Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: goldencup on January 01, 2006, 10:13:29 am

Come on then, what are everybody's New Year Resolutions?  Just the usual ones of losing weight, getting fit etc or my old standby of resolving not to make any resolutions? 

For the record, I intend to lost two stone by May and am taking up three new exercise classes.  I'm also going to spend less time on the Internet and become a bit more 'girly'.  I may even carry a handbag!  Watch this space.....

I too am going to lose weight, be less frivolous with money, grow my fringe out and be more tolerant of people not as beautiful as me.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: chocolate chick on January 04, 2006, 12:23:21 pm

First was the reverse park, second was reverse round a corner and the 3rd was the hill start (forgot to put the car in gear!!) and the reverse park.

Bright pink. My sister (who is training to be a car mechanic) works with the company who customised the car. It is not entirely dissimilar to this one: http://www.jon44w.com/site3/viewthread.php?tid=907

I think of cars as male so I am happy with my blue car. He is a bit of a troublesome teenager but not so bad that I want to get rid of him.

I don't know if I will get my own car or just share David's. I won't use it for work cos I get the train. 

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 06, 2006, 01:17:47 pm

I used to only use my car at weekends and the battery goes flat often if you don't use it much, particularly if it's just short journeys. I don't have a battery problem now as I use my car every day.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: chocolate chick on January 06, 2006, 03:06:50 pm

I will have to weigh up the pro's and con's of having my own car. Me and David spend most of our time together anyway, and its an expensive toy as we are saving up for a place as well.

I used to know someone who had a white Mini with a hot pink roof.  At the time I thought it was hideous but I might warm to the idea now.

You're absolutely right there Lou.  A year ago I wouldn't have been seen dead in pink - now I even have a hot pink cello case!

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: loulou on January 08, 2006, 05:02:08 pm

Imagine if you could get a pink cello. Instruments would look good in bright colours. I would like a pink violin.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: chocoboo on January 08, 2006, 05:03:54 pm

I think a red violin would be nice

You can get brightly coloured violins but I've never seen cellos.

I can't play an instrument but could carry one as a fashion acessory

Post by: goldencup on January 08, 2006, 07:51:42 pm

Mine would make a pretty heavy accessory.

Post by: loulou on January 08, 2006, 07:56:31 pm

Yes you need something smaller like a recorder.

Yuk! Everyone had to play the recorder when I was at school. Once a week each class took it in turns to play the recorder in assembly. Those terrible, screechy school recorders, always played badly, could put you off playing an instrument for life. All classes ever played was London's Burning or Polly put the kettle on.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: loulou on January 08, 2006, 08:08:50 pm

or Three Blind Mice

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: goldencup on January 08, 2006, 08:25:34 pm

The recorder sounds wonderful when played by someone really good but excruciating played out of tune by a group of year 2's.

Post by: chocolate chick on January 09, 2006, 08:56:30 am

I used to play the recorder when I was at School

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 09, 2006, 10:45:50 am

I was in recorder club at school too. I had a wooden recorder but most other peoples' were brown plastic. London's Burning and Three Blind Mice - I definitely remember playing those tunes a lot...

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: chocolate chick on January 09, 2006, 11:59:45 am

I had a brown one. I think I may even have played in an assemberley

Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 09, 2006, 03:14:49 pm

I remember someone knocking my front tooth out when they banged into me playing the recorder at lunchtime recorder club. I think I was about 4 years old!

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: smurfboy on January 09, 2006, 05:27:45 pm

That's a nightmare, because your adult teeth don't come in for years. I knocked both my front teeth out as a five year-old and was stuck with a gap for four years.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: loulou on January 09, 2006, 07:13:55 pm

Sorry

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?

I don't remember having a gap that long. I need to look at my old school photos...

I think I was about 6 or 7 when I lost my front teeth.

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?

me too

Title: Resolutions - any interesting ones?
Post by: goldencup on January 10, 2006, 07:04:02 pm

For some reason when you knock them out, the new ones come through even later.  That's what my dentist said anyone.  My son had his missing for years.

Post by: chocolate chick on January 11, 2006, 02:04:49 pm

Never grew. My baby teeth fell out and the adult ones never came through. My 2 front teeth at the bottom, both molars and 1 canine is missing. My dentist has done a great job though. My teeth are perfect.

My dentist is absolubtely gorgeous and he can prod about my mouth all day if he wishes. I must keep concentrating though and remembering when he says 'open wide' he doesn't mean my legs.
