Well, we promised we’d keep you up to date on who buckled first and went back to their old ways, so here it, a special guide to how we faired with our New Year’s Resolutions. Just to remind everyone, (and fill those in who didn’t know), these were ours:
Technical Markus: “To stop smoking, but don’t quote me on that…”
John the Gooner: “To drink more”
Chewie: “To eat more fruit”
Gary: “To not say innit after every sentence I say. Innit…”
Melanie: “Get myself a Samsung MiCoach to get myself back to the peak of fitness after the Christmas binge!”
Well, everyone except John and Melanie have broken their resolution! (although let’s be honest, breaking a resolution to drink more isn’t hard, especially in John’s case… and Melanie kind of has, since she hasn’t actually bought a new phone, she’s just run about more…)
But who was the first to crack?
In a surprise victory, it wasn’t Gary (who we all thought it would be) but Technical Markus, who lasted a whole 13 minutes before he broke his New Year’s Resolution.
In his acceptance speech, he said, “I’d like to thank all the people who made this victory a possibility, and once again remind the world that you can win big just by being utterly rubbish at giving stuff up!”
As a reward for being rubbish, we made him wait until last week to get his new P1. That’ll teach him!
Now we’re into the new year proper, we now resume normal service!

Just to clarify, I said I’d drink more rather than continue to drink.
The good news is……I am managing to drink more!!
Good night.
