I'm mildly surprised that we haven't had a resolutions thread, or maybe I've been too blind to notice it. I never used to make any resolutions, mainly because in doing so I'd realise what an unsatisfying and miserable life I really do lead. However this year I've done the complete opposite and made what I consider to be many. It will be interesting to see if I can stick to most of them: - Give up smoking - should be fairly easy.
- Read more books (novels) - should be the easiest one as I haven't read a single novel in 2008, very unusual for me as I normally read loads.
- Get into shape - the classic NY resolution, but I do miss going to the gym.
- Learn some electric blues guitar - practice should be golden.
- Pass my remaining exams first time so I can finally be done with them by the end of the year - this will be tough but achievable if I put in enough work
- Pay off my overdraft/credit cards - this will probably be the hardest one, but given the additional time spent doing the other resolutions, should mean I spend less money going out.
What's everyone elses resolutions for 2009? Do you even bother? |

- Pay off the credit cards. Should be achievable by Feb if I get the bonus I'm expecting.
- At least 60 minutes of exercise per day.

Are you going to be a Daddy? I don't really see the point in new years ressies manly because you're waiting for a specific date to start, give up or change something that if you really wanted to do you'd have done already! |

I'd agree with that, never made one in my life..nevertheless if people want to use the tradition as a way of affecting change...why not? |

There's the crux of it though, if you don't put a specific date on it then you don't ever do it. I agree the 1st January in terms of when to ido something is a bit of a cliche but it does make sense. |

If you want do other things like make words bold or italic or underline them, an easy way is to hit the 'reply' button and then highlight the words you want to format and then there are buttons underneath where the smilies are you can click to make that world bold etc. If you're unsure whether you've done it properly you can always hit the preview button to preview your post before you submit (post) it. There's also a good guide in the 'Help' section at the top menu bit (the black bar above the red banner): http://thetownend.com/index.php?action=help;page=post |
