I'm going to learn how to play an instrument. I've always fancied learning how to play the piano - and this year I'm finally going to do it.

Just off the phone after booking weekly lessons. Almost quit before I started when I heard the prices. :eek:

Seriously though, I'm going to try stop eating unhealthy food though, its difficult seeing the fact evertything thats good for you tastes like crap.

Question, if I get subway, and get them to put lettuce on my chicken sambo, does that make it healthy?

i actually have a "to do" list more than a list of actual resolutions.

i do one every year and i tend to say that if i can do around a quarter of it then i'll be happy - i don't actually purposely set out to knock each item off, i just stick the list up in a prominent position so i look at it regularly and if circumstances at that point in time suggest i can knock an item off the list fairly easily, then i'll do it.

i've got 30 items on it this year ..

My resolution is not to make any more resolutions,then I can't break 'em.

System · 27/12/08 - 14:45

I'm still considering last years. Weak willed little me.

JazzyP · 27/12/08 - 14:47

be a better person

Jason · 27/12/08 - 16:44

i think where the whole concept of 'resolutions' falls over is that you're kind of expected to make a concerted effort to actually achieve it.

i know what i'm like and i know full well that if i sit down one day and say "right, i am going to paint a room in the flat within the next month" i just won't do it.

that's why i feel the 'to do' list works better for me because there's no hard and fast 'rule' that you have to do anything on it - just that if the opportunity presents itself then take it.

I want to further my skills for the business I started, part time, in August.

Why do you think you're not a good person now?

Vanilla_Slice · 27/12/08 - 17:35

I am going to lick every person I meet on the chin and make a woofing noise.

Scots rool · 27/12/08 - 18:43

Yup.........Not to make any.

darkjedimaster · 28/12/08 - 04:14

I am going to make 3 :eek:.

(1) Flip the finger up at the green brigade by escaping bubblewrap Britain & go on at least 1 long haul & 1 short haul flight.

(2) Find myself a girlfriend

(3) Get more monies worth from the disgusting license fee

Number 1 is easy to do as with money that has been given to me by relatives during Xmas, I nearly have enough for a flight.

.

Number 2 is slightly more difficult but at least have 12 months to do before it gets broken

:eek:

Number 3, I will be able to do without breaking a sweat :rolleyes:

For once in my life, I may actually be able to keep to my resolutions lol :eek::D

[Deleted User] · 28/12/08 - 08:10

I'd like to be more assertive.

Save money so I can travel to kenya and help in an Aids orphanage for a month.

The two are kinda linked cos originally this year I wanted to go back packing to India or China but my Dad won't let me (I have been backpacking to Malaysia with World Challenge this summer) and he's not too keen on me going to Kenya (although he prefers the fact I'll be with an organisation, he wants me to do Camp America). My Mum is annoyed I'm letting him rule my life.

Lyricalis · 28/12/08 - 08:14

I wasn't going to make any resolutions, but I'm seriously considering making one about stopping watching the news as it's so damn depressing.

QuicheofDeath · 28/12/08 - 08:47

I have, but it's very specific to one person, and I intend to have it all done by September/October.

[Deleted User] · 28/12/08 - 11:23

My New Years Resolutions are:

Passing my Driving test after I failed for a second time last Tuesday.

Get a new job as the place I currently work (McDonalds) is possibly the worst place to work most of the staff are really horrible to me there

.

Possibly get my own place in Devon

.

System · 28/12/08 - 11:24

I'm going to spend a lot more of my money on drink.

[Deleted User] · 28/12/08 - 11:27

1) get a job and hold it down
2) pay off my debts
3) pass my driving test before my theory runs out in june
4) get my own flat

Use the running track we bought in the summer

It seemed like such a good idea at the time!!!!!

System · 28/12/08 - 20:17

To employ more healthy scepticism of claims made on forums.

I want to go to more gigs.

And my OH and I have a little competition as to who can get richer in our chosen industries quicker (she's an artist/illustrator, I am a music techie, and we're both in uni). I am beating her slightly atm, I'm promoting a gig in Feb, plus have a recording job coming up next month, which I'll get £100 for
