What's happened to you in the last year...

sunflower27 · 02-04-2011 06:02AM #1

that you never envisaged happening?

For me,

1. I got made redundant (I seriously thought I was safe!)

2. I got back with an ex from many years ago and split again (never go back, never, ever).

Positive

1. Am using my time off work to fulfil a long-held dream of scriptwriting. I never thought I'd actually do it!!!

I got engaged! My OH was never in to the idea of getting married but he changed his mind over the last year.

I found a job that I really like - didn't think that would ever happen

sunflower27 · 02-04-2011 06:12AM

Are you posting that on purpose to make me feel worse?:mad:

Congrats, really

Got made redundant.

Thankfully, I got a new job after 10 weeks.

ElleEm · 02-04-2011 09:45AM

Positive- I got cats! Always hated the little fuc*ers, and now I'm in love

Not so positive- I got diagnosed with MS completely out of the blue and then my body fell apart. Off work now almost 6 months but things are looking up and hope to go back soon.

Edit- "Hoping to go back to work"! Never thought that'd happen either

Vicxas · 02-04-2011 09:49AM

Negative - Got dumped, got back (BIG mistake)

Positive - Dumped her, met a fantastic girl, been together since july, got a job in Xbox.

Edit: Job isnt so great atm...

Kiera · 02-04-2011 09:56AM

Lost 2 stone, broke my ankle, was bridesmaid for my best buddy and my big sis passed away. Very up and down.

Have a hug *hug*

abouttobebanned · 02-04-2011 09:59AM

I made my girlfriend pregnant. I was always convinced that I couldn't have kids...mainly because of an old compaq laptop that used to rest on my lap and rise to temperatures not dissimilar to the sun. She's due in one month :-)

I've also become disillusioned with the industry I've worked in for the past 10 years. People will use you and build you up, and then rip you off.

I moved to a new stable job in January, bigger company, bigger prospects.

I finally got around to getting a provisional drivers licence.

Nothing much exciting has happened to me so far, but Im very content with how everything is at the moment anyways

Marcus_Crassus · 02-04-2011 10:12AM

Got into a pretty bad car crash, which I was lucky to come away from in one piece.

Met someone I really like.

Up-and-down really.

Up and down seems to be the theme here

Semiconductors?

CD. · 02-04-2011 10:40AM

in a really bad car crash. well, depends on how you define bad, car was destroyed/had to be cut out, we were fine

got a christmas job (first job ever!)

finished editing a novel (now, to find someone to hand me bags and bags of money for it) and started another

everything else was pretty mundane.

MonicaBing · 02-04-2011 10:43AM

Got a new job and was made permanent recently, delighted is not the word, but my fella's industry is fecked and he's not getting the contracts in, so he's moping and a bit disillusioned to be honest, so yeah it has been up and down!

LuckyMe63 · 02-04-2011 11:03AM

Moved back to Ireland after 3 yrs living in Hawaii - why oh why

As part of moving back drove from LA to Florida in a convertible & that was cool

Storminateacup · 02-04-2011 11:44AM

Negetive:
1 - My ex decided he hated me so much that he made my life unbearable. So nasty I didn't ever think there was a way out from it.

2 - My dog who was my boy and my best friend, had to be put to sleep. RIP baby

3 - I turned 22. 'Nuff said.

Positive:
1 - I realised how much time I had been wasting over people who didn't matter and who were just dragging me down.

2 - I cut the negetive people out of my life.

3 - Despite being 22, I can honestly say I had the best year -- and its because I changed things for me, thanks to the nasty ex. So I suppose he done me a favour.

4 - Got my dream job and loved it until I went back to college.

5 - Started a new course which I love and for the first time in my life, I'm excelling at something positive.

and the best?

6 - My baby is due in June and I could not be any happier.

Eve_Dublin · 02-04-2011 11:48AM

In the last year.....

Not a huge amount actually, thank jaysus. NO major tragedies or disasters.

Turned 30 (that's a biggy I suppose)
Saw one of my best friends get married
Fell for a guy who only wanted to be shag buds and went through major disappointment. Really read the situation completely wrong.
Decided to move from Spain to South America....then recently changed my mind again. I'm staying putt for the time being and I'm very happy here.
Spanish getting better bit by bit.
Found out brother and sister-in-law having a baby...but they live in the States...too far away!

Just to add, went on a date last night with a guy who I thought I wouldn't like that much but fancied. We had a great night. Incredibly nice guy and super brainy and sexy. He's a physicist! Mmmm brains...
