I really need to stop drinking so much.
I drink almost every night and I KNOW it’s not good for me, physically, mentally and emotionally.
I have a stressful job and whenever I have a bad day, I fool myself into thinking I deserve it.
I moved back in with my parents at the beginning of the year and my mother is always on my back about my problem.
I used to kid myself it wasnt a “problem” but of course it is. Drinking every night is not normal behaviour.
I am depressed about a lot of things, especially my weight gain, and I know this is one of the reasons I drink. I gained a lot of weight because of the drinking. It’s a nasty cycle.
So I’m planning on for now, drinking only on weekends and cutting back from there.
I’ll be clogging up this bored with the details of my attempts!

I’ve been meaning to check this one off for a while. Went back to blonde and haven’t looked back. Everyone knows it suits me better…they were all just being kind while I was in my little “brunette stage”.

I really want to work in the UK, either at the end of this year or early 2008. I finally know friends who have moved there, so I won’t feel totally lonely living in a strange country.

Working my arse off this year to build up an impressive resume, going to as many conferences and seminars that I am able to fit in. Updating my studies where I can.

The plan is to locum over there. A few months working and a month travelling around. Repeat this for at least a year. Much better money, a lot more professional respect (oh yeah and did I say A LOT MORE MONEY). The jobs are plentiful in my field, just need to register with the RCVS.

A colleague who has done this made me promise not to just work in England but also to work in Scotland, Ireland etc…all over.

Every Aussie seems to have at least lived 6 months in the UK at least sometime in their lives lol.

As long as they don’t blame me for Neighbours…
