I had some last year, and somehow they all came true. not in the best possible ways but it all worked out somehow.
this year.
- save more money (or at least a bit)
- do less stuff but more stuff I like.
- find myself a girl me and my mum both like... (Not Possible)
- maybe save that one for last and have some fun first.
- finaly see thos DVD's I got
- finaly listen to some of those Bootleggs.
- .....
- Be Happy

1. Health
2. Wealth
3. Happiness

Note: I do appreciate that point 2 doesn't necessarily guarantee point 3 but I would like to be given the opportunity to find out for myself.

As my father always says:

Money may not bring you happiness. But at least you can be miserable in comfort.

This should really be about love and harmony, appreciating what you have and building and nurturing friendships.

f**k that. Tried it, and 2004 was the worst year of my life.

So instead, 2005 is going to be about looking out for number one. f**k everyone else.

One of your resolutions is to work more ?

I believe Rian is self-employed and runs his own business ...

Yes I am, and 2004 was not a good year for my business.

So I have to work more

Makes sense now. I hope 2005 is suitably productive then

Steady chaps. We're coming perilously close to a back-slapping male bonding type moment here ...

- Shave on more occasions than those where I'm actually out to impress a young lady.
- Do some regular exercise (back to the 5-a-side pitch)
- Place more winning bets, and fewer losing ones
- Either improve my attitude towards my current job, or bail out and find a new one
- Buy a new car before I need to re-MOT this wreck
- Actually _do_ at least one of the things I want to do about my flat, instead of merely thinking about it and doing half a job
- Stop entering into pointless on-line arguments about football
- Never date another West Ham fan (see above)
- Go to more gigs, shows etc
- Travel along the Trans-Mongolian railway to Beijing

I'd say one will start brightly and fade by the end of next week, number two will work out OK as the weather gets warmer.

Number three is a bit tricky, but we can only hope, number four is a frying pan/fire conundrum.

The car and flat probably will happen eventually, I just need to get off my arse and do it. Can never seem to give up on football, but the Hammerette really is history in spite of the obvious convenience factor.

The holiday is a must. I've been talking about it for years and I will do it before I'm 30. That has to be this summer, cause I'm not going to Siberia next January!

Can we bring this back in 12 month's time and see how we all got along?

Screw that. I'm going Down To The Wire, and if I have to queue, I might unleash my World Domination weapon early. It'll cause everyone to perish prematurely.

I thought it was compulsory to be in that state

1. Health Club 4 times a week
2. Step away from my desk at work and go for a walk, every day.
3. Meditate daily.
4. Continue to realize, there is more to life than a message board (sorry QB) because from what I've seen, too many people live their lives via message boards, and it's ALL they ever DO!
5. Cherish my true friends, who know that however long we go without contact, we are always there for each other.
6. Love my husband like there is no tomorrow.

"...like there is no Andy" you mean?
