2018 New Years Resolutions

Stop wasting money.
I don't really buy stuff anymore really anyway, like I don't buy videogames unless they are super mega reduced now. I don't buy beer very often anymore, whisky hardly ever.

But more on evenings when the missus doesn't know what to cook, I'll pop to the shop and buy a dinner. All silly little bits of money that don't need to be spent.

If I could reign that in this year, I'll be happy.

And, of course, as always: Have a threesome with two hot girls.

Be tidier
Be more sociable
Be more adventurous
Do a proper weekly food shop/plan meals better
Ban mobiles from the living room (unless necessary; this is more of a 'ban idle phone scrolling' thing)
Make another baby (or at least one of us to enjoy trying)

All fairly realistic. Al things we don't do much of at the minute...

“Let’s be more adventurous this year!”
“How?”
“Dunno, tidy up a bit and make a weekly meal plan?”
“Awesome”

You cheeky banana split I'll do you in.

Nah, I'm sure you know what it's like: we've let weekend life become dominated by stuff like nap times, etc, and have failed to get out as much as we should. We're aiming for more day trips, etc, this year.

Get chartered status at work
Get the house finished
Drink more whiskey
Spend more time outside
Hire a cleaner

None.

My life is just trying to feed a kid while he shouts “NO!” at me, while Moana plays in the background (for the millionth time).

Living the dream.

This intrigues me. I certainly wouldn't be averse to it.

We'd need one who isn't scared of big, aggressively affectionate dogs, which may be a barrier.

Fan of the Irish variety are you?

I wanted to make a joke about that being no way to talk about your wife, but I decided not to as I was mean earlier about your lack of adventure.

I did it earlier last year through a service

3 hours every Fortnite - cost about £25

Does an OK-good job. (I have 2 in 6 months - one was great, other is ok...new one from next week)

It's lazy, but I can afford it and it gives me time back (3 hours of concentrated cleaning would be about 8 hours in Hexx time as I procrastinated, stop/start, check my e-mails etc).

They'll ask about pets, access etc when you approach.

I should still learn to dance. Other than that I'm pretty much perfect.

Not much resolutions but intentions:

Make a concerted effort to give up smoking.
Reduce the amount of un-necessary spending and reduce my overdraft debt.
Try to clear some of my backlog and finish one game before moving onto another.
Try and convert my temporary promotion into a permanent one.
Propose to my Girlfriend.

- drop three stone. I was a stone away from my fitness goals at the end of 2015, but have lost the thread of exercise due to injuries, lack of time and structure since moving out of my mums.
- to that end, record all the food I eat for the whole year. And four gym sessions per week/200 across the year.
- get a job that doesn’t require me to work four backshifts per week and every second Saturday.
- be more proactive at cleaning the flat. Place is a strawberry floating bomb site this morning. Also: move out.

A cleaner is absolutely worth it. I started hiring one about 4 years ago, and apart from the one who "accidentally" stole Christmas decorations it's made life so much easier.

In a two bed flat I've found a couple of hours every fortnight doing the deep clean stuff goes a long way and really isn't that costly. Might need abit longer for a house but still manageable.

Yeah but I'm so wise with it

- Main one is to lose weight. I've put a little on since moving to Germany, and went a bit crazy over Christmas. So if I can lose a stone, and tone up that will be good.
- Cut back on beer. I think that's the main reason I've put on weight since moving here. Cheap and decent. I'll move more to straight liquor.
- Figure out where to move to next and leave Germany.
