NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

by Syl Sat Dec 31, 2016 5:37 pm

Will you make any?

I wont, never have and never will, because I hate lying to myself. Razz

by eddie Sat Dec 31, 2016 6:16 pm

Well I won't make myself false promises but I do want to start myself on the path to a career and start writing my book.

by Major Sat Dec 31, 2016 6:33 pm

I will make my usual one, LAFF LAFF LAFF

Exercise more, drink less, eat better and find supplementary sources of income.

Have to start eating better.

I WILL have to stop being so nice all the time...

STAND UP for myself and for what I believe in more often..

AND VOW to be always kind and gentle to puppies and kittens, l'il ol' grannies, and trees.

Trees are nice, too..

Try being nice to posters who disagree with you instead of making out your the big "i am"

by Syl Sun Jan 01, 2017 1:18 pm

I have decided to have FUN.....it's not a new years resolution, but I am going to make a determined effort to just simply have more fun. cheers

by Raggamuffin Sun Jan 01, 2017 1:20 pm

The usual nonsense about growing my nails (yet again) and eating less chocolate and crisps, blah blah blah. Laughing

Lol....I have eaten no chocolate at all for a week. it wont last.

A happy new year to all.

My new year resolution is to CONTINUE to speak out against racism, fascism and bigotry, as indeed I've always done.

I will not do so in a relentless or OTT manner. I don't think anyone can accuse me of EVER using such a style. But I will always keep doing it in what I judge to be a reasonable manner.

by JulesV Sun Jan 01, 2017 5:38 pm

It does not put me off when complete strangers accost me on forums and take pot shots at me. People whom I do not know, whom I have never chatted with, or ever said or done anything bad to. Then they post their typical nasty 'meangirl' remarks that come straight out of a highschool locker room, like the incorrigible bullies they are. I just shake my head and laugh .... and laugh.

Any chance of keeping a thread about New Years resolutions agenda free.....Ta.

Actually I had already made my point and left the thread. My two posts are linked. I stand by them.

You are not a moderator, Syl. It will be a cold day in hell before you will be able to order me around.

by Syl Sun Jan 01, 2017 5:48 pm

Like my avi...I am having my first glass of Champagne of the year, it wont be the last....I love it.
This tastes odd though, the worst thing about illness is the horrible way it makes normally delicious food and drink taste....and this is a bit like alka Seltzer at the minute. Sad

by Raggamuffin Sun Jan 01, 2017 5:48 pm

FFS, can you not be pleasant and agenda-free in one thread Jules?

Oh I will.....I have just remembered that I used to quite like Alka Seltzers.....actually, I think it's more like Andrews liver salts now I have got the taste. Razz

by Raggamuffin Sun Jan 01, 2017 6:07 pm

Quite a few people I know seemed to be under the weather at Christmas. I feel sorry for them of course, but I was just hoping that I didn't get anything before New Year.

I'm glad you didn't too....it's the worst time to be ill.
Anyway, onwards and upwards, the best thing about being ill is getting better cos even the mundane things you are used to doing become quite exciting. cheers

One does not need to make any new year's resolutions when one is this fucking awesome.

Woohooo......good for you girl. know your worth. Razz

I don't make any...ever, not cos I am already perfect, but because I KNOW come the 2nd week of January I wont be keeping them.
If you say you will diet (never have) or stop drinking (ditto) it puts that very thing in your mind all the time....so .it has the opposite effect.....at least with me it does.

by Raggamuffin Sun Jan 01, 2017 7:21 pm

I don't think it matters if people keep their New Year resolutions or not. New Year is of course a false concept - it's just another day, but it's useful for people to have some hope for the future if they've had issues in the past year. That's never a bad thing.

Good for you what's the point when you will end up not doing it anyway! I don't either cause I have no will power lol

That's another way of looking at it, and I suppose it's never bad to give yourself goals, as long as you don't get too disappointed when/if you don't reach them.

The main problem with making any resolutions which are chocolate related is that there's often chocolate left over from Christmas, and it needs to be eaten. Razz

I've eaten it all now, so here goes ...

by eddie Sun Jan 01, 2017 8:56 pm

Then Easter comes.

I'll be completely indifferent to chocolate by then.

Or possibly not. Laughing

Haha! Well it's true! You can't waste all that junk food, so you eat it and then don't buy any more (in theory). Laughing

by scrat Mon Jan 02, 2017 12:04 pm

We're already 1/24th way into the new year, and Yuletide was always a time for reflection and planning ahead.

Be resolute in keeping these three items readily avaiible.

1. fire flint

2. HCS short blade golok

3. water purifier

Oh, and start boiling nettles and add them in your soup just to get used to the taste of them.

by nicko Mon Jan 02, 2017 12:32 pm

In our Freezer now are two Black forest cakes, 1 Sherry Trifle with jam sponge, a box of mini Sausages and assorted chocolate items.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

Definately the gateau!

by nicko Mon Jan 02, 2017 5:05 pm

[I'D have put Gateau, but I couldn't think how to spell it]

But it's still a cake isn't it?

by stardesk Mon Jan 02, 2017 8:23 pm

HAPPY, HEALTHY, & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR FOLKS. As for resolutions? I never make any, we never keep them do we.

by Victorismyhero Mon Jan 02, 2017 8:25 pm

I resolve to be a bigger git than I was last year

(is that even possible)

by Raggamuffin Mon Jan 02, 2017 8:34 pm

I had two small Christmas puddings left, so I've eaten them. That's the last of the fattening things in the house. NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. 2984306523

Can you even freeze trifle Shocked

I gave a huge one to the foxes last night, they love sweet things Smile

by nicko Mon Jan 02, 2017 10:18 pm

It was frozen when it was bought from Morrisons, i'll have to have a closer look. it might be something else Shocked

by nicko Mon Jan 02, 2017 10:20 pm

As for the FOXES, they'll be sick all over your Lawn.

I put it out on the front garden, they'll throw up on the neighbours lawns.

No, I live next to a canal so there's loads living on the canal bank, I take food to them when I walk the dog Smile

Oh I love Christmas pudding with cream. Wish they sold it all year round.

Just wondered if anyone managed to stick to last years new year resolutions. Cool

I don't make them but I did promise myself I would have fun, and I have.
Hope whatever you pledged to do worked out for you. x

by magica Fri Dec 29, 2017 3:14 pm

I don't make resolutions Syl, I can't stick to them lol.

New years eve my 12yr old grandson is staying with us and after we see fireworks on tele, then we have sparklers in the garden.

We don't go out anymore, pubs want you to pay to enter, cabs are double fare, so why go out when everything we want is right here. Warmer too.

I did one of these - started a book - got a job (not a career) but will be looking for a career path by January.

So go me. cheers
