    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages "The road to good intentions..."

    Disadvantages Disadvantages "...is paved with hell." (Ben Reich)

    Through much-rubbed eyes and much-yawned yawns I’m conscious that a new day dawns; Just give my brain a chance to clear And I’ll remember it’s New Year. If memory fails to deceive We welcomed it on yester eve And drank enough to stay awake For Auld Lang Syne’s and custom’s sake Till midnight’s chimes marked the transition Of dates, thus granting us permission To slink away and seek our beds, A respite for post-festive heads. Now, after an indulgent night Some people tend to feel contrite, But in contrition danger lurks: What often happens in such circs Is that they fall into a trap And let ... more

    Advantages Advantages More Enjoyment!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Suits me Sir!!!

    HURRAH for 2006! A new year and a new start At this time of year I usually make my New Year resolutions and they usually last for about 1 day. Shame, Shame, Shame on me! This year I thought I would share them with you… Resolution Number 1 ************************ DIETING I am sick of dieting so I am not going to do it anymore. I am going to gorge myself on chocolate, fried foods, pasta with heavy cream laden sauces, potatoes (every way there is to cook them), Cream Cakes, cream on Cream Cakes and cream in sauces… and cream on anything I can put cream on…topped with chocolate…oh, and ... more

    5 Stars Promises, Promises! (UPDATE) 31/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Making resolutions to achieve the things I want.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I have to try hard to keep them!

    Yet again New Years eve has descended upon us at a rather alarming rate and yet again my thoughts turn to New Years Resolutions. Over the years I have come to realise that resolutions are easy to make but hard to keep so this year I'm determined to keep them! My usual pattern is to make several promises to myself that I do not write down, instead committing them to memory. Generally by 6th of January they have been broken and by the end of January all have been forgotten. This year I have decided to do things a little differently, a friend of mine (who is extremely organised!) advised me to ... more

    5 Stars What Year Is It? 02/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages learnt how to speel revolutions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no I didn't

    Strangely I haven't got a New Year hangover today, unless it's going to kick in later but as it's nearly bedtime it doesn't look likely. Hope everyone had a good one too. I can remember most of it which is surprising considering what I drank. Its awful waking up the next day thinking 'OMG, what have I been up to!!!' while being glowered at by my other half. This year I broke with the tradition of the past few years (being asleep at midnight) and invited myself and my family to my parents' house. I must be getting old (just realised I'll be the dreaded four oh next year, sob, sob) but I really ... more

    4 Stars Are your New Year resolutions SMART? 01/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages This may require effort!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Having goals can keep your spirit alive!

    Making resolutions is such a fabulous idea. This time of year can be for many people the only time they might stop and consider what it is they have been doing. They think for perhaps a few fleeting moments about how well what they are doing matches up with what they want to be doing. Even those who spend very little time reflecting consider a resolution for the new year. It's a very healthy thing to do, and the most important thing to do is not to punish yourself if you don't achieve them. A good approach is to choose something that you have some chance of achieving. I hate talking shop but ... more

    3 Stars A to Z of resolutions 02/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's not 2007 anymore!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I didn't do very well.....

    Last year I decided to hedge my bets and do an A-Z of resolutions on Ciao - the thinking being that I'd at least manage to keep some of them. So, a year later it's time to see how I did. In order to get an overall idea of how I did, I will give myself 1 point where I have achieved my aim, deduct 1 point where I clearly haven't, and nothing for those where I neither have nor haven't! A = A in A level Psychology - I'm currently doing an A level Psychology via distance learning (i.e. I read the text book and meet with a tutor sporadically and say "everything's fine!", and turn up to the exams) ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages read op

    I decided for once to use the ciao archive facility today as I haven’t really used it before and I find it’s easier to look up reviews from people if your alerts aren’t working. While browsing through ones written yesterday I came across one by ‘thebattler’ called ‘Are your new years resolutions SMART?’ Now this opinion inspired me to write my own version and to actually think about what I’m setting as my resolutions. Too many people make up resolutions that they cannot keep and I feel new years resolutions are now known to be broken before the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Healthier, Fitter, Sexier, Happier

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Love chocolate!

    I can't remember what my new years resolutions were last year, which means I obviously didn't stick to them, I have quite a few this year which I need to try and stick to . .wish me luck! 1) ***EAT HEALTHILY*** I don't tend to eat proper meals and I snack a lot of chocolate and crisps and other rubbish which is unnecessary. I eat a sandwich at work, but I don't tend to have a meal when I get home (bare in mine this is probably about 4 hours since I last ate). I only tend to have breakfast and my last meal at 3pm, so I need to eat better and healthily, which means cut down on chocolate (my ... more

    WHY AM I DOING THIS!? Every year on new years eve I plan some new years resolutions but by the following morning i never remember what they were and therefore probably break them all within the first few hours of the day! So im now going to plan my new year resolutions in advance so that i can really think about them and actually remember what they are!! So here they go.... Number One - PASS MY DRIVING TEST! I have had about 7 hours of driving lessons now but i seem to be a naturally bad driver! I have had near misses with a hotel, a bus, a dustcart and a few pedestrians! so for the new year i ... more

    5 Stars False Hopes?? 02/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Writing them down and planning is the only way I will achieve these!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I'll be upset with myself if I get to April and haven't moved forward with any.

    I wonder why I feel the need to write this, but I normally write my "Year in View", and I haven't seen the category added for 2005 (and I was clearly lacking in enough foresight to add it myself!). The Year in View thing gives me closure for another year, to sum up what got done and what didn't. Thankfully the fact I haven't written it means I can ignore the fact that 2005 New Year's resolutions did not come to fruition - AGAIN! However, I have a renewed determination for them this year, and so this ramble will seal them in ink, as it were, even if the ink is of a virtual nature.. But if we ... more
