Pleased 2024 is almost over. What are you hoping for in 2025?

[whatshoukdido]

Anyone else had a crap 2024 and hoping 2025 is better for them? What are you hoping for?

No drama would be lovely!

I've had a crap 2024. We've had:

In laws having more health issues as getting older but being more difficult to deal with
Loads of illnesses
Started new year job at beginning of the year and really didn't enjoy it but I've finally come round to it
Struggled to conceive
Conceived then miscarried
Had RPOC after surgical management for miscarriage which left me feeling ill, even after RPOC finally left my body, it left me feeling run down
DH booked a lovely trip to DLP which had to cancel and rebook as DC fell ill with chickenpox
Rebooked DLP for all of us to be I'll again anyway and pick up new bugs while we were there
DH's work has been fucking stressful
DH working through some health issues at the moment

2024 can fuck right off for all I care

Hoping for a better 2025 too. There has been so much illness and worry in 2024.

Less death and illness would be fantastic.

Peace and better health

No family or close friends deaths would do for me and for all my pets to make it through to the end of the year too.

Peace and acceptance
Continued progress with coming to terms with past traumatic stuff
HRT to settle down - fewer / no perimenopause symptoms

Not dying in a nuclear war will do me just fine. Ten years ago that would have seemed a low bar, but here we are. Bonus if the US does not ban the polio vaccine and Nigel Farage decides to fuck off (permanently, as opposed to his current 99.7% of the time not serving his constituents) to absolutely anywhere.

I would do anything in the world for my seriously ill health situation to improve. That's it. 😀

2023 was an awful awful year for me, too much to even begin to explain. I decided 2024 was going to be a good year and the majority of it has because I put my needs first and did what made me happy..2025 I intend to do the same

Working on my health and fitness. Been lazy with both this year but been stressed with DP having a stroke.

2024 started with me moving into my beautiful new home but it’s been a lonely year for me. I’ve spend most of it alone so I’m hoping to change that.

I had a cancer scare and surgery so good health, having company and being happy is all I really ask for.

2024 saw me complete cancer treatment. It’s made me think about my future.

Pretty sure I’m changing jobs this year; in fact changing career after 25 years - it feels like it’s time for a change.

Possibly getting married. I’ve never wanted to but with the heath issues I’ve had it seems the right thing to do with DP to help sort our finances out and make all things joint. (Realising my sister is my NOK was a bit of a sobering thought. We get on really well but that should be DP whom I’ve been with for 13 years).

Other than that; I’d just like my friends and family to be healthy and happy. I’ve had too many bereavements recently.

No bereavements and a contract renewal at work please.
Lost 2 relatives and a friend this year and I can't cope with any more.

To finally live on my own with my cats in peace. I haven't been alone since I was 19.

Ds age 36 back and forth three times since age 22. Now has a good job and fiancee and looking at properties.

Dd age 30 backwards and forwards between here and her gf mum. Good job too. Needs to move out properly.

If I can downsize to a nice one bed bungalow or house with a little garden and a driveway for my new car I d be happier. Could go part time too. Have had the flu from hell last month and worked through it. Still not right. I m 57 next Month and can't see me sustaining this past 60.

I m in home counties so it's all a money thing about housing.

To get fit again. Was very close to feeling good and strong and iost a lot of weight before the flu hit.

The EA will find someone to buy my flat at last.

As for everything else, it depends.

I’m hoping for a year with no drama, no upset and instead a whole heap of happy times. Got a couple of nice trips planned and currently trying to resist a new pup.

I just want to be happy for one damn year of my life really.

Bonus points for being able to find out where my brother was laid to rest.

I've had a lot of change in 2024. In January we were given 8 weeks notice to move out of our rented house. Then work got a bit crap and I felt I had to look for a new job and in May my not so 'd'p strangled me during an argument so we split up. However, my new house is nicer than my last one, my job ended up being a promotion and a much less toxic environment and in August I was introduced to a wonderful man who has shown me how relationships should be...loving, calm and kind.

So as much as 2024 has been a tough one I have learned a lot, been dragged out of my comfort zone and ended up in a far better place than I was in December 2023. In 2025 I'm hoping for stability in all areas of my life and good health for my loved ones.

Worst year of my 50 years of life.

Constant feeling of illness thanks, we think, to menopause.
Dad been poorly and had two ops.
DD in constant pain due to endo and severe emetophobia which has destroyed her mental health.

I'd love for a healthy 2025.

This year has proved that nothing matters really, if you're well.

2024 has been awful, lost my lovely Mum, 5 deaths in the wider family including a suicide.
Hurt my knee and elbow, knee nearly better but elbow still hurting weeks later. DH slipped on wet floor and fractured his left hip so he's had a hip replacement and is still on crutches.
UK holiday didn't happen (due to above).
Car needed 4 new tyres, new brakes (£700+) then also spark plugs and burnt out ht cable so that's cost a bomb.
I just need 2025 to be better than that really.

In 2023 I lost one sibling, in 2024 another sibling gone 😔. In 2025 I would like no more deaths in the family.

I'm hoping to lose the final stone by the end of Feb
Tone up my middle and back
Then I'm going to have a breast reduction.
2025 is going to be me putting myself first.
