I shall not be making any as I have no inclination to go through with anything long term.

Acquire a decent source for pimeta/steps/etys? :P

I recommend a Meridian cd player ;) A G5 pod isnt bad either.

1. To not drink during the week.
2. To get back down to 13 stone
3. To complete Paris Marathon in under 4hrs.
4. To complete Redcar half in under 1hr 40.


Once youve done that, perhaps you can have a go at Ben  Nevis 6 times in 24 hours...


Fantastic, how far was each run ?

There is a yearly race up Snowdon (i.e. Wales). I was going to have a go last year but didnt realise you couldnt pay on the day. Deffo doing it this year tho :)

So Then.......

Did you all succeed? :lol:

I certainly didnt.  I put a stone on in the last year which Isnt that bad I guess, mind when I made the resolution, I wasnt in an office job.

1) To stop being such a pessimistic miserable b*****d. (Half The Time)

Suceeded, I a really much happier looking back, I think.

2) To stop being so optimisticly naive when it comes to my opinion on someone.

Suceeded, I think.  errgh, what a year.

3) Get back into the routine of excerise before bed. I was doing that for 3 months and just stopped for some reason. I felt happier doing that.

I just stopped for no reason in the middle of summer.  Ive taken it up again.

4) To keep my weight below or at 11 1/2 stone, unless its anything else but fat, I didnt like the way I looked at 12 stone.

Im just under 13 stone, but its hardly the case of feeling unfit and looking flabby like last time.

5) To not give up job hunting and get my ass out of temp working.

Working, being trained, getting pay rised.  Enjoying it.

6) To pass my exam resit to get my 2:2 Honours.

Failed exam, left with unclassified degree.

Well, for 2008....

1.  Dont buy things unless I absolutely NEED them.
2.  Save relating money and save the extra money made from my recent pay rises.
3. Start marathon training earlier this year, started around March time last year.  Already started this year.
4. Shed the remaining bits of fat on my body, not bothered about losing weight as Ill probably put weight on from doing weights anyway.
5. Buy a bicycle and cycle to and from work.
6. Eat less crap food, dont each much anyway to be honest.

And the funniest of them all.

7. Go on a date and get laid.  2007 will be remembered for its "dry spell".

Finish the bottle of Amaretto next to me and the two bottles of Glenfarclas Scotch whisky.

Other bottles may be added to the list throughout the year :)


Drank the Amaretto, but the doctor put me on strong painkillers just after this so I didnt manage the Glenfarclas.

Also should have had an edit to get my first book to a publisher, guess I forgot to put that on, or it vanished during a problem :/

This year I havent had any need.

Had my first experience of Amaretto on NYE.....was pretty tasty from what I can remember. Looked for it online, but most places seem to be sold out.

Tastes rather like the peanut brittle, but almond flavour. Very intense and nice.

Yeah, from what I can remember it was very nice. Had about 6 shots of it as chasers after my pint. Only one place I went sold it though.
