Weekend looming :pac: (ish)

The gym is great, should be looking forward to it :P

(I@m just new, prob get sick of it too later on!)

Was there on Saturday with a buddy who is highly strung to say the least, did an unreal session (by my standards), so still have lots of sore bits.

Webmonkey

Yeah. But sure that's good sign. Shows that the gym is working - Feel the same myself.

Owen

Monday was surprisingly okay, did a bumper corner on a 3 series which was fecked and it came out grand, right before the heavy showers came too. After that, a seriously good coffee, home now playing with the dog, dinner, and then unfortunately accounts.

On the upside, the non-toxic paint I was waiting to come in to paint a Baby's cot was waaaay cheaper than I thought too, so thankfully this week I might actually break even

Might have a new band to be playing with too after the breakup of my old band after 7 years, so things appear to be looking up.

Webmonkey

If I ever have a holiday from here I'll have to call down to Cork and get my MG sorted by ya! - Poor thing is neglected now in an underground basement

Still though, the train to work is great

panda100

Its so dangerous having The English Market and Marks and Spencer on my way home from work. Picked up a whole load of cheese and bread in the Market and then two yum-yums in Marks!So much for the new year diet

Owen

I hear you about that Panda! I go grovery shopping most weekends, and I usually end up getting all my sliced meat & cheese in the Polish shops, flavours are incredible, and it's ridiculously cheap too, 20 slices of smoked cheese from the mountains for about 1.80 ... om nom nom

- Two are secrets
- make my time in the gym more productive, I go loads but the intensity isn't there quite often
- clean up the diet
- there is a lady quite often in my thoughts who I find incredibly hot and irresistible but breaking the ice has proven quite an issue for me, so I want to break that ice Well it broke but has frozen over again. The only positive is I reckon she may be of a similar state of mind (about the ice not the hot and irresistible bit )

This time next year I don't want to have to be making these NY resolutions.

+1 on the better year 2011. 2010 was some disaster in my opinion! haha.

Oh talking about Gym, decided to join one first time in my life! - Can't wait! Time for change this year

PaintDoctor wrote: »

Resolutions are to finally loose my little pot belly, I look ridiculous with it. Thin arms, thin legs, thin face, and this stupid lump in the middle. Learn Bass Guitar (Actually in the middle of some songs at the moment), learn some more skills for work, do a lot more web development this year, finish restoring my 84 Mini Tripper, and make a decision if I'm going to sell my JCW MINI or not. I've been all over the place trying to decide.

corkcomp wrote: »

ive got plenty but I seem to have forgotten its actually 2011 so I should really start sticking to the resolutions. main resolution is to avoid using a computer from 5 pm - 9am at least three days a week:eek: thinking of getting back into swimming too, mix things up a bit

NoDice wrote: »

NYR is to pick up the guitar again and stop using it as an ornament. Also to tone up again (stupid take-aways) AND to start saying yes more often!!!

Cadyboo wrote: »

Yes I agree with this. And good luck everyone. Trying to go off the cigarettes, have my patches ready and am rearing to go!:o:(

So how is everyone keeping up with their resolutions???
:DAm still off the cigs, although I did smoke at a wedding on fri, but it was only a few.

NoDice

Hey Cadyboo, fair play for staying off the smokes still!

I haven't done any exercise yet but I bought an abs cruncher the other day. Ha ha I put it together and then put it behind the couch. However I've been playing a bit of dance central on the xbox at home so hopefully that'll get my fitness up a tiny bit! Ha ha disaster! Still haven't had any fast food though so that's great for me!

Owen

Doing alright with the Bass, think I've a band lined up, will know in the next week or so. Doing alright with the diet too, but the jellies are evil

Doing accounts today so that'll decide if I'm going to be going for courses, or just getting a normal job :pac:

Thanks!! Dont feel any health benefits yet.. better hurry, lol
Ah sure it was probably a bit of exercise making the abs cruncher. ha. Always dance with the wii, love it!
Going for a long walk in a bit with some friends, and am not happy coz it looks like its about to lash!

Thats great news about the band, what type of music? Good luck with the accounts;) Yes I agree, jellies are evil..:p They are my addiction.

Cadyboo wrote: »

Probably boring wedding music - I did that for the last 7 years so I'm immune to it now, I just tune out and go to a happy place when I'm gigging, but it was lead guitar up until now. Did rock for years before that around the whole country - THAT was fun

Cadyboo

I like boring wedding music:D But then I dont go to weddings every week. Well if you are doing what you love (kinda) and get paid, how bad!
I love going to live bands, although a lot of them are weddingy. Saw Breech one night, outstanding, because they were different.

Finished making chocolate krispy cakes with the small one. That's all the Xmas chOcolate gone.thank the lord!!

Ice skating, def not as much fun as it looks :P Not something for me anyway, I fell on my side and gave up :P

FTGFOP

Damn, that's good coffee!

Webmonkey

Coffee so tempting but avoiding it. Getting up at 6.30 is proving more difficult than thought Gotta think of the benefit of getting out of work early though!

Owen

Getting out of work early is always good WM. Just making some coffee now myself, then walk the dog, then make an attempt to earn a few quid for the day. Hope it's a good one everyone!

PaintDoctor wrote: »

Yeah it's great, more time to do stuff on evenings and doesn't feel like you living to work.

Awh! You shouldn't give up! usually the people on the rink that work there can give really good free instructions to get you going! Ha ha my friend hates it, she promised to go skating with her BF, got out on the rink, did one lap hanging onto the wall/railing thing the whole way around and then walked out.

Morning all. Here goes another super long day.

Blitzkrieger

Lol. Skating is brilliant but the younger you take it up the better. I remember doing it for the first time at 15 and had some pretty spectacular wipe outs. I think if I tried it today I'd break my hip or something.....

LenaClaire

I used to love ice skating. We used to go every year on Christmas Eve when I was a kid. I gave away my skates though when I moved here.

deRanged

I'd give it a go, but I'm confident I'd mangle myself. still, my sister worked there a year or two ago and she said they hardly ever had to send people to hospital

Sorry if this is a personal Q; you don't have to answer. But are you not from Ireland? - Don't answer this. It IS a personal Q sorry, my curiousity got the better of me and it doesn't matter anyway sorry! I'm not from Ireland. Also I find people who aren't are super at skating due to the exposure. My buddy from Hungary is unreal at it!

Ha I was always one of those skaters who just didn't seem to give a sh.t about what happened to me. Even on normal roller blades; I'd go too fast, jump over things - Skated down Patricks's Hill and nearly killed myself!

Wish I could skate backwards though!!!

It's okay, I am not from Ireland. I am from the US - a cold, snowy part We used to go rollerskating a lot when I was a kid too and I figured out how to roller-skate backwards but I never got the hang of ice skating backwards.

Ha ha sorry about that! Cool, would love to move to the US defo.

Would you have been interested at all in the roller derby thing that came up a week ago? I really wanted to go and the girls were so nice but I couldn't afford the gear by this Saturday right after Christmas. I'm going to start getting it bit by bit so I can go to the next try outs for it defo.

Owen

Covered in muck currently. That's what I get for trying to straighten a bumper on a filthy 4x4 in the rain. I might aswell be covered in cow poo, it'd look the same. Going home for a shower and kicking into more accounts. Could do with this week being over already!

Sounds life fun with the bumper, not :pac:

Went iceskating once when I was in Galway, wasn't at all good at it but only fell once, savage hot chocolate and marshmallows and stuff there, yum.

Papa_Lazarou

Me and ice skating tend not to get on very well :P. First two times i did it abroad on proper rinks( in Italy and the olympic village in Munich) and with my luck broke each wrist. Never again i tell ya

I can't right now but am def keeping an eye out for next try outs. I just got a new set of work responsibilities and they are keeping me super busy but maybe in a few months I will have a little more time.

Ouch! I think you have made a wise choice to stay off the ice :eek:

And hot chocolate is the best part of ice skating :P

'A fart with blood in it'

Sounds like a good name for a beer that smells of old onions "A pint of Blart, please. I want to be left alone tonight".

A train just pulled into station.

currently not a lot, however it's dark and i can't see out so i won't make assumptions...

Pop a flare and report back. Over.

@tommy21 If you hear a train at around 12 report in. Doesn't matter where it's going.

I can see two 15 year old girls when i look out my window, both pissed drunk laughing and singing at the top of their lungs.

Definitely not X Factor material.

Just ate five slices of toast. Two of them were heels. Thought people should know that.

I hate the heels, I always throw them out. I think I'm going to have a PJs day!
