New Years Resolutions

[China Doll]

Morning (just) All,

Does anyone make new years resolutions?
Does anyone actually keep them?
Why do we celebrate new year anyway?

Cheers
China xx

I guess we celebrate New Year because it is the end of one era and the beginning of a new one, so psychologically we start afresh on the first day of a new calendar year and its an easy date to remember. Yes I make resolutions and I keep them pretty much. I keep within my limits though. Last year's resolutions were to iron everything as soon as it was dry and not let a pile mount up, and not to leave dishes soaking in the washing up bowl, and leave the kitchen tidy before I went to bed and to purchase a ticket for a long standing internet friend to fly over. I kept all resolutions apart from the ironing one that lasted until October. I'll make a resolution about the ironing again for the new year.

Hi China doll, i dont bother with new years resolutions because i never can keep them.
I would say we celebrate the new year so we have an excuse to get very very drunk!
Old year out, new one in, hoping for some reason it will be better than the one before it! Usually just the same thoug!h lol I must admit, when i have had a particularly bad year, i am always glad to se the back of it!

Hiya China,

I'm with Julie...i dont bother with New Year's Resolutions because i cant keep them either.
I celebrate New Year but i always find it an emotional time and i dont know why...maybe its because of the obscene amount of alcohol we consume!!! I think it is just another excuse to get plastered xxxx

I normally make them, but give up in the first 2 weeks or so of the year, although last year I pledged to read a book a month and I have kept to it!

This coming year tho, I am going to resign from my awful job and do something that will engage my brain and make my 9-5 day seem more worth while. Even thinking about it makes me feel positive!

No
No
Who knows?


Hey, got any stars?



Tuesday is the new Friday

[China Doll]

But only cause Tuesday is the new Friday :0(

[cascarelli]

Hurray......hurray



dances round the room



I shall wear them proudly over the Christmas holidays.
Have a hob nob

[China Doll]

Thanks dear. Here, have a bowl of sugar puffs.

[cascarelli]

Wow, thanks, they look tasty....yum yum


Do you want to try one? I think you might like them.

[China Doll]

Nah, I'll just watch you eat them if that's ok. Take your time.

[cascarelli]

Don't just watch, join in...............


slurp, slurp. Wipe my chin for me dear, thanks

[China Doll]

Nah.... you're alright. I'll stick with me hob nobs.

But I'll wipe your chin for you. Old dears like yourself are very messy!

[cascarelli]

Thanks love.


Oh, looks like you're dribbling yourself......tissue?


Hey, I've got soot all round my mouth now

[China Doll]

Soot?! You're actually barking do you know that?? Do they have a map to where you're from?!

Sugar puffs should be covered in honey. Accept no other subsitute. Not even soot.

[cascarelli]

woof woof





Hey, it's nearly Christmas! Are you going to be hanging your stockings up on Christmas Eve? Best wash them first

[China Doll]

Why? Do they have soot on too?

If I hung tights then I'd have two legs to fill with presents. Makes more sense to me.

[cascarelli]

Come on, come on......there's two legs to stockings too - or do you only wear one? Do keep up!

[China Doll]

Yeah but it'd be rude to leave two stockings out...

[cascarelli]

But each leg deserves a present doesn't it?

[China Doll]

Well when you put it like that I see your point... They'd better be big presents too... and shiny...
