    Aw bless, but what you're planning is too generous Natty. You don't have to spend ALL your money on us. Just most of it :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Perfect for you then Lula - you can buy it - regret it and then sell it for a profit in 3 months, buying 2 others to replace it and then repeating the cycle :rotfl:

    I'm not so sure that the re-sale market is up to much for snow man bags.....

    Do share.... I need some inspiration.

    Actually, I don't suppose I do, I just want to be nosy.

    Mine will involve getting back to my classes, swimming and not spending so much money. Easy said, slightly more challenging in practise.

    I am only making one resolution, to meal plan more. It is the one thing that makes my life easier.

    Okay, mine is to undertake, or deliver, one random act of kindness EVERY SINGLE DAY.
    Now, this could be as simple as; giving up a parking space for someone else, or leaving a pound coin in a supermarket trolley. As the 'acts' are random, who know what they will be.

    That's my resolution:D

    We had a speaker once at a managers day, and he talked a lot about taking every opportunity to show kindness and be helpful. He called it MOG or MOW (can't remember which) moment of glory /wonder ...
    Anyway despite forgetting acronym its about grabbing that opportunity to help, ie you see someone on corridor looking lost and you ask them if they need help. I'd like to think I do that anyway, which is IMO key when dressed in the uniform I wear as its about keeping the publics positive perception of my role.

    Did help a rather drunken looking man pick up the change he dropped on Thursday..
    Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016
    Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!
    2014 GOAL HIT 5 Stone! 2016 GOAL to be a MF marathon runner.

    The real question is though, did you use it to MOP, or just wildly blow it all?

    No, I was kind and gave it back to him, so he probably blew it on another beer!:beer:

    Whereas if I had of kept it, then yes, it would have gone on my MOP :A


    MY NY res is going to be around my weight and eating properly so a bit of as batch cooking and less wine.

    Me too :o

    Not as altruistic as Natty - though my new svelte figure will obviously give pleasure to many as I sashay past :rotfl:
