New Years Resolutions Top Ten

Here it is folks, the final poll of 2010. And of course the final poll of 2010 is one that is all about 2011!!!! We have added how we can help with that resolution :)

1. Stop smoking - will power is really what is needed to succeed at this one but why not help Mr. W. Power and get sponsored by your friends and family. Each day you don't smoke they can contribute to your fund. So this way you are achieving resolution 1, 4, 8 and 10!!!

2. Get fit - sign up for a marathon or sporting event as your motivation. Get sponsored and get friends and family involved. Brill, that ticks off resolution 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10.

3. Lose weight - make losing weight easier by not just dieting but exercise so why not encorporate resolution 2 into your plan. You have now achieved resolutions 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10.

4. Enjoy life more - what better way to get the 'feel good' factor than helping others. Maybe you could use 7 and 10 in your plan.

5. Quit drinking - Get sponsored by your friends and family for each week you are away from the demon booze. That way you are killing 2 birds with 1 stone by completing 5 and 10.

6. Get organised - de-clutter your life. Get together with friends and family and have a garage sale. You will be amazed at how one man's junk is another man's treasure. Donate the proceeds to a charity and hey presto, resolutions 4, 6, 9 and 10 sorted.

7. Learn something new - the possibilities here are endless whether you want to try your hand at space flight or baking! Either way, learning something new can only enrich your life. My advice - GO FOR IT! And to really make it worthwhile rope in a friend or two to join you and if it's baking that is your new thing, have a cake sale of your wares and well, look at that, you have just completed resolutions 4, 7, 9 and 10.

8. Get out of debt - hmmm, this is a tricky one as there is not usually a quick fix solution. But what you can do is take baby steps in your quest. Maybe by learning a new skill you could improve your income (resolution 7)? If you are a smoker, then achieving resolution 1 will certainly improve your outgoings (€8.50 a pack....ouch!).

9. Spend more time with family - organising a charity event will certainly bring your friends and family together. Rather than looking at it like a task, make your event FUN! Laughter is surely the best medicine so the more fun you have the better you will feel. We here in Homelink just love whacky fundraising ideas so drop us a line and let's get laughing. That's a minimum of 4, 9 and 10 done!!!

10. Help people - 10 is the magic number. CALL US!!!
