    Woke at about 9 am on January 1st. Had a leisurely breakfast followed by a walk. I'll not go into detail about the coffee break but the dinner was delicious turkey.
    Eldest granddaughter called that night and we had a great chat and a laugh.

    2nd Jan we visited friends living in the nearest town. Watched TV that night but there wasn't much on really.


    I'll come back with the rest of the review as time allows.

    A whole year is a lot to review.

    I'm still alive I suppose. 3/10.

    The joint worst year of my life so far.

    Had a poo.

    Stared at it.

    Opened too many mindless threads on AH.

    Went back to staring at the poo.

    It's been a year of skyscraping highs and periods of elation, mixed with hell reaching lows and bouts of doubt, uncertainty and hopelessness


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    It has been a delightfully average year, just the way i like em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Woshy


    Bought a gaf
    Husband knocked me up again
    Then Puked almost constantly for 3 months

    Also Went to a rake of weddings

    That pretty much sums up my year :)

    Started of great, 3, 4 then 5 concerts in January. Something to look forward to. A pick me up, a high would have lasted for life.

    July, they were cancelled. All down hill since then. No fun.

    Still alive, so everything as it should be and going to plan

    Thanks :) It was pretty good (apart from the puking!)

    3rd Jan was a Friday so we did the regular weekly shop. Dunne's was very quiet. We had lunch in town and visited some of the cribs.

    On 4th January it was more or less like any other Saturday. I washed the cars and then settled down in front of a lovely fire to do the crossword. Opened a new box of celebrations and had a few brandys.

    Back later with more.

    2014 sucked a massive bag of dicks keeping with the tradition of all the years I've been alive and I am in no doubt that 2015 will do likewise.

    Lost my job...........how careless of me,

    Got a job after a lot of soul searching, decided it was the year of me so new job is 3 days a week, suits me to have more time, down side no money but no big expenses any more, when busy step up to 5 days though,

    Spent 3 months in healthy programme, lost 3 stone in 4 months, still have it off..

    Spending 2014 with me myself and I, and the dogs, oh and himself

    just lost 11 hens to fox this week, 2 left so far, spent my summer watching them, after 4 years gonna miss them,

    Folks broke up after 50 years together, my new hours gives me more time with my mum,

    I am happy with my year, I spent 25 years working, had 2 jobs on occasion, commuted 4 1/2 hours a day in the end, and now it feels like a great big holiday.

    I work with tourists, so love my job - the year of me,

    I would highly recommend if you can, time rich but cash poor and life is good,

    I finally had/have time to carry out things I have always wanted to do, like go to Ballymaloe for lunch, (a cafe lunch mind you).

    I never thought I would survive loosing my job, Best thing to happen to me,

    2015
    Get fitter and be happy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,322 ✭✭✭The One Doctor


    + Baby due in a few days
    + Got good job and saved lots
    + Lost job, can help girlfriend with the first hard weeks, much more time for relaxing
    + Got better at cooking
    + Got better at sex
    + Painted a picture
    + Took up the guitar again

    - Got a spot on my nose in February. Cleared up a few days later.


  • Posts: 4,824 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    + Got a Masters degree
    + Got a job

    - Mental health crap
    - Still haven't gotten fit or lost any noticeable weight. For about the fifteenth year in a row.

    2014 was better than 2013 but not as good as 2012.

    Overall - a big fat meh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,978 ✭✭✭✭dgt


    +Graduated
    +Working towards a better future
    +Finally cutting down on the cars and sorting my act


    -Split up with mrs earlier this year
    -Still not in my own place
    -No immediate decent job lined up yet

    The year went by fairly fast


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 237 ✭✭The Adversary


    2012 was an amazing year for me. 2013 was awful, so this year has been a major improvement despite probably only being average in reality.

    For 2015, like all years, I hope for it to be a slightly above average year.

    • Got engaged
    • Quit the smokes - Asthma attack left me in hospital so no better time than when my chest was in pieces
    • Had to get 3 teeth taken out of me head, one because it grew sideways so my inner cheek and gum had to be sliced open. Surgery was grand because since I was knocked out and was loopy for a few hours afterwards but was spitting blood for a few days.
    • Went to Vegas and somewhere out in the sticks in a 70's Airstream camper in NY state for 2 weeks, going to biker bars and shooting ex-police combat shotguns with loud as fúck buckshots into piles of wardrobes and tables. Coming home from that made everything look boring to myself and the GF :D
    • Our 2 dwarf hamsters died, 1 of the degus died, and 1 of thee goldfish died.


    The highlights of an otherwise bland year, I'm pretty sure 2013 was too because I can't remember anything of worth from that year.............then again I can't remember what I was doing 15 minutes ago.
