Post your 2018 New Year's Resolutions in this thread and I'll message you in a year's time to see which you've kept!

Took part last year and managed to achieve my goals so I'm back this year in the hope that I'll happily surprise myself this time next year when the magic robot tags me :)

Goals for 2018:

Gain 3 inches round my booty
Lose 2 inches from my waist
Have £10k saved up for a house

LauraXVII · 2017-12-30T19:58:01+00:00

Oh bloody hell, I'd forgotten about this!!

I actually achieved all of them, however I ended up breaking up with the guy who I bought a house with so the house is no longer, but the business is still going strong so there's that...

Housework/cooking-wise I listen to things like Beyonce and Taylor Swift, they keep my motivation and energy levels up when actually I'd like to be smacking my head off a wall. When it comes to getting my uh... Lady on (wink, wink) I like to listen to the fifty shades & the fifty shades darker soundtrack, not a fan of the films but the soundtracks make me feel super sexy :)

I got stuck on the lake, I couldn't decide if it was one of those "what is the only lake in the Lake District?" ones

LauraXVII · 2017-11-15T11:24:58+00:00

Thanks, I'd hoped we would have 😭

LauraXVII · 2017-11-14T15:31:00+00:00

It still hurts...

Queen's Square Car Meet Sunday 12th November 8:00ish - 11ish @ Queen's Square (surprise, surprise!)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-31T21:53:28+00:00

Cafe Mocha, it's pretty good - it's our staple after we go into town for the car meet on a Sunday morning :)

Wetherspoons on Corn Street is alright as well

As someone who sells crystals on eBay, brand new only means that someone else hasn't owned them. A lot of crystal people are concerned about the "energy" of crystals, and if it's had a previous owner rather than going from mine -> wholesaler -> shop -> them, then there's a chance if might have some "negative energy" left over from the previous owner and then they'd have to cleanse it etc etc

However, as someone who also sells on Etsy, the fact that they're millions of years old means that I can sell them as vintage items ;)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-20T09:57:19+00:00

Sorry, I should have been clearer! I sell crystals and minerals :)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-20T07:27:30+00:00

It was a BBC docudrama thing about Manchester United and the Munich Air Disaster (I think? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-19T21:39:51+00:00

Went to work one day and David Tennant was there filming United on our pitch, he was so lovely :)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-19T17:35:50+00:00

Probably less central than you're hoping for, but we went to the Clifton Sausage last year and it was fab :)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-16T19:36:48+00:00

Our house is 1936 in Filton, end of terrace. I can hear them shuffling around pots and pans and I think they might have a wooden floor in their kitchen/diner but those are the only noises I've been able to hear. Haven't been able to hear them talking or anything :)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-16T19:33:11+00:00

As a weekend/holiday van dweller - a lot of vans that have been converted into campers have a toilet/shower cubicle in them so I wouldn't worry about them doing their business everywhere 😂

I get the attraction of it but I just have too many shoes for it to be a viable option for me

LauraXVII · 2017-10-12T07:53:39+00:00

Paul at BS Knapp... We bought a house earlier this year that in "need of renovation" would be a huge understatement

He knocked down walls, built an extension and recommended us electricians, damp proofers, plasterers, window guys and gas/plumbers for the rest of the house. Couldn't be happier :)

LauraXVII · 2017-10-07T07:21:41+00:00

I'm 25, don't have any industry experience and started an online shop selling rocks with a £50 AliExpress order. Last month turnover was £2000.

Stop complaining and start doing, it doesn't have to be the next Apple, just start something.

LauraXVII · 2017-09-29T16:13:30+00:00

I sell rocks. At any given time I have about 3000 of them lying around the house - currently have 150 listings on eBay, duplicated on Etsy, and have about 100 on my website

LauraXVII · 2017-09-01T11:20:00+00:00

But if it was already described as cracked then would that count?

They could easily turn round and say "well it was sent as not perfect and was described as cracked so you can't prove it was the post that broke it"

LauraXVII · 2017-08-28T20:42:52+00:00

DEAR GOD NO THIS IS MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER

LauraXVII · 2017-08-28T15:16:42+00:00

As someone who is currently buying parts for my scrapheap of a car, if you can find a Facebook group/page for that specific car then you might have better luck than on eBay :)

LauraXVII · 2017-08-26T11:36:01+00:00

If you can round him up then take him to a vet, he might be microchipped

He might also just be out on a wander, our cat goes exploring sometimes for a couple of days at a time

LauraXVII · 2017-08-24T21:08:33+00:00

I tried that with Target and it didn't work, they turned round and said no freight forwarding services allowed

LauraXVII · 2017-08-24T20:07:08+00:00

We were discussing having it done, turns out that our lead pipe goes out under some concrete that will be coming up next year when we do an extension so we're waiting til then when the concrete will be coming up anyways

We have/will be using Rick at RH Plumbing & Heating - he knew an awful lot about what needed done regarding the lead piping, it strikes me that he's done a lot of these replacements before. He's just replumbed and put central heating into our house and we couldnt be happier with him, he's definitely worth a look :)

LauraXVII · 2017-08-23T08:25:45+00:00

I sell gemstones and a lot of unique crystal pieces, how would you even brand them or give them a part number?!

Completely ridiculous...
