I can't wait for this year to be gone

Not the best year for me,roll in 2013  

Not what I was hoping for but hey..........

 

real life was total and utter crap...things can only get better  

  You lot.

 

Happy New year Ells 

An hour to go before 2012 is no more 

Have you seeeeeeen my puppy?! 2012 was a great year My mums got a fella too, after being a lonely widow for 17 long years! She's so happy, and I'm delighted for her

life changingly horrendous!!!!!!

 

there have been some good things, - dogs health improved, girl happy at uni, boy aceing school, MrD didn't get made redundant & was successful at his interview for his own job when the council outsourced his department.

 

my job became permanent, finally got the hard floors laid in the living room and got rid of the manky carpet I have hated for 8 years...   

 

Finances improved from previous year.

 

But on the whole..    its been a shit one.

 

2013 is gonna be the shittest on record I reckon...    

It was alright.

 

But my heart goes out to a few on here     

Not good for the last few months 

 

 

Good.... that's one improvement in itself 

awwww that lovely for your mum

  I really hope it's not Ditty

It pretty much goes without saying that this forum is a place where we can have a laugh and come to 'forget' our troubles no matter what's going on in life.

 

I'm glad to have it and glad to know other people have an outlet here aswell.

 

that's it in a nutshell Ells and I have met some fantastic real life friends through the forum...it keeps us all sane 

I wish for good things and happiness to all of you who've been going through a rough time

awww ditty   mines been about the same ups and downs

my hubby lost his job after 26 years my daugthers being ill ......lets try and hope 2013 will be better

Thanks Tina- she's 60 and jetting off to the Maldives this spring with her boyfriend! We had some right rubbish years after my dad passed, I love that she's smiling again

Was OK for  me, nothing startling, but nothing awful either - that'll do for me.       

 

Those who are glad to see it go - I hope 2013 is a much better one for you.

 

Ditts   just keep on doing what you're doing - hope 2013 isn't as awful as you fear.

 

Hear's to a good year for us all 

That is lovely Sweet.  I used to think my Mum in law would some day find a new man (separated nearly 20 years) but then she ended up raising her grandson so no time for looking for love now  Maybe some day though!

ooops...  sorry.....

 

I have been struggling with a bit of an emotional slump since xmas...  

 

She's doing ok at the moment (kinda...   bit like a leaky bucket, we plug up one hole and another leak springs...   not the cancer though...   stuff caused by the cancer treatment...   hard seeing her look so rough atm.)

 

HOWEVER...   she had the xmas she wanted....   and she's happy enough in herself...   

 

I need a new landmark to aim for...    think Mothers Day/her bday in April.       

 

anyways...    as you were peeps ... 

 

hope you all have good 2013's...    

Ditty I really do hope things turn around for your mum soon, it's lovely to hear that she's enjoyed her christmas

Ells, you just never know! My mums fella is also widowed with grown up children so they understand each other.. And neither was looking for someone special. Your MIL might meet someone yet

Well she has another 14 years of being a parent again so I know she won't be looking for it (like she didn't til her sons grew up) but you never know....it might just creep up on her  She'd love someone but she's too busy for now

 

Any wishes for the new year?

aww...  am watching the BBC1 recap of the year (waiting for the fireworks)...

 

and got goose bumps... 

 

has been a good year in terms of events etc...     

 

loads of wow moments...   

 

hahahaha...   including the nutter that parachuted from space 

And now in 2013 we'll get a day by day account of Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian's pregnancy.  I.  Can't.  Wait. 

ooooooh is Kim Kardashian preggers???

 

I did not know this 

Aye to Kanye   I've been reading for years that he's gay and she's paid to be his beard.

As one of m'friends on Facebook said..... "2012 can do one."

awwww...   A KK baby!!!   

 

Best comment about this was on twitter yesterday, someone wrote "18 years Kanye, 18 years, she got one of your kids, got you for 18 years"

 

 

As for 2012? Mine has been 'Meh' too, no big moments good or bad really.

Uh-uh for me too  

Well said.

 Class.

2012 has been mostly good. Major kitchen/hall renovation really tiresome at the time bit so worth it in the end. Lovely holiday to Crete - no major health dramas (mums always bad but she gets on with it) - stopped drinking and lost two stone. Family all well - two grand sons never cease to delight.

 

Looking forward to 2013.

Well.,...   after weeks of dark, wet, miserable weather, woke up today & it was all bright outside...  not a cloud in the sky, just a pleasant breeze... 

 

PERFECT New Years Day weather... 

 

funny how something like this can make all the difference to your mood... 

 

I feel ok today...    I'm not high kicking around singing show songs (apart from the odd Sound of Music song...  but that's another story ) but I am ok.

 

Even doing "an Aimee" and having the tumble dryer suddenly start making a god awful noise & dying on us hasn't bothered me - I just though "out of all the white goods that could go...  that's the one that we can live without, and is cheapest to replace"...  plus we've had it 8 years & only paid £80 for it!"

 

Soooooo...    so far, 2013 - not too bad! 

see... out of the pair of them...    gimme Kim any day.

 

Kanye - talented artist...   mahooosive dickhead of a person.

 

Kim - well yeah, I can see the flaws, but I'd rather have her round for dinner than him
