ReplyDeleteSo far so good. Early days, it has to be said....
16. Take my wife out more often
Well, we've booked up to go away for a couple of days in March, so that's a start.
33. Find more things to laugh out loud about
Watched 'Due Date' last night and pished myself laughing at the masturbation scene.
36. Sign up to do a cycle ride on the Continent in 2013
Broached this one with the Boss, and she gave tacit consent, so that's good.
39. Replace this tired old PC
Done! New PC on order from Chillblast.
