We all start the year as we mean to go on, but how many of you have dropped the New Year resolution ball already?

That's why we like setting goals that we're sure to hit. Like these:

- I WILL tell the hairdresser that she has done a crap job when she shows me the back of my head in the mirror. 

- I will put on enough weight to get on 'The Biggest Loser', 'cos I'd walk it. 

- I will buy my lottery tickets from a much luckier shop. 

- I will stop saying LOL outloud...

What's the most inventive and unorthodox resolution you've ever heard?
