merledogs Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I won't call them New Years Resolutions because we all know those get broken within the first week of the new year So let's say what we all hope to achieve in 2011 I hope to: Finish my purchasing degree (MCIPS). I have three exams left to take, and am waiting on the result of one I sat in November (result is out 3rd Feb). Hopefully my last exam will be in May, but if I fail any, then I can do them in July or November, so one way or another I WILL finish my exams this year. Lose weight by eating more healthily and eating less - I started this process already in October and have lost quite a bit of weight, but I have stuffed my face over Christmas so have undoubtedly put some back on, but come Tuesday I will be back on the wagon. Get at least two more rooms decorated - since I've been doing my MCIPS, and with the black hole that engulfed me for far too long (mostly gone now), I lost my motivation to do anything DIY related around the house, so I have lots more to do. I want to decorate my bedroom and either the back bedroom or the front room by Christmas next year. What do you plan to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ailsas mum Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I need to shift a ton of weight for my youngest daughters wedding in the summer, it would be nice to get a smaller house so we can cut our bills at least in half and be mortgage free but that aint going to happen.

Spins4me Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I need to have a think too. There's a part of my life that need sorting out but it would mean such a major upheaval that I might just leave it as it is - change is just too scarey.

sanrossscot Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I would like to shift a lot of my weight (again) so I can start getting fitter and run faster for Glen in agility. Going back to being a three dog household - hopefully. Winning the lottery (well, one can dream ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 We're moving to France late Jan/early Feb so I guess my main goal is to learn to speak French I have found out where the local rescues are so want my French to be good enough to volunteer and eventually foster/adopt more dogs as I'll have more time and space. Also need to detox and lose weight but as I won't be working I'll have no money for wine so hopefully that will be achievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I want to lose some weight and become fitter and more supple so that I am not so much like a blob of jelly on the horse at riding lessons. Hopefully taking up pilates in the New Year. Also there is a small void left in our house that needs filling, so a new pooch would be nice!

JulesB Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I'm with you there Barbara, I know we are supposed to embrace change but secretly, I'm a bit scared of it. I *will* go back to pilates this year, I am as stiff as a stick. And I would so like to be more organised and therefore have more free time, but I say that every year and nothing changes. To be fair though, I don't change the way I do anything so it won't, will it We've been talking about getting another dog but I don't know if that will actually happen. Losing Tess was awful and I'm too scared of giving my heart to another. Edited January 1, 2011 by JulesB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khanu Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Finish my degree Organise my time so I can do the above and get a reasonable mark.

Jacobean Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I hope to find a new job to see me through until I can hopefully build a business up. I'm launching a business next week which will be a slowly slowly affair and I'm not expecting it to grow much ever. But will be something to run alongside hopefully book-keeping and dog behaviour type stuff. I can't see much happening in 2011 as it's early stages. At least I'm doing something about my situation so it's making me feel better. I think scary is good if you have something to fall back on if it doesn't work out.

Mags Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 In 2010, I achieved two major accomplishments: I taught myself to swim and I stopped smoking :biggrin: In 2011, I am going to try to overcome my fear of dentists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spins4me Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have a couple of things one is to achieve a 100% recall with Como - he's on the way but if something more interesting is around he "c***'s a deaf 'un" and disappears. The other is the scary life-changing one. I'm not leading the life I want to lead in terms of lifestyle and location. The change I want is big and scarey and would affect my family and friends quite a lot so it needs a lot of thought and planning etc. It's still in the where shall I go? what should I do? should I? shouldn't I? stage. I haven't discussed it with anyone yet so it's all staying in my head for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
