During 2008 -
- My Mum slipped down the stairs and broke her leg, but made a remarkable recovery!
- I avoided
getting landed on by a plane- Rather too many teenagers were killed or attacked by knives some very close to where I live
- I went a LOT greener with solar panels which so far have meant large savings on heating our water
- I bought far too many gadgets, but recycled lots of other stuff
- I made far fewer icons and manips and was very busy with work-stuff
- I quit my job for something (I hope) is better, but kept some teaching because I love doing it
- I got fat
I don't really make resolutions, but I'd quite like to not be so fat so I think that's the only thing I'll set myself a goal for.
I hope everyone has a good celebration if you do that kind of thing (we don't tend to bother).
I wish health, happiness and less stress for you all in 2009 and that whatever you want the most happens for you.
Under the cut - music, because you can't leave 2008 without toe tapping stuff!
