New Year Resolutions ?

[Wonderwall]

Okay, I comprised 

Had my retained fire brigade training tonight.  Came home and went down pub about 2 hours after everyone else . Still managed to sink 3 foaming ales , but it's nice to be nice . Is it not!!!!

Done 30 lengths earlier today , so I feel I've already paid my penance !!!!!!

 

So , the 3rd day and I've regressed already , no surprise I suppose .  It's hard be a sociable type!

I made a New Years Resolution in millennium year. I am pleased to be able to say 18 years later that I have kept rigidly to it. It was never to make any more New Years resolutions.

Completely agree with you Paul. I don't think I have ever made any in my life.

I would be here forever making reply to so many of the posts above. Let's just say that chocolate and eating too many sweet things is something that I am always struggling with ... the subsidised vending machine in the staff room at work doesn't help. I have to walk past it to get to the coffee!!

I gave up the gym a couple of years ago after having been regularly for about 15 years so perhaps it's time I went back ... except that after a long day at work I really don't have the energy or inclination. I thought that maybe I would substitute proper walking instead ... but it didn't really happen last year. The problem is that unless one is going to walk the streets (!!) you have to drive somewhere first and then walk in a circle back to the car!

Maybe I should just resolve to buy more shoes and handbags ... I think Grace would approve of that one.

The only new years resolution I have ever made was in 1997, and on st Patrick's day in 1997,  made that happen, and here I am in 2018 still keeping to it.......................... and I have every intention to for a long while yet.

So what your saying is, give up coffee and you'd be killing 2 birds with one stone....

Wholeheartedly I would imagine 

Same with Mrs N 

Still hasn't bought any more shoes 

But the weekend is to come..................

I'm hitting the sales this weekend, have seen a gorgeous pair of shoes for half price in Next, im indoors thinks it great that I'll be saving money, what he doesn't know is that I'm buying two pairs in different colours, well they are half price 

I go to an all female Gym regularly, this is a true event, I kid you not...............My friend and me were working out with an Instructor and another rather large lady, when we finished, she went over to her bag and pulled out one of those huge Galaxy bar of chocolate, unwrapped and started eating. She must have seen us gawping and said "If you can't have the odd treat after working out when can you?" Our Instructor walked away in disbelief, head in hands Lol

Sorry Neil for going slightly off topic

7 days into the new year, and 7th day without a bevvy and not one baked confection has passed my lips. I'm patting myself on the back. "Pride comes before a fall" shouts someone!!

[NorfolkNog]

Stick with the baked confection but no beer!!!

I have got to admit, I'm not a good influence on people.

Get yourself a beer and a nice tart and enjoy

It is with great regret I am now down to 2 pairs of running shoes, now you would think this would not be a problem, go and get some new ones, stick em on and head out the door.

However I have had the same type of shoes for years (not I said type not the same pair) and here is the latest update 

I am setting up a fund raising site shortly and seeing as you love buying shoes if you would like to contribute I would appreciate it, but I will also post the link incase you fancy buying them for me.

Size 13

Thanks in advance

The colour wasn't intentional for work colours more as a way to draw attention away from the face, as in "ooh look at those red shoes" rather than "ooh look at his screwed up illuminous beetroot face"

It's not very often i come across someone with larger feet than mine  although I am actually only a size 12, just running I need a 13.

Did I mention my fundraising page????

my nephew wears size 16 they had a great deal of trouble getting him boots when he was in the army, so much so he had special dispensation to wear trainers on parade until the boots were made.
