I haven't made resolutions in years.
If I want to set a goal for myself, I just do it. Just because they're set at the start of the year doesn't make them any more attainable, if anything the constant fucking bleating about the things usually results in them being broken fairly swiftly by most people.

Yeah, I never really set out to do it. It just sort of happened.
I was sat in the pub and my mates asked me if I was coming out for a fag and I said 'err... well it's been a week so I might as well not bother eh?'. That was in June.

I used to be. But I'd slowly started not bothering so much when I wasn't drinking.
I'd absolutely cained it the week before so was too hungover to contemplate cigs for the first part of the week.

It's a diesel, with only 80k on the clock, so it's got *years* of driving left in it.
But the body is getting a bit old and shit (much like its owner) and the seals are gone, to the extent that I get ice on the inside of my windscreen and rear window when it's cold.

I don't have a rear screen heater, and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth fixing it, and getting the window seals replaced, or just getting replacement windows altogether.

I reckon a budget of about a grand would be enough to cover it all, yeah?
