To ask what has made your year?

[buddhasbelly]

For me it has been:

• my colleague who I once didn't get on with getting my daughter some lovely Christmas presents

-my work putting me in line to get funded Phd -my family having a get together this year after some rubbish times

My daughter being born

That's a cracking one!

• My best friend finally breaking free of alcohol and getting the help she needs.
• My close mate meeting a wonderful woman and getting the family he's always wanted.
• My partner who frankly I still can't believe exists but he does.

My son being born

My partner asking me to marry him after six years together (which I realise isn't that long in the scheme of things but has felt like a long time as I've wanted to marry him from almost the moment I met him!)

DS settling into secondary school (the first term, last year was a disaster and I thought we were going to need an urgent rethink- and £15000 a year more income to go independent). He’s now comfortable in the school and achieving what he is capable of.
DSDad rediscovering his zest for life. He’s been a bit stuck in a rut and I was worried about him. He took a punt on a holiday with us, loved it and has done a few more trips since.

Getting involved in Woolly Hugs and feeling that my knitted squares, however small and plain compared to others, would be making a difference.

Finding a local, part-time job in a lovely environment with people that i like.
I've worked so many bad jobs with bitchy colleagues so i really appreciate this place.
Such a shame its only temporary.

Getting married and falling pregnant with our 4th baby pretty much at the same time 😂

My dcs coping with massive changes in their lives.

These are all lovely and we making me feel fuzzy

That was supposed to be a smiley face!

Getting a new job with lovely supportive colleagues. I also had a surprise house move in a more ideal location and it's my first ever house as I had always lived in flats prior to that.

My beautiful dsis got married this year and I was chief bridesmaid and now have a lovely BIL.

My grandson being born. I have two ds in their 40s who have no children and I wasn't' sure if I would ever be a grandmother but my dd who is 25 had her first baby this year and I am besotted with him.

Time for a wonderful Christmas.

*my parents finally getting into a stable financial situation after being through bankruptcy
*my new job in a big corporate company actually turning out to be with the warmest & nicest colleagues i've ever worked with
*the DCs getting a little bit more independent and a lot more fun

Getting married to a wonderful man.
Big promotion at work

My husband had a successful kidney transplant and is no longer on dialysis.

• Eloping
• DH and I getting significant promotions
• DH starting PhD and becoming happier because of this

My beautiful daughter being born in June this year.

My son got a place in a speech and language unit at school and doing amazing.

Became an auntie to my beautiful niece

Buying a house.

Having ds home from uni in the summer and booking a last minute holiday for all of us which was absolutely brilliant!

For once thoroughly enjoying being the centre of attention at a family get together for my 70th birthday.

Raising money for the charity School In A Bag. (I knit and sell)

Happy 70th Mountain!

He has. And so has he
