  1. people can be surprisingly good at hiding the fact they don't like you but when they slip up it is spectacular.

  2. people will always have a capacity for violence. in the face of thinking her partner was flirting with me an ex friend punched me full in the face

  3. having a job I hated was in fact better than not having one at all

  4. my family and DP are absolutely wonderful

If you try and pull your ex-boss, it's probably time to rethink your current relationship* Blush

Estate agents lie.

Set up direct debits for all of your bills if you are a bit crap at remembering to pay them on time.

Pay for parking by phone whilst in the car in the station car park and not wait until on the train and forget completely. Then pay the reduced fine within 14 days not 15 and have to pay full £80 fine instead. Arrghh!

to not try and hold onto people who really are NOT interested in you as a person at all even if it is your dad

And to keep up to the washing!!! Grin

Worrying about your child's health will not magically make them better

Change the work life balance and work less as at over 50 tomorrow may never come.

Spend less money than you have. Always. 2013 will be spent paying off the clumsy mistakes of 2012

When PILs say that DHs GPs are in hospital, they are dying but you have a while yet, drive immediately to say goodbye. Don't wait. Sad

I learnt where CHAT is.

It is possible to move your child to another school mid year, and it be very successful, because amazingly there is a choice and you don't have to put up with the upset.

Check your bank balance. Don't go overdrawn just because you're too much of a tit to keep on top of your finances and therefore get charged £70 by your bank.

Don't allow people at work to say shit that isn't true because they want to cover their backs.

Not taking enough leave from work will leave you shattered by year end - or more shattered than normal. Take a break from work!
