A wry look at the year ahead


Right!

.

In 2017

.

I will lose 10 stone, what I mean is I will lose 2 stone 5 times. 

.

I'm not going to drink any more, I'm not going to drink any less. 

.

I will get taller, not thought how. 

.

I will grow my hair, long enough to wax. 

.

I won't bite my nails, nor will I spit them or feathers. 

.

I won't carry weight on my shoulders, it can stay on my bum and tum. 

.

I will keep up with charitable donations to the gym with my on hold direct debit. 

.

I will go to the gym, for coffee and lunch. 

.

I will say no if I don't want to do something or it doesn't interest me or if there's an ulterior motive. 

.

Actually I will also say no to green peppers, custard and its associates, coffee cake, carrot cake, scones with no cream. 

.

I will also use the word no when cold callers crackle and cackle down the phone and ask if I am Griswelda Moonblaster, the name I used in 2016 for cold callers. 

.

I will sleep. I bloody well will. 

.

When asked for an opinion I will give it honestly. I might not speak to the person again. 

.

I will continue to hide mushrooms in food, unless my children are reading this. In which case it's browned parsnips. 

.

I will try not to embarrass my children, the level of embarrassment depends on how many times I ask and remind about chores. 

.

I don't do new year resolutions but I do hope. 

.

Here's to 2017.
