that every now and then a fanbloodytastic year comes along that makes you realise life is amazing after all. Last time was 1995, so it was a long time coming!

Maidamess · 28/12/2007 10:42

Not in the news, sorry!

TinyTimsGangGawdBlessUs1andAll · 28/12/2007 10:43

Well, your recent eyelash curler thread was a revelation cod. I've been curling away too now and batting my sexy lashes with abandon.

soopermum1 · 28/12/2007 14:01

that i wasn't a crap worker, i just had a crap manager. took a new boss and ousting of previous boss and previous boss's boss to realise that.

oh yes, and i now know that life's too short for grudges, and that someone's rudeness to me is not a reflection on me but just makes the rude person look like an idiot. so i don't get bothered any more if someone 'disses' me.

this year, am extending my zen-like attitude to those w***s that play music with no headphones on the bus. that's gonna be a difficult one

HappyWoman · 28/12/2007 14:35

Loads about myself and that i am going to continue next year.

Infact that i am never going to stop asking myself questions.

Anna8888 · 28/12/2007 15:17

That very cold weather makes me utterly miserable (however warmly I dress), but that not everybody else feels that way at all.

That taking a lot of exercise does not necessarily do me much good. I'm better off with extra sleep.

That I would actually feel quite happy as well as wistful as my daughter learnt to speak and grow out of babyhood.

That lots of people really aren't very nice at all, even "underneath".

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 28/12/2007 15:20

Courtesy of mumsnet some words I never knew before - eg 'fanjo' ( VERY usfeul!!! - why is this word not mainstream?) and also what a moon cup is.
I also, now now how to blow-dry my fringe straight, which if i had known as a teenager would have changed my life, but now just gives me quiet satisfaction

My husband shags silly young females.

Having exH as a boss is not going to be easy.

My kids will amaze me more and more each year.

That second packet of crisps eaten with dips will make me feel quite ill, every time I do it.

I am allright!
