spare room so people can stay over

I will have my nieces & nephews to stay more often, to give my Sis a break

I will stop wearing clothes with parrot poop on the shoulder

[Nicos]

Hmmm...no New Years resolution for me...I always break them and then have a 'feel bad' factor afterwards

And so...I'm going to try and feel good about myself, what I do, and make things better for me and those around me.
Every bit works eh????

Good luck with your resolutions though folks!!
