    I thought I may get back to the gym for starters. Running again maybe.

    Failing that, I'll get a WiiFit board. :)

    Pah. I've marked myself down for five. I lost ten pounds on December.
    No such thing. :)

    I'm not sure the finance sub-committee is fully on board at the
    moment.

    They're good fun, although I'm not sure they're the answer to getting
    fit....

    We played on ours for about 3 hours between us yesterday afternoon.

    The first step is to try & force myself to hate a certain person, as I
    think that's the only way I'll break the hold. I've not mentioned it,
    but the last four weeks have been pure hell. I can't let myself get in
    that position again.

    Second step is to get the two houses I rent out onto the council's
    private sector leasing scheme, as a succession of scumbag tenants have
    just about wiped me out. The council definitely want both of them on
    three year leases, so that'll be another major source of stress dealt
    with.

    Third step, which I've pretty much completed, is to get rid of all the
    animals. I've just got one cat left now, & she'll be gone as soon as I
    find a suitable 'home in the country' for her.

    Fourth - get the **** out of Dodge. This will mean renting this place
    out for a couple of years, & renting somewhere else to live in -
    probably a flat on the coast. Hence the reason for getting rid of all
    the toys. That's a few months off though as I've got a shitload of work
    to do on it first to make it rentable.

    Final step is to start putting myself first & **** everyone else. I
    suspect I'm kidding myself if I think I can do that, but I'll give it a
    go.

    Also lose weight as all my trousers (inc. leathers) appear to have
    shrunk during 2008.

    Learn to play the clavinova that I bought with money from my dad's
    will.

    Wow, there's a lot of anger there. Anything planned to put a smile on
    your face?
