Now xmas is over have you made any new years resolutions?
My resolution for 2017 is that Im going to be the dog and not the hydrant!

Well I'm thinking about making some new resolutions the important thing is carrying them out. and I haven't been good at that over the last few years.

I'm not a walker but need the exercise of even a small 10 minutes walk. I get so out of breath.

Anyone else need exercise?

Pick my friends like I pick my garden roses, carefully.

Keep sending myself flowers, did it this year and it was satisfying and cheering.

No instant buys online. Into the basket for a day to think if I really need it before purchasing.

Not be as nice. Sometimes I think I am too nice and people take advantage so need to pull that back a little.

I've found nights out on at the club where Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights was made, bingo and quiz nights so I'm off out to that one. A couple of hours out every now and then is definitely on the prescription.

I like the hydrant simile (?). No one should be the hydrant.

I never make any because I would never keep them.

As I have said before, I don't make resolutions - how can you improve on perfection grin

None, they are an invitation to failure.

I don't mean being too nice to people on here, I mean in RL. I have felt very guilty the last couple of days because I have missed the postlady who has had parcels for me. But I have needed my rest. So I have to think of myself more and others a little less, I am sure she has survived me not being around for two days, I could be on holiday for all she knows. smile

I agree, Anya - what a horrible resolution...confused

Feel sick with the visuals.

Anya Fri 30-Dec-16 18:22:34

And the smell!

Anya Fri 30-Dec-16 18:22:53

I'm with ruby I was just sitting here before I read this thread thinking 'you know what Katy, you're too nice'. I rarely say no to anyone or anything even though sometimes I really don't want to do what is being asked of me. I put myself out for a lot of people. Can't think of many who would do the same for me. Oh and I'm going to exercise more and eat less smile
