How was your 2015?

Gael23

I had some health worries in 2014 and that continued into this year but on track with that the last few months.
Got an opportunity to return to college unexpectedly which has brought challenges, good and bad.
Overall, wasn't perfect but an improvement on 2014.

Lights On

Pretty ****, but the tail end did start to pick up a small bit so that's something I guess. It's all been going downhill since 2010!

It was alright.

I had a great year, well much better than 2014.in all departments.

Thats how I feel about it. Wouldn't go as far as great. I was glad to see the back of 2014 but don't feel like that this year

2015 was better than 2014.

Part of me doesn't think it was great or anything like it but in the overall scheme of things I have nothing to complain about

molly09

Looking forward to 2016 with a mixture of hope and worry!

Let's just say that 1999 was much better than 2014/15

Awful year. The worst of my life so far. Everything that could go wrong did. There was no let up leading to me becoming quite unwell. Luckily 2016 is looking better already. A few nice events due to happen.

It was a very mixed year for me.

It begin with a horrible row between my ex and myself. We broke up two weeks later. Much of my training was becoming increasingly difficult and I was losing confidence in my ability. My mam was spending her first year away from us in a nursing home. There was more disappointment on the love front.

Finishing my masters and handing in my thesis were huge positives for me. I was finally on the road with my career. I made some really great friends and had some lovely experiences. I lost weight and was feeling good about how I look. Still am Life settled into a nice steady pace for me. My social life blossomed. Unfortunately I am once again beginning 2016 on a not so great foot as I have been dealt a disappointment.

Luckily I'm a tough 'ol bird

Looking forward because 2015 was tougher than many that preceded it.

A better year on every level. I work as a lift attendant.

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Pretty good. Finished a long course of study (finally) and landed my first proper job which o enjoy a lot. Also got more involved with my best mates young son and my sister in laws baby. So that's nice. O and got a new car, the first one I bought all on my own and that cost more than 1000 quid. Roll on 2016.

In that case you will be busy tonight picking many a folk up off the ground. Fair play to you kiddo.

the evasion_kid

was fairly "yawn" for me....im a firm believer if your life gets in anyway mundane you need to shake it up quick,ill be getting 2016 of to a good start and satisfying some nomadic tendencies.

YungKeo

My 2015 was the same as any other year, plenty of highs and plenty of lows.

There were a few highs, and plenty of lows, so overall, 2015 can go fcuk itself, to be perfectly honest. I'm hopeful that 2016 will be better; and I wish you all a happy new year.

mzungu

It was very uneventful, which is no bad thing in itself.

ballyharpat

I had an eye opening 2015, had an injury due to stress that had me out of work for 3 months, went back to work and cut back to 2 days a week. Went to a continent to get closure on a relationship-I did get what I needed, I started a new very successful business, I bought a spanking new car-after I crashed my other one . I made some very good friends, a big one, I chose to allow a member of my family back into my life and it has been brilliant.
I would say overall, it was one of my worst years as regards terrible things happening , but it's what I did different that made it a great year, I have become more relaxed, I am more comfortable with who I am, I am more accepting and tolerant of other people and I have given up trying to control situations. I look forward to traveling in 2016 and spending more time hanging with friends and family.

Dirty Dingus McGee

****ing Dreadful.

My granny died, my uncle died my granddad has aged dreadfully in the last few months so sadly I'm not holding out much hope for him lasting too much longer.

I now have to pay a decent part of my mother and fathers mortgage for a while or else they'll be kicked out of the house which means I can't move out of the house and could be stuck there for a good while longer.To be honest my life has got progressively worse since I've left college my 20's have easily been the worst decade of my life and I'm not expecting my 30's to be much better.

Still at least I have my health and I have a job so I suppose it could be worse.

KungPao

May as well be erased from my memory to be honest. 1 or 2 good things, 1 or 2 bad things, **** load of mediocre.

Really fooking hope 2016 is better.

WomanSkirtFan8

2015 for me was fairly average tbh. just hope that 2016 will be a lot better.

Fleawuss

Work was awful. Had a holiday in a dream destination that's been on my bucket list and it was just perfect. The marriage referendum was extraordinary and just closed one part of my life. It was my nunc dimittis.
Especially for the religiously minded among you.

EmptyTree

2015 was a vast improvement on 2014 that's for feckin sure! Hopefully things will get a bit better for 2016.

Canterelle

Bad year, but not the absolute worst. Be good 2016

ChunkyLover54

Highs of 2015:

- Went back to college after 10 years to do something I'm genuinely interested in.
- First year in quite some time that I feel I really made the most of.
- My nephew was born.

Lows:

- Experienced some rather terrible romantic heartache.

Larry the Logster

Okay, but turning 40 in Q1 2016, so a bit sorry to see 2015 end and move closer to that.

Leogirl

Best+ worst of my life. Had my baby but got cancer 3 weeks before giving birth. She's amazing+ I'm so lucky to have her but cancer sucks. This day last year I was making a baby, this year I'm at home trying to be positive+ dreading another round of chemo next week. All in all, its been sh*t! Except for her.

That's really bad ...I hope you get better and beat it.

madmaggie

Glad to see the back of it, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Witchie

One of the worst years of my life but had moments of fantasticness.

I nearly lost my brother, our whole family was torn apart by his illness and it was a monumental struggle to keep us all sane.

I had my heart trampled on and torn to a million pieces in a way that has left me unsure if I can ever trust a guy again.

But on the upside, I got my ordinary and then honours degree 20 years after I should have.

My eldest finished his degree and got a good job and my youngest discovered his love of playing music which has brought a whole new dimension of happiness to his life. They also turned 21 and 18 this year so technically I am no longer responsible for them. Yay!

I learned during the sh*t times of this year that I have an amazing bunch of friends who basically kept me alive.

So f off 2015 you were a total sh*tbag in some ways but I learned that no matter what life throws at me, with good family and friends I can survive.

2016.....please be nicer to me.

Thanks.

osarusan

Not bad.

I re-regged 798 times, which easily beat my 2014 total, but my hopes for 2016 are even higher.

goz83

Was full of pain, misery and pestilence. Such is marriage

Rubbish year. Had a number of health scares and missed around 3 months of work. And it has cost me a small fortune financially and still on medication. Really hope 2016 is better.

It was bittersweet.

Very best wishes to you and I hope everything works out. Having a new baby is tough at the best of times but in your situation it must be both a blessing and a burden.

I'm sure and I hope you have lots of love and support around you which you should draw on as much as you can.

Happy New Year to you and yours.

wetlandsboy

Mixed bag for me. Turned 40, sold a house at no real loss, and gained a life in doing so. Had some heath problems that were entirely related to stress at work. Visited cool countries (China, Japan, France, etc.) through work. Published a lot of papers and book chapters, started earning some serious money, and have some PhD students who will become Drs this year. All in all not so bad. Roll on 2016.

ShamoBuc

Rather crappy 2014, pretty crappy 2015 aswell, really hoping for an uncappy 2016.

AndyBoBandy

Wonderful

My son was born, and it was a truly beautiful moment of my life.

starry_eyed

It was quite unusual all in all. It consisted of 12 months and those months were full of days. Sometimes it was rather dark, sometimes it was rather light. It could have been wet, it could have been dry. People came and went - a distant memory of fog. It ended shortly and will begin again, timelessly.

DEFTLEFTHAND

It's was terrible, one of my worst years and that's saying something.

R.D. aka MR.D

It was pretty good.

I realised the career I had thought was the one for me for the past 3 years, isn't for me. Don't want to do it anymore.

Got engaged. Decided to move home. Since these two, 2015 has been about saving to come home and change careers in one fell swoop!

2015 will always be the year that I learned that you can't trust people because people change. I used to always trust my gut instincts about people but got it seriously wrong but on the bright side if that hadn't of happened, I'd probably not have realised it was time to come home.

Overall, 2015 gets an 8 out of 10.

2016 is going to be super exciting though! (and stressful:o)

Bongalongherb

A birds-eye view.

It looks like I'm the only one left standing clinging on to 2015, or should I say lying Bentley sideways looking at this big monitor.
All I can say at this time is... I have 1 bottle left of Sternthaler Gluhwein mulled wine @ 9.5% and I continue forward in my endeavour.

I have no idea how I done that.

Now the morning comes crawling in and I feel like this below with the alcohol wearing off. It was nice while it lasted. Well worth the effort I must say.

How was your 2015?

All in all not bad, but I wish it deleted.

brokensoul84

Dire year-technically I shouldnt be alive with what happened during the year. I am single after 11 years, not currently living with my children and living with family at moment. Add to this 3 stays in a psych ward- one lasting nearly 10 weeks. Feckinh awful year

I seriously hope 2016 is a better year for everyone.

Well I hope this year will be better for you. Focus on the good things and progress forward as best you can, sure that's what most folk try to do but easier said than done, but we all have to keep on moving just like Bob Marley said.

r93kaey5p2izun

I know that this time last year I posted that 2014 had been the joint worst year of my life so far. Genuinely didn't think it could get any worse but expected certain difficult situations to continue being a problem. Well 2015 was far worse than I imagined and I'm looking towards 2016 with fear and worry.

Ha! That was weird Bonga! I think I just saw the inside of your brain :pac:

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

2015 was a good year all round, I suppose. A new grandchild was the highlight. Generally a quiet year - just as we like it.

A couple of lows. Lost old friends. But such is life.

Yes, all in all, a decent year.

Bob_the_dog

Up n down,

Lows: Finally accepted we'll never have kids, took many years to accept, trouble continued in work from 2014 to 2015, now settled down thankfully.

Highs: decided we'd get a second dog (ex Carlow puppy farm), turned out she was up the duff and she delivered a surprise to us 5wks later. Gone from 1 dog to 3 dogs in about 5 wks. House now bloody mental always, The pup never sleeps and is awake at 6 every morning. As someone said it's like having kids without the college fees or children's allowance.
Completed by first marathon after loosing 2 stone. Great way to distract from work sh#t

Wishes for 2016: continued good health and finally get around to renovating grandparents old house and move in.
