Me and Mr Rose have half a job between us and that is my job.

However, due to this forum Mr Rose is now getting a few good quality odd jobs so that things are ticking along a little.

And I am training for another part time career in May.

Soooo I will try not get the January blues because at least we don't have a mortgage and there are a lot of people worse off.

Still, bloody cold though!

And there was me thinking one of your '09 resolutions was to not just SAY you were coming to a drinks quids...


One of my 08 resolutions was to not get quite so gut-churningly upset, just because of what 11 fellas in red and white do on a football pitch. Fortunately for me I largely managed that, because those fellas in red and white went on to be even more dissapointing this year. But the main reason to not get so gut-churningly upset was, quite apart from my own sanity, it didn't seem fair to inflict it on Lady Mac.


So there it is. "Not getting upset makes other people happy" shocker.

I quite like that "clean sheet of paper" feeling that comes with the new year, always seems full of promise.


And I didn't go quite so loopy on presents and in the sales that I am going to get that "broke till pay day feeling" that normally makes January drag.


If I get down it's more usually February that does it to me - combination of the reminder of singledom that is valentines day - no matter how crap and commericialized it is, still feels worse being single than not. Plus it's another month of long nights and coldness on top of November, December, January etc.


But in addition to my week of skiing in Jan, I have a long weekend of skiing at the start of Feb to look forward to, and a day course in perfumery at the end of the month which I have wanted to do for many years, plus other things planned, so I am actually quite looking forward to it this year :-).

Afraid I don't really subscribe to all that stuff... the calendar always seems pretty arbitrary to me. There's no good reason tomorrow should be the first day of the year rather than any other.

Yep, I usually do a week as well as a long weekend too! Need to get in as much skiing as possible, otherwise I'm desperate to go again by May or June.

Oh, I know it's quite arbitary. But since it makes me happy to think of it that way I'm not planning on stopping!

January blues? Are you fecking mad? I'm always glad that Christmas is over and we can all get back to normal (whatever that is) and step into a new year with a positive attitude. But, then I guess that's just me being an eternal optimist. Happy New Year everyone.

I can't wait for January! Ever the optimist, I think each year is going to be marvellous and indeed that each year I shall grow a tad more fabulous.


I usually run out of steam in June but pick up again in October for my birthday which is pretty good going I reckon...


Have a great 2009 everyone!

Men think about the fact that you beat out about five hundred MILLION other sperm-racers to get to the egg first.


So as we are sooooo lucky to be here then lets make the most of it>:D<


Happy and Healthy New Year To One And All:)-D

Happy New Year, everyone!


Jah and Belle - bless you for being the charming glass-half-full people that you are. Good on you.


Best of luck to all the people who know they have Big Things coming in 2009 (buggie, Keef....) and also to those of us for whom any Big Things will be a surprise...


Tony, don't be a twerp, it isn't only men who are only here because their particular sperm hit home one day. (hits upside the head, but in a friendly, ringing-in-the-new-year kind of way).


Look forward to Quids' new stance promoting the great business opportunities in ED that 2009 will bring.. :-)


May we all grow a little in 2009, and not just in our waistlines.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
