Then decided to go to badminton today to sweat off the alcohol, :rotfl:

Wowza, very hard core attitude to the hangover situation. I normally settle for a lot of diet coke, a lot of junk food and a lot of trash TV.....

Dont laugh I actually found the categories really helpful as it gave me some idea of where to focus my energy & also think about how much I could possible achieve from each section & what was really important to me & what really doesnt matter.

This is a brilliant idea! :T Off the top of my head here are some sections that I would probably find good -
CULTURAL - for those books, films etc that you always mean to see or those art galleries, museums that you mean to visit
FINISHING STUFF OFF - for all those half-finished scrapbooks, photo albums, craft projects etc etc

Maybe tonight I shall start typing up my list using those categories!

I've had a really frustrating day. My bike had a flat tyre. It is the back wheel which is a pain because of the gears. It took 4 goes to get it right, I find it super-hard to get the tyre / inner tube back onto the wheel without pinching the innertube and getting a new hole :mad::mad:

I then found it nearly impossible to get the gear mechanism back on, it has a tiny screw and this was sooo hard to get back in and eventually (with help of neighbour) came to conclusion that I need a new nut & bolt which is very slightly longer so that it can be fixed more easily.

Of course by the time I got to B&Q they were closing and then Halfords didn't have the right size :eek::mad:

I'm now going to watch True Blood on 4OD to get over the whole experience!!!!

That's brilliant:T:A You have inspired me to make a start, so much easier to think of them like that rather than my usual scatter gun approach.:rolleyes:

Make up, I like your catergories too:T am ging to write out my headings and have a think, I will try to get about 75 done as I like to leave a bit of space to add things during the year.

Good evening ladies

Rosa: did you see that episode of "The Real Hustle" where they set up a stall in a shopping centre to giftwrap people's presents?? They took the item out of the box, weighed it then replaced it with something worthless but equal in value. They even got paid by the customer to do this!! Just an idea ya know... ;P

Lula: I was wondering what happened to your Cornwall trip lol. I've just invited several hundred bikers down here for a post-xmas party but I'm fairly sure only half a dozen will be interested.

I'm getting slightly sick of people feeling sorry for me because I'm staying down here for Xmas... it was my choice !!!!!!! They keep saying things like "oh my friend is staying too, you could have xmas dinner together" and my reply is usually something like "the reason I'm not going home is so I DON'T have to have an awkward dinner with people I don't like"!

Dont you worry, when I finally head west, you will be one of the first to know .... might just give cornwall a chance to recover from your party before I make an entrance though :rotfl:

Quite, & that is why I am staying at home this year. Can do what I want, when I want & how I want. Eat & drink what I want & watch what I want on tv. There will be no speeches in my house this year :j

Makeup - am very impressed that you even attempted it, bikes & cars go to mechanics in my world ... maybe you should go to TDQs party

Sarah - 'scatter gun' pretty much sums up my approach to life in general :rolleyes:

Oh how I love Sunday evenings... nothing needs doing right this second but I've got a whole list for the week ahead... could get started on them and be all prepared but.... nah!

One bonus is that as the girls living upstairs have left for Xmas they have donated all their leftover food to me and Joe.. that means I'm munching on some lovely fresh dates and our fridge is full of veggies and other goodies I don't bother buying myself.

Oh hello everyone :santa2:

It's been a busy weekend on here, I had lots of catching up to do! My weekend has been filled with babysitting duties... Friday babysitting for my nephew and then saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon I looked after my friends 3 children, I was dreading it as they're aged 3,4&5 and I thought it would be a nightmare but they were absolutely fantastic :A I didn't have to raise my voice to them once and I still can't believe it! Still... I don't think I'd like to have them longer than 24hours, I'm not really a kiddy person, they get on my nerves a bit :rolleyes:

I've managed to get all DD's presents wrapped and at my Mam's :T it's the first time her her 11 years that I haven't wrapped them all on christmas eve.I've still got everyone elses to wrap that's what I'm gonna do today. I think I only need to buy for my Dad's gf now and as we're not going to them until NYE I think I'll wait for the sales

DD is playing a main part in her school play today and I feel so nervous for her. There's 6 family and friends going to watch her today, I hope she does well, I'm sure she will I am going tomorrow night, I can't wait!

The plans for next year are looking good people. I need to dig out my list for 2009, I'm pretty sure I didn't get many done but I can put them all on next years list. I did try the meditation...it just wasn't happening for me..I have a nervous giggle and ended up pretty much wetting myself laughing and had to walk out before I disturbed anyone else The tears were pouring down my face as I was trying to hold myself together. I think I can safely say I'll not be trying it again
My main plans for 2010 are to remain celibate but perv as much as humanly possible :drool: And to have lots of fun!! :beer: Pretty much the same as this year then, god I'm boring!

Did anyone watch Xfactor last night? I loved it, I cried through most of it! I couldn't decide who I wanted to win.... Joe gave me goosebumps everytime and Olly was just fantastic!! I cried again this morning watching Joe on some morning programme.

Hope everyone has a good Monday :A

Ladies, love your list ideas so will be doing mine on Wednesday when I'm off. Start my new job this week. I'm very excited. Finish up at my current job tomorrow. Yippee!!

Make up - I'm also impressed with your technical skills. I'm completely handless and tend to get my gay husband to do any bits round the flat.

TDQO - Sure you'll have a lovley day by yourself. I contemplated it this year as I'm working Xmas Eve and Boxing Day but get on really well with family so going to get trains down and up and just enjoy the time I do get with them. Hoping for a bit more time off over New Year though!

Bowski_1011

Good Luck with the new job Souk, are you in the same line of work? It's good you're excited, I'd be so nervous. You do seem very confident though, good on ya :beer:

I am also VERY impressed with Makeup.... I've thrown out 2 bikes this year due to flat tyres :eek:

So I text him and told that he had man boobs.

Welcome to the thread Clarabella - I love you already!

I had my own little moment of tw*tery this weekend, a friend passed on some gossip about an ex, the one I have spent the whole year getting over and finally though I had managed it. Anyway, turns out he went to his works Christmas do a couple of days ago, and had sex in a toilet with one of the girls he works with and caught an STI. The thing the worried me is that I got so angry about this, like, if he had been in front of me I would have spat on him. Anyway, it finally twigged what was upsetting me, what he did makes me hate myself, cause what does it say about me that I was stupid enough to be taken in by someone so disgusting? So, now I'm fine again, cause really, being naive isnt a reason to get all upset and hate yourself.

Sorry for the ramble, but after everything that has been going on for you all this weekend, I thought it was rather apt.

gwen80

Oh dear Carole Don't blame you for being upset! I think I'd feel the same. It's the disappointment when you realise somebody you thought the world of, isn't quite who you thought they were...

Men can be rubbish, but then so can women I guess...:(

Loving the categories for life improvements girls, I intend to make some changes next year involving most/all of them. Well hopefully I will...:o I intend to make myself thoroughly fabulous and meet a similarly fabulous man

Hope everybody's ok. I've calmed down a little since the rant on my diary in the early hours
