Bouldering - Enter the Dragon,Tremeirchion.
Sport- maybe my Dulas proj if it feels a bit easier and is dry.

Main goal is to buy a house with a garage so I can build my own board  :-*

You and Dense moving in together finally?

So go for the home garage board... I find mine more fun than climbing outside, and I'm not in a relationship with Dense... Before you ask.

He's all teeth and he bullies me. He keeps telling me I've got Stockholm syndrome and won't let me out in case I hurt myself.

Thanks!  I imagine the first few days on it will involve very little climbing, instead much falling, screaming, whimpering, cursing, and whining. 

Sounds good.  It looks like I may be able to line up a few different work trips down to bend, which would make this a much nicer goal :)

Routes- Incorporate falls into every session (the most important)
           -Onsight more E5s and shit loads more E4s
           -Headpoint more E7s
            -Ground-up/Onsight some E6s
            -Get back into soloing and get loads of mileage in (don't go nuts)
            -Some 7Cs. Perhaps start working an 8a.

Bouldering- Keep plugging away to keep technique and strength

General- Fingerboard 3/4 days per week
              Stop being a faggot about shoulder injury

2. Get the biggest, spongiest mat for my birthday

Trips planned: Chulilla in Jan (onsight 7b+)

That's one aim in the bag; congrats in advance! I had a good fortnight at Chulilla in November.  Either the grades there are very soft, or a lot of the classic routes are just incredibly well-suited to on-sighting (at least if you can recover on decent holds).

However, there are three 7b+s (I think) next to each other (Rock Punk etc) at El Algarrobo that are nails to onsight with hard boulder problems.

True, there are a few tricky to on-sight routes.  I didn't try the ones you mentioned - the off-the-deck difficulties were all too apparent!  And, the route that took me the most goes all holiday was a 7a+ with a bouldery finish (in the Sex Shop area I think).  But most of the classic 7cs and 7c+s I tried were long and steady - tricky sections interspersed with jugs - which suited my style of on-sighting.

Get registered as "visually impaired" i've probably been in denial for the last 6 months,hoping things get better.They won't.
Get assessed for this MS bollocks and consider my treatment options.
Quit smoking.Again.

Fix garden shed.
Get tree in back garden cut down.

Dark Matter stand at Sampson's Stones and tidy up some other bits and bobs from last time.
Morning Afterglow and tons of other stuff at Torridon.
Summer in Shetland.

I would regard that as a good year.Off to Harris now for a week of rain,gales and doubtlessly fail on my project over there........oh and to be more positive this year ;D
Merry Xmas all :)
