im giving up smoking, drinking, gambling, and telling people to feck off and do it themselves when they want a favour done which leaves me out of pocket.

i gave up sex 2 years ago and have done well there  :(

im givin up giving up :)

I never bother with new years resolutions... It's just disappointing when you fail ::) ::) ::)

I am giving up smoking in the new year though, although not on the 1st :y :y

I intend to start drinking. :) :) :)

Got to lose 8 kilos first, though. :(

1) Jan - French Alps Snowboarding
2) March - Canada Snowboarding
3) June - Isle of Man TT
4) July - Landgraaf - Holland
5) September - Japan

i enjoy smoking, but have giving up trying not to stop.have started on roll ups in the last 2 weeks that make me feel sick smoking but has helped me cut down a lot,and has saved me a few quid too. im only smoking about 15 a day now.  :)

I am giving up working so hard. I am the highest achiever in my team, yet the lowest paid. Had a promotion reneged a while back and now it seems I am to be shat upon from a great height again, which is going to cost me £7k a year !!!!

P*ssed off doesn't do how I feel justice !!!!

So -- my resolution is to do the barest minimum I can without being sacked.

I'll make the same 2 I do every year, and invariably break within 6 months...

1) Try to be more tolerant of stupid and/or ignorant twats
2) Try not to lump the lazy prick in the office, an individual I despise with a passion.

I've got another.......

I'll try to stop taking the pi$$ so much and keep my post count ::) ::) ::)

On second thoughts..... Can't see that lasting ::) ::) ;D ;D

I'm going to stop being a soft touch and being over-nice to people.

I wont try anything ;D

but I like Tunnies plans ;D

Don't bother now, never kept to one for more than a couple of days  ;D ;D

Leave ericsson and find a job elsewhere

1. stop posting meaningless bollox on tinternet (cant wait for the replies to that one) ::) ;D
2.Buy a nice LPG car.
3.Find a way of shutting Loo- Knee up. (got to aim high sometimes) ;) ;D
4.try to be nice to Optimist and Tunnie. (aiming even higher now.) ;D ;D
5.Make some money. (just being ridiculous now) :o ::)

The only one i have ever kept is stopping smoking......

Reality is that I have little choice unless I want to work abroad (they have asked me to stay on) as they are shutting the UK R&D site which was only officialy opened 3 months ago at a cost of 50million to the uk tax payer!

Still, a nice big fat redundancy package awaits

The only one I ever kept is I gave up sugar in my coffee about 5 years ago :y

I gave up smoking and alcohol, but it was feck all to do with new year.

It was because I was an alcoholic with lung cancer.

This New Year I will be giving up hope   ;D

No, only kidding that's for Lent.

Just hope, while I still can, that next years better.

I'am going to take this fleeting opportunity.....to tell Albitz....that as usual......... he is talking total 'dangle berries' ;D ;D ;D....and  has absolutely no chance of sticking to resolutions one and four ;D ;D....Happy Christmas Albitz....you know you love me really... ;D ;D.....and would miss me if I was not around... :) :) :) ;) ;)

It was meant to be to complete an NVQ 2 in childcare! But possibly not if its going to cost over £650! ::)
It would have been free but the back to work funding wasn't regulated properly and was wasted, the pot which was full in sept is now empty!
We have the choice to self fund completely £1500 or start paying in installments up to the value of £650 in the hope that more funding becomes available in april!!! :(
No wonder I couldn't get on the september intake!!! >:(
Apparently people enrol to show the job centre that they are doing something, then drop out as its too much like hard work, costing someone else their funding!!! Grrrrrr!!! >:( >:( >:(
