Go to the gym twice as usual (twice a day) spend half my army paycheck on protein and getting fit, and start my training to get ready for the special forces in a few years!

Oh and get my XC rebuilt with a sexy worked 250 x-flow

1 - Fight back. I think I have aged 10 years in the last 3 from not looking after myself (drink to much, eat to much and lack of excersise) and now have medical issues I shouldn't have at 35....gotta fight back

2- Finish the 10 year + renovation. Mrs Ringo and I have our minds on upsizing houses. Suppose that means we should finish renovating the small house we have now first eh?

3- Show me the money - I got a new job a few months ago which involves sales and has a good commision structure. I am earning more money now than I ever have and I have set a realistic $ figure goal for myself for the 2011 year.

4- Get Mrs Ringo pregnant....talked about it for years, better get on with it and stop practising.

1. Again like many others and what I always say is to get fitter.
2. Finish renovating inside and outside the house (about 1/4 way through)
3. Graduating from my Electrical Associate Diploma (then to start the Bachelor)
4. Getting up a double carport ready for a new daily the year after.
5. Practise more and get the missus pregnant :-) (reason why want house done also).
6. Reduce my debt on the house by a considerable amount (as much as possible on my wage anyway).

When you figure that out, and after you’ve received the "Australian bloke of the year" trophy, put the secret code up in here so we can all do the same.

I'm going to retract my previous resolutions, for new ones.
Not chuck random sickies at my new job, like I did the old one.
Finish spending money on my tatts, i've set a limit and I'll stick to it.(march is the last one)
begin saving for a house around my birthday(may).
