    yeah....pretty standard ones, but I think I need to get them done
    Seems that will be what I will be after as well. I stupidly have let my L's expire (in a couple of weeks) and will need to renew them, which means I gotta do a butloadd more hours.

    5. Less Transformers, more saving
    I got a 4k Credit card debt that we gotta pay off by august, I know how it feels. I haven't been to much live music either, I will be going to a few this year money permitting of course. And I will buy less transformers, or try to anyway. There isn't alot that I want anymore, I am losing a bit of interest in it again. I just hope I don't completely lose it.

    I broke my main resolution today but it's not for innocent eyes.

    Otherwise: do more gym work, eat better, lose weight, save money.

    TF wise: buy less repaints, buy stuff on special as much as possible and open things when I do buy them!

    Let's see... the ones I can make public:
    - Finish my Euro TFs collection (still need 4, and one replacement), and my JP Beast Era collection (need 7).
    - Travel to at least 2 neighbouring Asian Countries this year.
    - (I'd say 'go to BotCon' but that's become a standard feature, not an extraordinary goal/resolution)
    - Get more involved in my TFs collection by averaging at least one toy review per day.
    - Find a new job.
    - Pay off my credit card.
    - Complete the aim of achieving my target weight.
    Bonus resolutions (bonus, because they are less likely to be achieved, but can still give me ambition to try to achieve them)
    - Buy a Gold Lucky Draw TFs toy that is limited to 10 or less.
    - Plus 3 other bonus resolutions that I prefer not to mention here.

    - Get my motorbike liscence
    - Buy a motorbike
    - Get my XY wagon on the road for next summer
    - Get down to my goal weight of 83kg
    - Meet someone or at least meet someone interesting enough to begin the "chase" which is half the fun anyway
    - Complete my TF collection up to and including the '86' series
    - Turn the spare room into a display room for my TFs and other stuff

    Get my house/backyard/pool finished by Febuary so I can host my 30th birthday bash but I don't see that one happening

    I'm really praying for some patience as I have ranted several times before my business partner/brother is doing SFA at work because of his messed up personal life and I am physically and mentally exhausted (although also feeling a great sense of achievement over how much I've got done) and baby number 2 is due in T-minus 7 days and counting.
    HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

    Still have some stuff for sale. Free pickup at Parra Fair

    Before we start posting up our 2011 resolutions, how well did you do on our 2010 ones?

    Even if you didn't post your list in this topic at the start of the year, how many of your 2010 resolutions did you keep?

    For me, 2010 was no where near as successful as 2009, which saw me complete/keep all my resolutions. This was my 2010 list:

    - Buy a Gold Lucky Draw TFs toy that is limited to 10 or less.
    - Plus 3 other bonus resolutions that I prefer not to mention here.
    And how I went:

    - Still missing 3 Euro TFs, and 6 JP Beast Era TFs. FAIL
    - Didn't get to travel to any neighbouring Countries this year. FAIL
    - Went to BotCon. PASS
    - Only did partial reviews of about 150 toys, and only properly reviewed about 50. FAIL
    - Didn't find a new job. FAIL
    - Only paid off one credit card. FAIL
    - Gained weight FAIL
    - No bonus resolutions achieved. FAIL

    Pretty pathetic...

    Don't worry Griff, I did badly as well.

    Save Money FAIL
    Get fit FAIL
    Be healthy FAIL
    Get my P plates FAIL
    Pay off credit card (shouldn't be too hard) FAIL
    Go to live music events again (I seriously went to nothing last year ) Marginal pass, went to a few
    Less Transformers, more saving FAIL

    Though my other was to get a guitar and learn it. Well, I have my old crappy acoustic that I have to practice on, I can play a few things on it, but not well. And my missus might go get my guitar off layby tomorrow if I'm lucky.

    I wasn't even on here for the last New Years but from what I can remember of my quickly disgarded resolutions I failed all of them
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
