Dear chums
What is your highlights if 2017.
I have had so many and met some truly amazing people , thank you all for your time and company. Many more splendid times to come.
My stand out highlight though is
I met up with a very dear friend for lunch and a chuckle . It was some thing with some one I thought I may never have again .
So what's yours ?
Taff and Pooch xx |

I graduated. I completed 3 OCR events and got a really cool special medal.
My little nephew was born. My sister adopted a little girl.
There have been some bad bits. But I can't focus on them. I need to move forward and remember what I have. |

I have many, but more noteworthy is finding peace with some old demons.

Happy New year all. |

Music, Getting to see both The Senseless Thing's reunion gigs
Sport, it's a toss up between doing my first duathlon and the fun that was Liverpool Rock n Roll half marathon
But pretty much everything is eclipsed that after a year beset with illness, injury and quite scary health scares me and my girlfriend are both finishing the year fit and healthy  |

"I just seen a fox at the bottom of the garden that's made my year "
As long as you didn't have any hens in yer garden....then it's feck off ya feckers and go and forage for food elsewhere.
Foxes are cool in the right environment and can be taught a few tricks, afterall they are part of the dog genus  |

5 day road trip to Croatia with some of the craziest and loveliest fools I’ll ever know. Nearly killed me but I’ll never the good times and the people I met. Life is about chaos and connection. Being on 2018! |

It's been a tough year. There have been many arduous times but also moments that have made me stop and shake off the grumpy old bleak cloud over me and cherish the good occasions that do happen. Some with friends but also on my own. Hopefully next year will make the good ones outweigh those that are not so. |

A strange one for me.
My long term partner (sex only) told me he loved me-definately loved me.
Took me aback and I panicked a bit when I read the text. But, it didn't change anything between us except the sex got even better, and it was pretty amazing already. |

Don't be grumpy. Be glad to be alive. |

It's been a year of mostly stress on all fronts but two things stand out first seeing my daughter graduate with first class honours from uni and second the genuine friends I have made on fab it may have started of as a quick fix but it has become part of my life and I love it thank you xx |

2017 hasn't been a great year but it hasn't been awful either
Highlights included :
Seeing someone come out of their shell, kick off the anxiety and awkwardness that had ruled them for too long and graduate with first class honours and bag a £25k first job
Having the balls to walk away from a healthy salary and decide 2018 is about me being happy rather than being the corporate me 24/7
Visiting Jersey for the first time (I loved it)
Ending the year with Mum & Dad still being here (there's been a few dodgy times this year)
An unexpected PPI payment (they had initially refused it 4 years ago and then, out of the blue wrote to say they had got it wrong)
Downsides have been :
Sellers pulling out of a house sale at the last minute
Finding out my niece is in an abusive relationship
Two close friends having serious heart attacks
So yeah, it's been a mixed old bag this year x |

My highlights have been :
In January - separating from my husband who I had been with since I was 19
Good and bad inbetween but ended the year having the most amazing intense orgasm I have ever had (amazing highlight)
Went to some amazing conventions. Saw Rachel Stamps reunion show. |

I do a bit of motorsport and have won a couple of championship races this year including driving up to Scotland to compete and winning the big one there. Loved standing on that top step!. My father had not long had a major cancer op too and he was there to see it. Hope I made him proud!!!. |

Realising, finally, that I am a strong girl and when I put my mind to something I can do it and I can do it alone.
My babies who I love with all my heart, they make me so very proud with their love and resilience.
My girls, who through all of my drama, pain, tears and laughter they have been there to scoop me back and make me feel whole again.
Finally my beanstalk who I adore muchly. |

In real life. I make something, and I think it's rather good. Someone else thinks it's good enough to sell it to the public for me, so that's a big thing.
Here on Fab, there lots of highlights, some that didn't even happen, with quite a few wonderful people. One that stands out is seeing a lot of you all in Manchester in the Summer. That was a surprise. |

In event order: not order of importance.
Retiring at 56 with enough money to do so and help my children.
Two weeks in Sardinia with an amazing group of friends.
The birth of two more grandsons.
Getting the all clear that my diabetes has indeed gone.
Ben actually saying the "l" word.
In one incredible day having three meals in three different countries: breakfast in Spain, lunch in Portugal and dinner at home.
Seeing my children and their families happy and settled.
Accepting no one is perfect: and they don't need to be, myself included.
2017 was awesome for me...excited about the year ahead! |

It's been a roller-coaster year but many highlights. I helped my best friend through her chemotherapy and she's doing good now. My dog got the all clear from tests for cancer after surgery and my beautiful mum recovering well from a broken hip. All health related worries that have turned out okay. Plus I'm coping with my health a bit better.
Fab wise, met a few really top blokes but no highlights for 6 months, it's all been a bit shit really. I'm hoping that might change |

Oh, and the pride I felt for my sister as she sang for the Pope at the vatican for the 25th nativity concert. The picture of the Pope shaking her hand is one for the family photo album. |
