Reality resolutions or pie-in-the-sky promises
« on: December 29, 2021, 14:42 »
OK the game is to make 3 resolutions for the New Year and at least one has to be fake.  Let’s see if we can guess if you are determined or day dreaming  :lol:

I’ll start you off :

I’m going to make an effort to do more exercise
I’m not buying any seeds that I don’t really need
I’m definitely keeping on top of my plot this year

I am not going to have so many pots and containers
I am going to stop being miserly and spend some of my money
I am going to move to a smaller property

I'm going to start eating lunch.
I'm going to stop saving things which could possibly be useful - one day.
I'm going to finish the DIY projects I've started and left.

<edit - I'm also going to buy an new keyboard>

I’m going to learn to play the piano
I’m going to go wild swimming
I’m going to spend at least an hour a day doing housework

Are we supposed to guess which one is fake?
If so, Id assume your second one was - because we all know that's nigh on impossible to keep to  :lol:

Hmm, this is difficult I’m torn between the lunch or the DIY, do you have the time for either?

You can guess but what makes you think I won’t keep to the second one  :ohmy:  OK , maybe I have given the game away on that one in previous posts  :lol:  I’d say 1 fake and 2 pipe dreams for me.

Lardman I suspect of day dreaming on all 3
Snowdrops is never going to do an hour of housework a day even if she has to go wild swimming or play the piano to avoid it
Mrs B - perhaps 3 is real  :unsure:  No way the garden won’t be filled with beautiful pots of flowers and I don’t believe the bit about being miserly anyway  :lol:

Mrs B, I think you will find it nigh impossible not to have so many pots and containers, but the most difficult thing would be to move to a smaller property, much as you might like to, so I vote for the third thing on your list.
As for spending more of your money - why not?? As long as you keep enough for emergencies plus a bit, why not make yourself comfortable?

Great resolutions here, so for me...

Take something out of the roof and chuck it, once a week
Grow fewer tomatoes - 89 plants is ridiculous (two years ago)
Finish scanning all our old photographs.

Mine are:

Stop buying so many books and knitting yarn

Stop going in every charity shop I come to - refer to previous pipe dream

Spend less time at the allotment

The problem is on the way to and from the plot I can visit two rather nice charity shops, if I were to make a 2 Mile detour I could avoid them

I really do suspect that you will keep NONE of these resolutions  :lol: :lol:

I suspect that the first is the one least likely to happen  :D

I think that saving useful things, will be the hardest to keep to - mainly because I've never managed to do it  :lol: :lol:
