    Drink more.
    Put on weight.
    Eat chips and buns.
    Stay in more.

    If your resolutions go anything like mine you'll be a teetotal anorexic with a particular aversion to chips and buns and a morbid fear of staying in by the 1st Feb:D

    Going to try give up smoking too. Only 5 a day so should be easy ;)

    You mean those things people make and never keep to?If you know before starting something your not going to succeed why start? Nope, not for me.

    You'd think so, but it's the final few that will be toughest to give up.

    Plenty of things I intend to do as always, and I'm busy making them happen.
    Nothing specifically NY.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Something like Bluey. I'm already doing the things I want. I don't divide my goals up in some kind of weird annual ritual.
    I don't care what time of year it is if I want to do something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Buy e-smokes, we'll see if that will help me get off the cancer sticks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭franktheplank


    Stop making empty promises I won't keep.

    Or was that last years?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    Stop thanking Wibbs' posts before he thinks I fancy him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    Give up the drink and stop going out.

    I only smoke about 4. We're talking packs here, yeah?

    Puh, I'm down to two. If I get to a pack a day I reckon it might even start being good for me. BTW Whoops, getting an MR2 is a shopping list, not a resolution:P

    After winning a Nobel Prize and then equalling Lance Armstrong's Tour de France record, I'm going to take it a little easier next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭face1990


    Get a job
    Stop smoking
    Move out (closely linked to getting a job)

    He's not. I've met him, he's dreamy.

    Haven't made any, I won't stick to them longer than 10 minutes anyway :D

    Finding a good MX5 is even worse. Rust, rust and more rust. Good luck though, the MR2 is a good choice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    I'm finally going to sort out the fungal infection on my big toe. Mrs Oldyouth says no more sucky sucky 'till I do :(

    To eat only when I am hungry, and to stop eating as soon as I am not hungry. Simple really, but I have had this in mind for last few months and it's been bloody hard.


  • Registered Users Posts: 220 ✭✭Flutterby80


    From now on its going to be all about me, I'm done putting other people's needs/feelings/happiness before my own. I learned my lesson in the worst way this year and I never want to feel pain like it again. Onwards and upwards!! Happy New Year :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Lay off the booze for the sake of my health, quit my social smoking for good, get fitter, save more money, get promoted at work. Sigh.

    I don't normally do one as I never stick to it.
    For this year I'm going to try.
    - Gym 4 times a week
    - Healthy eating cutting out all junk food rather than just limiting what I've done so far. (I did it before for about 6 weeks)
    Want to keep it up til at least March/April.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,839 ✭✭✭thomasj

    No, but the opening lines struck a chord with me. Around this time of year I always have a few things on that list that I should really be getting on with.

    Thankfully Im not a heroin addict though! :)
