yes i aim not to be single again by the end of the year... far fetched i know..
that was mine for a while...... but this year i realised being single isn't all that bad, and it gives me time to sort my head out and spend time with my mates :D
my n.y.resolutions are:
cut down and then quit the cigs
spend lots more time with friends
have some "me" time
go on a lovely holiday
and most of all have some fun :p
and lose weight

My resolutions for 2004 are to have fun fun and even more fun, get back to going to the gym and have a brill girlie holiday with my mate.

debs your a girl after my own heart :D :tu:
have fun who needs men anyway ;):p
I don't really have any bad habits to give up, bit of a goody two shoes, well maybe one or two :naughty: so perhaps this is the year where I become a bad girl

:tu: good for you....bad girls have fun.....but just be careful :D
I stopped making them quite a few years ago..... most of the time people seem to set incredibly high standards for themselves.... and then are bitterly disappointed when they fail to achieve them.... get more upset and bitter about themselves and their inability to do anything right.... and down the spiral we go :shrug:
On the positive side.... if the aims are realistic and plausable.... then it can be an incredible boost to one's self esteem when they're attained :)
Just remember not to aim to high unless you have a parachute.... or have wings ;)
Well.... there are a few angels out there ;)
I....... being demon spawn..... am not trying to fly :D
Good luck to all and if you fail, try again, the year doesn't really end on the 31st Dec.... it continues.
..... and just in case..... local counselling services are not as bad as some people say ;)

wow, i get quoted with no comment, as if to reinforce my point
*whoo*
I have 3 resolutions
1: Lose some damn weight!!
2: Learn how to drive
3: Not to be single this time next year
1 and 3 are the most unlikely........
*edit* oh and not really a resolution but
4: somehow go to Japan for a holiday :D
<snip snip snip>=from reading other posts did you stick your tongue in and out 6 times? you'd look like a lizard :erm: :eek:

as for sleeping patterns...my insomnia seems to have reared its ugly head again :( too much on my mind i guess :cry:

ic not a good attitude to start with.....be determined, be stubborn and losing weight, don't go on a fad diets, change your diet and eat more healthily and exercise more (bexy takes her own advice :erm: )

3 resolutions.
1 Give up men.
2 Give up men.
3 Give up men.
Should have no problem with that one then! :D
I'd like to give up smoking, but not as a resolution, just don't think i would do it.
Thought about the whole g.friend thing. been single for 6 months after a 2 yr relationship, but still wondering if i can be arsed.
Keep up with uni work, and make my flatmate clean more often (smelly little bleeder)
See more gigs.
Sounds a bit selfish, but care more about me than other people

I bet everyone has been telling you there own little titbits about sleep so here we go.
I had big problems with sleep, became like a vampire, sleep all day, up all night. Went to Doctor advise as follows:
Drink less cafine
Smoke less before bed
No reading in bed (didn't keep up with that one :shrug: )
Have a shower before bed
force yourself up even when you don't have to get up
Well there we go, worked for me, feel great now.

Apparently.... sitting in front of a PC up to an hour before trying to go to sleep is a bad idea too.... stimulates the brain :erm:
Doesn't affect me though..... Mmmmm... wonder if there's a connection ;)

1. Listen to my own advice more.
2. Laugh every day even if I'm sad and help others to do likewise.
3. Remember the next 50 years can be even better than the first.

No probs Bifta just sing along to this it always helps me:
Busy Doing Nothing
We're busy doing nothing
Working the whole day through
Trying to find lots of things not to do.
We're busy going nowhere,
Isn't it just a crime?
We'd like to be unhappy but...
We never do have the time.
I have to watch the river,
To see that it doesn't stop.
Then stick around the rosebuds,
So they'll know when to pop.
Better keep the crickets cheerful,
They're really a solemn bunch.
Hustle, bustle, and only an hour for lunch.
(Repeat opening verse)
I have to wake the sun up,
He's liable to sleep all day.
And then inspect the rainbows,
So they'll be bright and gay.
You must rehearse the songbirds,
To see that they sing in key.
Hustle, bustle, and never a moment free.
(Repeat verse)
I have to meet a turtle,
I'm teaching him how to swim.
Then I have to shine the dewdrops,
You know they're looking rather dim.
I told my friend the robin
I'd buy him a brand new vest.
Hustle, bustle, we never do have,
we never do have, we never do, never do, never do, never do,
Never do have the time,
Never do have the time.
(Please note that the opening verse,
and each repetition of it,
is preceded by a long string of la, la, las.)

that sounds like an ultimatum :)
you must be worthy in someones eyes to recieve "all those things" and they will/should come automatically. :)
I wonder just how many people stick to their New Year resolution(s)? cant be that many as many people make the same NY resolutions each year.
I must put my mind to giving up the fags :mad:
Smokers Told 'Give Up Or Clog Up'
As thousands vow to stop smoking in 2004, new figures show that one in five people in Britain will die from the effects of lighting up.Now shock tactics are being used to help ex-smokers stick to their New Year resolutions - in the form of a graphic television campaign.The British Heart Foundation is targeting long term smokers, telling them to give up before they clog up.
The organisation says just three cigarettes a day can double a person's risk of a heart attack - one smoker dies every five minutes.
But it has been the cancer risk that has received the most publicity recently, so the BHF is adding its weight to campaigns to stop people smoking.
And a new exercise programme designed specifically for smokers has been launched in a bid to help them kick the habit for good.
Charity QUIT has joined forces with doctors and fitness instructor Jamie Baird, whose celebrity clients include Donna Air and Kate Beckinsale, to produce the tailor-made plan.
Before its too late.

I've given up smoking! :eek:

Apart from the obvious health reasons (I also have asthma :rolleyes: :blush: ) it is costing a bloody fortune...:afire:
So....no ciggies today, & I actually don't feel the want for one either. :tu:
Wish me luck (I think I'm gonna need it!) :D

good luck mate......the cravings won't hit you hard until about 4/6weeks...then it gets difficult (i found)
and anyway you smoke pouncy maloboro lights...so really your not used to nicotine ;):p
also neil when you get the urge to smoke it is prolly just the habit of having something in your mouth....suck on a lolly that helps to curb it (no rude comments from the boys please) and yes i know what im talking about i gave up for a year and a half
