I am going to loose the 14lbs or so I have put on since being in Canada, I am going to eat heathily, be nice to idiots, rise early, walk miles, take up charity work, get Aplus grades at school, be kind and gentle, keep the house clean and tidy, keep the car clean inside and out, always be prefectly dressed and manicured, cook delicious meals, never let the laundry mount up so theres nothing left to wear, oh yes and give up sarcasm

Well I put on 4 oz does that count?

My New Years resolution has to be - Move on.

Put 2006 in the past. 2007 is my new start.

I've kissed too many frogs, now I need to find my prince ;)

So i going to try even harder to find a job in Canada that can offer a work permit so i can get there quicker

My plans include returning to my education, working in the non-profit sector, buying more property, going up in a hot air balloon and going to South America.

I'm going to give up being a spineless weenie and I'm going to stop buying fruit.

To have a look on this board more often and to get on with my life!

I haven't been on her much since August as the 4 year thing has pished me off so much.

However, I have recently changed to a much better job and am getting on with my life. I now would no longer move to Canada regardless. I would need to get a decent job lined up (this new job should help with that) before I would pack it all in over here now.:) :)

Not at all. I'm still 100% about wanting to start a new life there. Only now I have the potential to secure a Job before I land, and If I do not manage to find a job within the year I am given to land I will not go!

I now have the best job that I have ever had and I am not going to leave this profession to work for $9CAN just so I can live in Canada.

Remind me again, I've had a few too many New Year's Eve drinkies, but what job were you in or are you in now?

Wearsider Dec 31st 2006 2:14 pm

Re: Whats your new year resolution
 
I was in IT, and I am still in IT, but I am now in a a managerial role which is usually in demand, coupled with some qualifications I have recently gained should help me out a lot when I eventually get to Canada.

Well good luck to you then, hope it helps in getting you over 'ere sooner than 4 years ;) What province were you hoping to go to? Sorry, but my head can't quite reach back to May/June when we were first acquainted :D

Alberta initially, although I love B.C. too, so either of the two really.

I do not wish to go out East and Hicksville(You know where I mean) does not appeal too much either!

1. Ski more black runs
2. Run at least four times a week
3. Give up Crisps (at least until Feb )
4. Raise some money for Charity or volunteer for stuff.

I was going to say give up drinking for a bit but nahhhhhhhh

5. Drink a little less
