Bit different to the usual NY resolutions!
1. When Soli met a strange dog without hackles/barking/lunging etc for the firs time, at the end of summer. And another two right afterwards on the same walk :D
2. Honestly, no idea. I've been pretty oblivious to the new this year, more a hermit than ever before!
3. See #1 :D
4. Being made redundant in July, at just the same time as my savings account ran dry. And only 2 days after I got my fourth dog (after much umming and ahing as to whether I could afford her :rolleyes:).
5. Fine line, but overall good I think. It's been bloody hard - what with losing the job, settling in to a new place, looking for jobs and now settling in to a new job (3 months now) - but I think, overall, good. I've learned a lot, met some lovely new people at work, and got my little dog.
6. Not really, I'd hoped to be in full time, permanent employment by now, paying my mortgage and so on. As it is I'm getting gradually more in debt with my sister and friends (I rent from my sister and I'm not paying it at the mo till I can afford it); and my friend, who should have moved up in June, still hasn't been able to move from Kent (and help with the rent). But I'm optimistic!
7. What *I* want... hmm. To finally succeed in training my dogs to recall :D A second job, so I can pay my bills myself. And a lovely (hot) man... really, one or other of the two guys at work I like but I'd be happy to meet someone entirely new. Who can put up with all my animals. Don't want much do I? :D
8. I hope to start dancing lessons in 2008, and convert my garage to hold a stupidly big tropical fish tank. The dance lessons I need to earn more money to pay for, so that second job is a factor again. Actually, that's the case for both the lessons and the garage/fish tank.
9. For the country - for someone to take control who has half a brain cell to play with. To make good decisions for crime and taxpayers' money; and to sort out the joke that is the Human Rights fiasco, so that people who need to be brought to justice can be instead of their victims being persecuted.
10. Hmmm... 2008, New Year, New Me? :D Seriously though it will be, I'm going to sort myself out once and for all. No more bad food and bad fitness, my back is almost sorted and once I'm fighting fit I intend to run. And run some more, and dance. And unwind every night playing my guitar.
