New year's resolutions?

[caro7]

I've got as far as putting some weights in my Amazon basket for an as yet unspecified future purchase date. Any more inspiring ones than that? ;)

[DulwichFox]

I made a New Years Resolution 30+ years ago never to make any more N.Y. Resolutions.

.. and I have kept to it faithfully.

[Jules-and-Boo]

I firmly resolve to do nothing complicated or difficult in the new year, but I only say that and, having said it realise I don't mean it

[Louisa]

I will aim to stop posting on this forum at ridiculous hours of the night, whilst partially inebriated.

Is this thread by any chance a soft lead in to some marketing?

[caro7]

Not really, Robert Poste's Child - I think I can probably guess how that would go down. My query wasn't entirely unrelated to my profession however, in that people occasionally come with some pretty unusual ones - so I thought I'd see if anyone in the group could top them. Not that I can tell you what they are, mind...client confidentiality and all that.

So you resolve to post whilst totally inebriated?

Hooray!!!

[siousxiesue]

For the last few years I've not committed to set resolutions but have resolved to try 2 new things per month.

As tame as trying a new coffee shop (in a quiet month) to doing an abseil or visiting a landmark I don't know (Yorkshire sculpture Park) and everything in between, works for me.

I really like that approach too siousxiesue - keeps things varied throughout the year, with a 'bite size' advantage. Bungee jump next? ;)

Now if we had an app, posting from the pub at all hours would be easier :)

Who's your plastic surgeon KidK ? Your post made me laugh my head off, ty x.

[pato]

should this thread in the ED BUSINESS section??

[caro7]

Hi pato, please see my response to Robert Poste's Child above.

[pato]

...still...

something will be if i put an ad saying : anyone drinking champagne for nye?...that will be fine and fun but different if I put a link to my champagne shop on line..

I m sure you understand

[caro7]

Not sure what the problem is tbh besides the link in my sig, which is on all my posts - pretty much every other self-employed person I know does the same. I've used the business section before and will do so again for any businessy posts, but as I've not tried to sell anyone anything here, people can continue to engage with the post in the light-hearted spirit in which it was intended. Hope that clarifies matters (again) :)

Start smoking. And drinking . eat loads of fry ups. Avoid any form of exercise .

I'm not sure I like the way they're being marked. Is this like Britain's Got Talent for ED Resolutions?

Not telling you mine as I feel like I'm involved in some odd advertising too.

Well, what can I say - I'm interested in people and their motivations and it's as simple as that really...you can choose to believe me or not :)

Back to the topic, good article in the Graun today: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/dec/29/anyone-can-change-any-habit-science-keeping-2018-resolutions
