Re: New Year Resolutions
...
This year, after taking several deep breaths, I've committed to a) being able to have a proper conversation in Korean, and b) getting down to fighting-fit shape and condition to ride my retirement present to myself (regardless of whether or not retirement happens this year) (photo attached). Both are SMART. The latter may involve no booze till Easter...

Spoiler:
Fighting-fit: Check -- workout almost every day since 23 Dec, diet 95% there, booze down to once a week or less. Target is October.

Re: New Year Resolutions
As in direct billing? I've been in touch with a couple of places who say they don't do it so you have to claim back. I need some work on my lower back.

Re: New Year Resolutions
Well, sounds good to me... I do have a referral letter already as I went to the doctor in a clinic on the Palm and she sent me for X-rays, etc. I'll give them a call.

Re: New Year Resolutions
Good to hear lots of people are doing well and hitting targets. 
1. In progress. No longer smoke during the week at all (apart from last night on a works drink thing in London, so I'm not beating myself up over it).
Next step will be cutting down on the Saturday smokes so it's just when drinking. We'll see.
2. Hit top marks like a good boy in appraisal which means promotion should come in June/July reviews.
3. Not yet.

Re: New Year Resolutions
How's everyone getting on with theirs then?
I've hit a couple very recently
1. Not yet. Smoke in the evenings in the week again but not beating myself over this just yet. Will cut down again.
2a. Yup. Got promoted. Now a Senior Dickhead.
2b. Yup. Got a payrise, 10% so can't be sniffed at, but have gone back and argued for more. Might find out a bit more news on this tomorrow.
3. Yup. She said yes in Bali. Properly chuffed
