General O/T Chit Chat Thead II

Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet... let's make 2017 great again(?)... no I think he's going to be a disaster. Well, he already is. If 2017 is any better than 2016 it'll be nothing short of a miracle.

Oh and before I get in trouble with Lalas, when I refer to 2017 I mean in a generic, global sense. My year will be fulfilling and fabulous, once again. :)
I have a great hope that 2017 will be a great year, and while I in no way supported Trump, I hope his party can unify.

For me personally, 2017 is already shaping up to be brilliant.

Happy New Year, friend. Xo
get braces darling

GOOD MOANIN FAUX T THREAD!

I am about the embark on a week off, then I start my secondment in a whole new Ward! I am so excited and nervous at the same time! The new hospital is ENORMOUS!!! It is going to be a very exciting place to work.

I made a list of resolutions and 4 days in I already broke 6 of them :(

Coops!! Oh my God, Vikings!!! So devastated! But on the upside, I have found a new show, Suits. I am 3 eps in and I love it.

Do any of you have any particular goals for 2017?
 
Happy New Year, Jordy :)

Can you answer some?

Happy New Year, Trala!!

Congratulations on your career move. :)

Without trying to sound too negative, I will just say that 2016 was the worst year for me and 2017 is no better at the moment. :unsure:

Enjoy your week off, Lalas!!! :)

My goal for the first half of 2017 is to turn this into a fabulous apartment:

Meanwhile the view to the west is quite good. Actually it has views on all sides but this one is the best:

Woohoo 2017, let's doooo eeeet!

:( I hope you're being melodramatic. What's going on? Anything you can change?

Hey you never told us your dream job, are you any closer to it?

Yikes! I'm rather curious to see how this comes together!

I thought my home was in need of some TLC :p

Uh oh, I'm curious now what they were!! I've read that resolutions should be viewed as a year long thing, you don't have to start right on Jan 1 and its ok to have setbacks throughout the 12 months, I find this reassuring I must say.

My only goal is definitely to sort out my living situation, whatever that proves to mean. I looked at a place to buy just today but Sydney prices have me crying, nonetheless, I may still consider it. My other options are renting somewhere bigger or leaving Sydney.

Demo crew has been in this week and the "walls" (such as they were) have now been pulled down, and safety nets installed. The whole place will be torn down until they reach the slab and then they'll build a whole new structure. As you can see, there is nothing worth keeping. I've always wanted to try my hand at property development, so this is a dream come true*. Never exactly planned on building a place from scratch though!

*I hope those words don't come back to haunt me.
 
Make sure you post regular updates do we can watch it shaping up. That view is fantastic. Are you making it a feature?

The living and bedroom will each have a 1.2m wide window to take in that view.

I might play it a bit coy on the update pics, but I'm putting together a video of the process, and I'll post that when the project is complete.

Thank you! I am also doing some study.

You HAVE to tell us why?!

I think 2017 if full of opportunities and adventure. You just need to look for them. Xo

Woohoo 2017, let's doooo eeeet!

Thanks, I will.

I can't wait to watch the transformation. I have found renos to be full of tears and laughter. Personally I find it quite stressful just deciding on what tile, paint colour and so on to pick. But the end result is so awesome.

That view, seriously beautiful.

Well I was going to start every day with a Salute to the Sun, lasted 3 days. Was going to do FitStar 3 times a week, have done it once, was going to swim daily, have swum twice (though in my defence it has bee raining), was going to eat healthier, made a cheesecake Sunday, was out with a gf Thursday night eating truckloads of Tapas, guzzled 2 bottles of champagne, moved on to Expresso martini's, ended the night with a ciggie. Then the bad eating trifecta, did cocktails, sticky pork, a bag of flakes and a tub of popcorn and a movie last night. Now we move on to positivity. I was going to gossip less and focus on positive conversation, didn't even last 24 hours. The only goals left I haven't butchered are read a book once a month, walk daily and find a new work area.

What price range are you looking at? My house was $370000, and it is a manageable repayment. $500 per week. But on the downside I am not in the area I wanted to be in. This house in that area, even though my preferred area is 7 mins from me would be $600k!!

Blow coyness!!

We need regular updates!

Walk us through it. I would love a weekly report.

Unfortunately not on both accounts. Such a crap year.

Thank you! I am also doing some study.

Good to hear.

I think 2017 is the continuation of 2016. Another year of crap that I don't need in my life, lol.
