Good thing = parent got all clear from cancer.

You?

to all of you for the crap bits. Lots of them are very sad.

Me,
Crap: DDog died age 12. DNewPuppy is a nightmare. DD has self-harmed (v v v upset about this). My bloody DMum's fucking, fucking, fucking boyfriend. My god, I fucking hate him! AND he's invited here tomorrow. Kill me now.
Good: DNewPuppy is very sweet. Made a new friend. Discovered home-made flavoured gin (yum!). DD did well in her GCSEs. Me and DSis are talking again (after 5 years of hurting each other)

I'm hoping to be hopeful for 2019... (and the joys of Brexit...)

Bad thing...had to move because of husbands job.
Good thing...got a puppy!

Crap thing: Cousin committed suicide

Good thing: I gave up an addiction

Bad - My lovely Mum had a stroke resulting in paralysis

Good - I passed my driving test

Bad: Grandad died
Good: Son born

Crap - friends that I thought were friends weren’t friends.

Good - passed my driving test, moved to a beautiful house in a beautiful village, started my own company which is thriving and the best thing was the birth of my long awaited baby boy.

On the whole 2018 has probably been the best year of why whole life.
for those who’s lost loved one

Lots of good and bad things this year 😱

Bad thing- lost my best friend in February
Good thing- losing her made me realise life is too short, so sleeted out issues I was having with dp and now we are stronger than ever

Bad - had to have my beautiful beloved cat pts due to advanced cancer. I miss her very much.

Good - I adopted a rescue cat called Ebony who is lovely, currently lying on the bed next to me..

Bad - someone that had only been in my life a relatively short time (2 or 3 years) but I liked a lot, committed suicide.

Good - don't know how to pick one. I guess the main one is my kids are very settled and happy at their university. But lots more.

Good thing - our son moved in on 3rd January (legally adopted him in May) so I've spent 2018 as a mummy to the most amazing little boy.

Bad thing - husband had a brief spell of unemployment at the same time that I was fucked over by work upon returning from leave (secondment terminated early)...worked out for the best though for both of us!

Good thing: new niece born earlier this year.

Good Thing: I'm back living at home with my dd and cat and feeling stable after a m.h crisis

Crap thing: Being passed over for a job I really wanted at my current employer despite having had an (acknowledged) exceptional year. I felt so hurt and unappreciated.

Bad thing my gorgeous funny clever uncle passed away suddenly.
Good thing my lovely friend had a gorgeous baby after ivf treatment.
