[NSC] Your new year's resolution

[Justice]

Nothing, won’t stick to it so don’t bother…..

This, why put yourself under pressure.

 

[Justice]

Cut out sugar from diet / stop smoking / try to give up booze

If you are anything like me working and smoking at work go together. I comprised only smoke at work and vape indoors.

How's it going so far

 

[AmexRuislip]

Continuing staying, only drinking water and 5he occasional hot chocolate.
Feel better for it.
Doing stuff for myself (& Mrs AR) and not worrying about work or anything relayed.

 

[Is it PotG?]

To be more tolerant and empathetic towards the views of others, however ridiculous they might be.

 

[Taybha]

Finish my underground shelter and learn how to speak Welsh and Mandarin.

 

[Rookie]

Envy those trying to give up sugar, really really difficult as it is everywhere

 

[Triggaaar]

To try and stay perfect and be wary of complacency.

 

[BrightonCottager]

1) Be more thoughtful about Mrs BC's needs.
2) Cycle, surf and see Fulham more.
3) Somehow reconcile 1) and 2).

2024 is going to be the year I properly get my OCD under control.

Wishing you all the best with that. I’ve seen how hard OCD can make life but also how much progress can be made.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Get fit again, the first target is our end of Feb ski holiday. Attend more yoga sessions.

To start saving for a re-roof required …. I’ve always been aware of the mega cost of this, but the 83 year old felt/tiling has come to its end . Get the house straight …. we’ve been running about 4 ‘projects’ at once …. it’s unsettling living in a xxxx building site.

Get on in creating a large wildlife pond. I’ve been promising @Wardy's twin for years.

get your priorities in the right order... wildlife pond first

I have an intriguing situation - my wild life pond would fail the 'is it a wild life pond' test as described by DEFRA experts but it has been loads of newts & damsel flies and some frogs ( need to protect the spawn/tadpoles .as the newts eat loads).

I would do it differently if I were do revisit it.

Hi, As someone who has had OCD I know it can be absolutely crippling in terms of running a 'normal' life . I got mine under control at present but fully aware it could pop up at any moment, you don't get cured you learn how to reduce it. My experience was that OCD at my worst was the result of extreme anxiety , address the latter and the former came under a bit of control. I assume you are getting/trying to get some professional help but my view is talking about it with close friends & family helps . For too many years I tried to conceal /deny it.

Thanks.

Yes, I’ve previously got it under control with some fairly extensive professional help. I’m experiencing it from a different angle/theme currently, so I’m plucking up the courage to work through this new stuff using what I learned before, but it is not easy.

Gotta say, dry January’s dragging on a bit!!

[Without a spade in the ground yet] I’ve changed my plan, going for a larger pond, the largest that’ll look reasonable for our garden, to give a wider expanse of open water to encourage several species of bat.

I’ve still got the energy/lack of chronic injuries, to give it a go. Shifting the chalk will all be downhill, luckily.

 

[Bodian]

Fix the leak in the conservatory
Fix the dripping gutter
Fix the leak/drip down the chimney

- all stuff that was on last year's list as well.....

 

[Taybha]

Got any pics of the shelter?

Oh yes sorry I'll post some up later when it's complete just in case the bloody zombies can't find us

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Usual stuff. Lose some weight but more importantly try to sort out lower back pain

I'm an expert on the latter. I have scoliosis and arthritis. The scoliosis doesn't bother me any more thanks to a physio showing me a straightening exercise.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Fe....

Ill go and put on my coat.
