(Lighthearted) Today is 1st December- the last month of the decade...

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

...what is one thing you wanted to do in this decade but couldn't or didn't?

Vote for a stable alternative to conservatism.

I didnt get round to creating one 5-year plan, let alone two.

Buy a house - everything else is going reasonably swimmingly but there's still a nagging feeling that our life is extremely precarious

Have a life.

It's seriously been a shit decade, started positively and went downhill be glad to see back of it and especially this year which has been particularly crap.

Remain in the EU.

Its been a really bad decade for politics and the environment, hasn't it.

Keep my basic rights as a woman.
Find a job within my travelling distance.
I failed to turn my garden into an allotment, thanks to all the local cat hoarders who wont stop 'rescuing' cats or buying kittens.

But is it? Surely the next decade starts on January 1st 2021, same as the new millennium actually started on 1st Jan 2001, but the world (mostly) chose to ignore it and celebrate a year early. Because there was no ‘year zero’, the dating system went from 1BCE to 1AD. And that is only one system of dating, there are others in the world where the current year is not 2019. Just a thought.

Yeah I would say the next decade starts 2021 too ...

Blimey, this was a lot less serious on FB where I stole it from

Many more mentions of long lost celebrity loves, holidays and fun, than quibbling over dating technicalities

Delighted to see that in only a handful of responses there are already two saying it's a year early. That's all I came here to say!

Still haven’t written that bloody book.

Otherwise, it’s been an eventful decade. Several new jobs, new house, lots of travel. Oh, and I end the decade with a different husband to the one I started it with

Still haven't found that new job!

Is your book about finding a new job?
