"Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old lang syne?"
SO, anyone thought about their New Year resolutions for 2010?
My usual resolution for the new year is to NOT make a resolution, therefore having a very good record of keeping my resolution!
But alas, I have turned 40 this year, and to my horror I find myself at 243 lbs. (SHOCK! DISMAY!) So, I think this year I will have to make a resolution, and it will be to loose weight.
Anybody care to join me? And even if you don't, would you like to share your resolution? Maybe if you post it that will help make it stick........?
If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!

I don't make resolutions either...much simpler that way! But yes, the scales shock is, alas, all too familiar. At 55 ( for another couple of weeks) getting shot of the stuff just gets harder, so get stuck in while you are young Michelle! My comfort this year is that at least I didn't put any more ON.
Kateuk makes things at http://www.etsy.com/shop/finkstuff and sometimes she does this too http://www54paintings.blogspot.com/ and also this http://finkstuff.weebly.com/

I don't make resolutions either but then again over the winter is a good time to be looking forward to the new growing season and we do have to decide what we are going to do with the piece of land we have, the garden out of the back of our apartment and now another piece of garden because our tenants have moved out (thank goodness this home is not in anothe country but just up the road). Decisions decisions

No resolutions for me either other than to try to eat more. Or at least try to work up an appetite.
I'll try that again!

ooh another person with fibro!
At least I am certain i have it but am yet undiagnosed!
I take painkillers every day - last winter was truly horrendous with days so painful i couldnt be touched. This winter is generally ok, but pain is currently increasing.
I would like to lose weight this next year and perhaps get to the bottom of the pain; the second being perhaps more important as my doc is increasingly reluctant to prescribe the pain relief
I do hope you bring yours under control

Hello, Catrina, and welcome to the forum. Thank you very much for joining in. Sorry to hear about your fybro (and Shelley too).
One thing I do know about is selling on eBay. It is fun, but it helps to know some basic presentation tricks (like tell a brief story about your item - personal interest works in magazines and works equally well on eBay).
Mutley - I am really curious about that: "a well paid job that i love doing" - I bet it involves motors or electric. Yes?
I know that New Year resolutions can be a graveyard for best intentions. But my #1 is to learn basic French. I felt such an idiot in a taxi in Paris last week when I could not explain to the driver where we wanted to go. Neither could my two colleagues and they had been taught French at school years ago. I was taught Spanish and Latin!
#2 = the common theme. Shed a few pounds (or even kilos) by St Patrick's Day, March 17.
That's all. Any more than that and I know I would be doomed to failure.

Thank you Danny for your welcome. I do like the site it seems really easy to use. excpt not sure why you have to do a math test before you can post? If you are unable to do easy math then it will stop them from joining the forum. (I know the math is easy but some people cant even add up easy)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to everyone.

Many Happy Returns to you and yours, Catrina.
Good point about the "maths test". I agree that once you have signed in, then no further tests should be required.
I will ask the forum software authors to change that if they can.
