Happy Birthday Sally & Pap :bdaycake:

Lovely to meet you both in the summer, two really great people :A, hopefully see you again in the New Year

:grouphug: for Fire

Becky - glad your Mum is ok, I remember one of my cats bit me about 6 years ago, my right thumb, back in the days before "chip & pin" when you still had to sign for everything, felt a right berk at the supermarket when I had to sign for my grocery shop, couldn't hold a pen & ended up grasping on to it like I was just learning to write :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Many Happy Returns Sally and Pap, hope you both have good days

My new years resolutions are

Continue on SW and stay within target
Sort out my relationship one way or the other and stop this living in limbo land!
Apply for and start access course in September
See my friends more often and keep in contact regularly no matter what!
and finally try my hardest to pay off remainder of my debt!

My resolutions are;

• get my debt under £20k
• get my weight under 10 stone

(Scary figures in my signature :eek:)

Katie - whilst you are feeling bad, just stop. I found that once I had decided to give up, that was it. I know it isn't that easy for everyone but you have to want to give up.

Sadly I have never been able to give up chocolate in the same way I gave up smoking though!!

Seriously I am so glad I did. It costs such a lot and you really do notice a difference in the smell of your clothes and hair (ooops reformed smoker rant there, sorry!)

Becky glad your Mum is on the mend.

Scaredy - how are you doing with your diet or have you put it on hold for Christmas?

My new years resolutions are to lose weight (mmm think I have had that one for the last 20 odd years!) and to lose my debt, which I am seriously hoping will be gone by this time next year.

Thanks Sally :A Tried to go for the achievable this year - instead of the ridiculous/bound to fail of past years :rolleyes:

Any tips you can give me sammy?

Has anyone else thought of there new yrs resolutions yet?


I think mine are as follows

• Stop smoking (ney yr/jan 14)
• Save, Save and Save for my house deposit aiming for 10k!
• Have some little adventures, weekends away, mini road trips with friends (especially now I know how with cheap hotels/flights)
• Start a part time degree!

hmmm I will keep thinking . .

stay away from other smokers
stay away from drink
I actually always kept a packet handy cos if I knew they were there then I didn't seem to crave them.

I am sure it must be easier now that pubs don't allow smoking. Even after I gave up I found going out for a drink with friends who smoked incredibly difficult. I often ended up having a cigarette but then felt awful the day after. When that happens remind yourself that you are a non smoker and carry on as if nothing happened.

It does get easier. I too am a reformed smoker and I found it really difficult to breathe at my in laws over christmas. They constantly moan they have no money to do anything and yet smoke 40 a day....

My mother in law would rather cough a lung up than give up smoking! Its quite distressing to see tbh

*sorry that turned into a bit of a rant*

I am trying hard not to make any new year resolutions.....they would just be the same as every other year and I obviously fail every year.....

so this year I am just going to take every new day as it comes....
