I've had a complete change of person recently... I've quit smoking, pretty much quit drinking, am eating healthier n exercising....
Ok stop pissing urself laughing, this aint a twisted joke... seriously! Reason 4 the BIG change is cos
I GOT A LETTER FROM THE PRISON SERVICE TELLING ME I'VE PASSED THE APPLICATION STAGE AND HAVE BEEN INVITED 2 TAKE THE PRISON OFFICER SELECTION TESTS IN JAN!!!!
If I pass them (its likely, cos I do well on aptitude tests... got scarily high scores and was asked if I'd consider a career in Naval Intelligence) I go on2 the 2nd round of testing in march which includes a medical and fitness test... which is why am putting the effort in now to kick myself in2 shape.
Thought I'd share my happiness with you! Anyway hope you all have a fantastic christmas and great new year!
Loadsa Love n Hugs,
Nic xxx
P.S. Whats every1's new years resolutions? I only kept one from last year which was the resolution to break all the other ones I'd made.

Well, it seems one by one all smokers are quitting, more or less. How are you coping? My first week of not smoking was an absolute nightmare....
But, oooooooooh, the thought of those poor convicts!
Good luck with your getting-back-into-shape efforts. I'm sure they won't go to waste. And merry Christmas, too!
My New Year's resolution? Last year's was to take things easier and to relax more. I just remembered it now, so Heaven knows for how long I stuck to it. But I'll have the same one for 2006. You only live once and can't afford stressing over everything.

This is, honestly, not a joke. I've witnessed Nic's healthy living -- melon for breakfast, I kid you not -- and she's putting me to shame.
Many congrats, babe. You know how proud we all are of you. My new year's resolution is to not have a boyfriend who looks like a trampy Chris Martin from Coldplay.
I'm so pleased for you! thats great, smoking is not nice. trying to persuade my mum and sister to give up but its a losing battle
my resolutions are to get fit, most importantly cos I'm putting weight on with all this chocolate I'm eating. I also want to pass my driving test sooner rather than later. Its too expensive, its not a question of if, I AM going to pass, even if it takes 50 attempts! but I can't afford lessons for much longer. And I am not going to get stressed over silly things any more
Erm the coping with not smoking, its driving me round the bend but am managing it, think I might have slipped up on thursday night tho when I was blind drunk (made a christmas rule concerning alcohol, i can't buy myself anything other than soft drinks, however cos its christmas if any1 buys me a drink of their own free will, its only polite 2 accept it - theory is that ppl wont buy me alcohol all night, I was proved wrong on thursday cos i ended up off my face).
Gotta start on the running/jogging. walking 2 and from work has been easy, am eatin more healthily... got sum cracking arm muscles!! Really hope I get it
My new years resolution is to actually start paying off debts I got in2 thanks to university (i.e credit cards n overdraft)

Ohhhhh I forgot... the secret if ur quitting smoking DOESN'T lie in the use of nicotine gum (its rank) but it does lie in the use of JUICYFRUIT! (sugar free bluemberry flavour) its keeping me sane n seems to lessen the cravin 4 a cig, oh and plenty of water cos its proven to lessen nicotine cravings
