I'm going to pull that woman's abscessed tooth, but first I gotta take care of that bear.

I will not find a new way to be self-destructive this year.

My New Year starts on Wednesday 12 January.
Just because I've decreed it will do so. After all, no point having resolutions I will break when with Limey and DanaC.

But this will be the year I lose weight.
And I'm doing it for MacMillan Cancer Relief.
I'll be advertising it at school (MacMillan is our chosen charity this year), having a weigh-in in the staffroom every week, and a public chart of my weight/ loss.

This time next year my little chickees, I'll be at least 70lbs lighter (5 stone).
And if anyone wants to have a little wager on that, I promise that the money will go onto the sponsorship forms I have already prepared.

I don't do resolutions. I don't even resolve not to make resolutions.

Where is the thread listing everyone's resolutions from last year and how you did?

Simply, I hit all my targets save one and that is almost done!

Last year's thread.
I think I failed every single one.

I have not failed a resolution since the mid 80s when I resolved never to make another new years resolution.

I am a winner!

SG, good luck with your resolutions. Keep us posted on your progress so we can shout encouragement from the sidelines.

New Year has started today as today is the day that I moved countries and the first four and a bit days of 2011 felt like an extension of 2010. I've got a 1 year contract o/s so who knows where 2012 will find me (most likely back in Oz).

I'm in Singapore for a couple of days at the moment, so that's sort of like being in limbo. I'll be arriving in Indonesia on Friday and starting work Saturday. 2010 was spectacularly shit. 2011 has to be better. Resolutions for 2011 will be articulated in the next 24 hours (Resolution No. 1).
