-accept overtime when my boss offers it, rather than sleeping in long (evening shift means i go in early for my overtime)
-save money ahead of time for rego/insurance/servicing rather than blowing out the credit card every time -buy a PVR, or at least a bloody vcr before the footy season...i have no foxtel, so saturday & monday games i miss...and due to working friday nights i miss every friday game - let the hair &/or beard keep growing...always wanted to get both/either nice & long, but grooming got in the way for one reason or another |

My theory work's like this : 1 marige = my new TS50 Get Fast cars/projects shed time and broken bits wirten into the wedding vows. Never ever EVER pay the credit car off (keep limiet low) a little bit of interest V constant trips to the shops you see what will cost you more. Keep talking about the next car/motor/tune/manifold/mags ect so when ever you here "we need ......." you reply with "but we don't have the money becuse ....." And my last tip occasunaly fold and give in on the small afordable bits a pices she wants so that when the big dollar F&*K off items come along on the wish list you can fall back on "but we(you) already got ..... last month"

Seriously though. Next year I want to be a little more fitter than I am now, not that I have any weight to lose, just need to spend some more time training. That's all I can think of for now. |

I actually meant it when I said my NY Resolution was 1920x1080.
That is, to sit around home, watching more Blu Ray movies and (god forbid) TV, in a bit to keep myself from going out cruising and spending money on fuel every night of the week. Might also keep me from being less tired when I wake up in the morning! Also, the usual resolutions that I always make & break. See how I go this time around hey! Plus, MORE DALEKS. There can never be too much of Davros' great creation. Long live the superior beings! Quote:

1) Stay healthy, and continue to hit the weights hard! Also need to run more to improve my squash game...
2) Enjoy the company of friends and family 3) Save more money so I can finally go overseas. I haven't been overseas since I was 4 years old, and now I'm 25!! 4) Bang as many girls from the ages of 18-40 5) Save my cash for a house later in the year! 3 and 5 kind of contradict themselves, but I can achieve these goals if I'm disciplined enough. Happy new year to all on AFF!!! |

Keep this job for 12 months.
2 year plan of being fitter at 50 than I was at 40 ,which I was fitter than I was at 30 ,so I am looking to turn the clock back 20 years. But I was fitter at twenty than I was at thirty so maybe I will be as fit at 50 as I was when I was twenty ... Simple really ..
