  • Very well, thanks.

    Seen 51 films I've never seen before out of my 150 target already. Extrapolated to a whole year (oh yes) that'll mean I end up watching 236 films I've never seen before this year. Shaboom.

      • We don't extrapolate enough in audit these days

        More's the pity.

        • I hope you have taken a random sample of those 51

          & checked that they were really new to you.

          Kitchmo @Steved | 21 Mar '14, 13:53 | X

    I didn't make specific targets but resolved to be a bit more decisive. Ummm, that's going really well.

  • I don't like resolutions. Made a few anyway.

    I gave up the gym because I didn't want to conform to a body image society set up for me / wasn't convinced it was making me actually healthier. Miss it a bit especially since I used to go with a mate but ah well. That's going good I suppose.

    My other one was cutting down on drink and other bad stuff, that's gone awfully and now probably worse than before New Years.

    And I did start writing more, but slackened off. So about 1.5 out of 3. Must do better.

    Wanted to get our a song a month - no matter what quality. So far I've done two. So a tiny bit behind.

    • I swear to god, on the last day of your actual job in what, May?

      I am going to come down SARF to your office and cover it in bunting and do some kind of victory dance. And then hopefully you'll shut up about it.

      :'D (only kidding, it's a massive life change potentially- you should talk it through with people when you need to.)

      • It work East

        Not south. Do't go south of the river.

        I know I'm banging on about it. I'm being post-modern and ironic and mocking my own incessant jabbering - I'm annoying myself so other people must be fucking sick of it.

        Bunting in May sounds nice though.

  • Don't drink Coke - HALF-TICK

    Still drink the stuff from dispensers at McDonalds or Subway. But have cut out the can (or two) I was having every day at work. No can or bottle of Coke since 2013, so I count it a success.

    TVDenimChap | 21 Mar '14, 11:10 | X
    • coke is a good drink tho

      well done for cutting done

      chris-budget @TVDenimChap | 21 Mar '14, 11:11 | X
      • Thanks muchly!

        Had just got to a point where I wasn't even enjoying it, and I just felt a need to drink it. Followed immediately by a headache and my teeth feeling rotten.

  • I didn't have any real goals apart from reading more

    with the general goal of 2 books a month which I am doing

  • was trying to run 1000 miles this year

    did 3 miles the first 6 weeks, gone a bit silly & got about 150 in since then, still behind but can probably catch up in the next month or two and then scale it back a bit. my feet hurt tbh.

    other vaguer change/happiness goals going at a c+

    codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 11:21 | X
    • well done cpf!

      make sure you don't injure yourself tho by over exerting yourself

      chris-budget @codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 11:27 | X
      • cheers budgie

        i'm always vigilant. bought an icepack.

        codpieceface @chris-budget | 21 Mar '14, 11:28 | X
    • woah

      1000 miles in a year would be a lot. I did 330 miles last year. anticipate doing about 500 this year. can't imagine fitting more in that that. good effort - good luck!

      GoatmeatMF @codpieceface | 21 Mar '14, 13:30 | X
      • thanks mang, i have too much time on my hands

        did about 500 last year but had 3 months or so off over the year cause my back was all wank. injuries permitting it's doable, think it's up/down to about 23 miles a week average now. want to get to 18 a week cos then i can do it in 3 runs and coast a bit over summer.

        codpieceface @GoatmeatMF | 21 Mar '14, 14:11 | X
  • didn't really make a resolution as I think there stupid

    but I did feel like I should be getting (even) more out of my study as I realised that the amount of time I have left as a student is getting smaller and smaller.
    So, less social life, following and doing the work for courses I don't have to follow, doing extra readings, being on time with my assignments? TICK

    RobbeVP | 21 Mar '14, 11:28 | X
    • well done robbeVP

      i hope the extra work all pays off

  • I didn't make any resolutions

    but I have been making music regularly, exercising regularly - beating personal bests, paintign lots of orcs, upping my baking game, being assertive at work - so that's all something. I'm not idling.

    GoatmeatMF | 21 Mar '14, 12:12 | X

      you are a running inspiration - looking forward to yr gig.

      or just firm? Come work in the city, it's going to be shit.

  • I haven't even managed lent

    Mattshaped_ | 21 Mar '14, 14:22 | X
  • Reading loads more - success

    Moving house to be nearer to work - trains in motion.
    Drinking less / none - not going so good. Still, 9 months left in the year!
