Fuck me, but the metal underplate on my keyboard is cold on bare legs!

Now, in no way, shape or form are these Resoultions, they’re simply a list of the goals I’m going to try to achieve this year:

- Clear the garden and use it!
This means a hell of a lot of work because we have overgrown hedge on one side which I know for a fact will take a chainsaw to deal with. Then we have a quarter of the garden which is taken up completely with one huge compost pile/rubbish dump. I can see us hiring a skip to deal with it and to clear the falling-down shed. Also, our gate needs replacing.

- Buy a laptop and establish a permanent Wireless Network in the house.
With the kids spending more time on the PC in general and with a scorcher of a summer being predicted, I want to be out in the newly cleared garden just as much as possible - and that’s gonna be much more palatable if I can take the computer with me.

- I really do need a job.
I don’t think this one needs any explanation. Now I just need to find the right job.

- Lose at least 60lbs.
I know this seems like a lot, but with just dietary changes, I know I can lose 20lbs with ease this year (because I did just that last year). I need to get into the gym to repair my fucked up leg muscles, so the two-prong assault on my gut should see some very positive effects.

- Go on Holiday during Peak Season
Haven’t done it for almost fourteen years, but now both of the kids are at school, August is our target month. It’s either going to be Barcelona or Yorkshire.

- Re-start learning to Drive.
I don’t suppose i can put it off much longer. Once I’ve got a job, it should be easy enough.

- Redecorate.
One room is green, the others are magnolia. The floor in the kitchen is atrocious, the bathroom needs a facelift and the kids are wanting to stamp their personality on their rooms. Time to put that to rights.

- Make more of my websites.
This year, I really want to make a go of the various projects I’ve started over the last couple of years. There are four sites, including this one, which really could do with some quality time spent on them and some decent, proper advertising.

- Night school
I’ve recently been made aware that my fellow SM fetishists have very few healthcare professionals with whom they can be open and frank about their predilictions. I did make overtures about getting into Counselling last year and the subject has been preying on my mind. I might give it a proper go this year, with an eye to eventually joining this site.

That’s it for now. Progress reports will, of course, be filed under the “To-Do List” category, or more likely under the “Hopefully they’ll forget I said I’d do that” category.
