Me and Mr Rose have half a job between us and that is my job.

However, due to this forum Mr Rose is now getting a few good quality odd jobs so that things are ticking along a little.

And I am training for another part time career in May.

Soooo I will try not get the January blues because at least we don't have a mortgage and there are a lot of people worse off.

Still, bloody cold though!

And there was me thinking one of your '09 resolutions was to not just SAY you were coming to a drinks quids...


One of my 08 resolutions was to not get quite so gut-churningly upset, just because of what 11 fellas in red and white do on a football pitch. Fortunately for me I largely managed that, because those fellas in red and white went on to be even more dissapointing this year. But the main reason to not get so gut-churningly upset was, quite apart from my own sanity, it didn't seem fair to inflict it on Lady Mac.


So there it is. "Not getting upset makes other people happy" shocker.

I quite like that "clean sheet of paper" feeling that comes with the new year, always seems full of promise.


And I didn't go quite so loopy on presents and in the sales that I am going to get that "broke till pay day feeling" that normally makes January drag.


If I get down it's more usually February that does it to me - combination of the reminder of singledom that is valentines day - no matter how crap and commericialized it is, still feels worse being single than not. Plus it's another month of long nights and coldness on top of November, December, January etc.


But in addition to my week of skiing in Jan, I have a long weekend of skiing at the start of Feb to look forward to, and a day course in perfumery at the end of the month which I have wanted to do for many years, plus other things planned, so I am actually quite looking forward to it this year :-).

Afraid I don't really subscribe to all that stuff... the calendar always seems pretty arbitrary to me. There's no good reason tomorrow should be the first day of the year rather than any other.

Yep, I usually do a week as well as a long weekend too! Need to get in as much skiing as possible, otherwise I'm desperate to go again by May or June.

Oh, I know it's quite arbitary. But since it makes me happy to think of it that way I'm not planning on stopping!

January blues? Are you fecking mad? I'm always glad that Christmas is over and we can all get back to normal (whatever that is) and step into a new year with a positive attitude. But, then I guess that's just me being an eternal optimist. Happy New Year everyone.

I can't wait for January! Ever the optimist, I think each year is going to be marvellous and indeed that each year I shall grow a tad more fabulous.


I usually run out of steam in June but pick up again in October for my birthday which is pretty good going I reckon...


Have a great 2009 everyone!

Men think about the fact that you beat out about five hundred MILLION other sperm-racers to get to the egg first.


So as we are sooooo lucky to be here then lets make the most of it>:D<


Happy and Healthy New Year To One And All:)-D

Happy New Year, everyone!


Jah and Belle - bless you for being the charming glass-half-full people that you are. Good on you.


Best of luck to all the people who know they have Big Things coming in 2009 (buggie, Keef....) and also to those of us for whom any Big Things will be a surprise...


Tony, don't be a twerp, it isn't only men who are only here because their particular sperm hit home one day. (hits upside the head, but in a friendly, ringing-in-the-new-year kind of way).


Look forward to Quids' new stance promoting the great business opportunities in ED that 2009 will bring.. :-)


May we all grow a little in 2009, and not just in our waistlines.

    • Looking for a celebrity impersonator for a party or any good companies any one knows, please let me know!!
    • That’s another big hike on the Sainsbury’s mini rolls! I spoke to one of the managers on the day of the anchovies price rise but all he could say was that his store doesn’t set the prices. Very vague and not helpful. i started this thread about price rises in  Sainsbury’s and it’s somehow being blamed on Brexit etc! 
    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
