I've stopped smoking this year, lost weight and put it all back on, but kept off the fags.  Next year I will concentrate on the weight

Not been the best of years. The changes have certainly made me appreciate things more, but here's hoping 2010 is a good year, for everyone.

One good change this year has been that we've been able to move to a new forum, here  Not been thrown to the four corners of cyberspace

Sorry to post and run, was away nattering...I tell you what I've learned tonight, it aint half interesting how loose tongues can get after a few vinos Find out all sorts!

Thanks for the replies thus far. I want to pack in the ciggies too (only cos I cant find anyone local who can get them cheap), dont think I'll manage it before NYE so will have to look at it (again) next year.

Sorry to hear it's been a bit rubbish for you Baz, here's to 2010 being a blast *clink clink* x

A bit carp, financially. Stressful, smoking more than ever!

Concise and to the point Lilibet! Anything different planned for next year or more of the same?

My life has turned round completely in the last year. Its been a great year for me as a person and now i am looking forward to xmas and my future. The highlights of this year for me was my friends and seeing my lovely boys take that. Next year i hope to stalk take that more

 The future's bright.. the future's Mrs Orange!

yessss

That's ace Gypsie

Slinki!

*** turns webcam off ***

More of the same I should think, Karma.
I'm incapable of planning a piss-up in the proverbial!

I'm not bad if it's a party for one Ohhhh GOD I cant wait to have a drink again It's been 4 months. 4 MONTHS. I was even gonna go Church and take Communion to get a quick slug, but I wasn't allowed out of the bloody house

4 months??

Are you allowed any over Christmas?

No It'll be late Jan at the (very) earliest. Before I got sick I was getting good at handling my ale down the pub on a Friday, now I'm gonna be Camden's failure *sobs* Amy Winehouse will bash me out of the way with her beehive and crush me like an ant

but - cheap date!

Cheap date will be pleasing to a certain someone's ear!

had my first holiday in 15 years
got my son into an ace school so he is doing well
fell out with dad...made up again
got up the duff!

interesting year lol! taught me a few things...patience being the main one i think!

hope next year will be a good one.

I'm glad you made up with your dad, Darth x Sounds like it's been a good one for ya Long may it continue 

We've had a very challenging year, financially and emotionally but not for the first time anyway, but it all get's very wearying at times. Personally I won't be glad to see the back of this year even though I've learnt some interesting things from good online friends which I appreciate.

What happened this year - oh yeah the wife left

My life was very same same this year. Nothing spectacular happened but then nothing disastrous either. Next year......well I HOPE that's gonna be totally different  

I had the worst year I have ever had this year , was horrid. Can't wait until 2010 begins. Hope it brings more luck than this one did

Hope the same for everyone here too

Well 2009 was a heck of a year for me...I know none of you know coz I've kept it so quiet and all, but I became a mum in April

That has completely changed EVERYTHING!  I've no time to look to the past or the future, getting through the here and now and the stress of trying to keep him away from the Christmas tree is keeping me too busy to fret about things I can't control.

All in all 2009 has been a very strange year, but a very good year too in so many ways.  I'm a lucky gal to have all I have and whatever 2010 brings, as long as I have my hubby and my son with me we'll all be okay

That's not really an answer is it

awww Angelic

I've discovered that I don't get on too well in even numbered years...I seem to fair better in the odd numbers

You shoud of told us....  ,

I had a few stinking years a few years back, now I work on the theory
if I'm not in that situation again , then it's been a good one, which it has.

Just a bit

I always consider April 6th or thereabouts as the end of the year.
However, I retired and ended up being busier than ever.

For me it hasn't been one of those years with a particular landmark event.  There have been good things and bad things.  For me, the best thing was probably giving up my horrible job.

Had the weirdest and most wonderful year ever. Spent the first eight months being pregnant and a bit miserable and the last last four months being a very happy mum. Only real negative has been that my ME seems to have made a return and my arthritis is getting worse. Still, can't have everything I suppose. Hopefully we'll move over to North Yorks next year so hubby won't spend so much time commuting and I might get a more sensible house.

 For anyone who's had a bit of a rubbish year. Hope 2010 will be happy for all.

 hoping you have a happier 2010 Norfolk

Temps did you have a baby???

This last year has been the worst for me yet, in every way. Some of you know the full ins and outs and I wont bother going into great depth, but I just hope that next year brings some kind of lasting happiness.

Have learnt a couple of harsh lessons this year, especially where friendships are concerned, but all it's done is teach me not to make the same mistakes again. Not worth staying bitter about.

a bad start in Jan and went down hill from that - finally I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel so have high hopes for 2010 - still    as there were a few nice things along the way as well 

Karma - didnt realise you had health problems   hope you are on the mend and you soon get that much needed drink  

Hopefully so.  I'm looking for a wife and kids as I'm very strange and lonely. 

Cheers Mrs H, I'm alright though, as long as I can still moan about something I know it's not all bad

oh, for next year, I'd  like to go on holiday... not been for ages, so that would be nice I'd like some other stuff too, but thats not gonna happen
