Day 28 → your plans for New Years Eve

I always stay up to see in the New Year, last year was the first year by myself, as the previous year I was with Mum & Dad.

Day 19 → what you learned this yearOne thing I did learn was that I could actually enjoy going to the gym.

Day 17 → something that made you happy this year

The department I work for at the hospital have asked me a couple of times if I would like to work full-time for them.. At present I work part-time, via the Bank, so it is really nice to truly know I am appreciated.

Day 16 → something that made you sad this yearThere's an obvious answer here ... becoming an orphan in September. Dad (and Mum) were friends, as well as parents. Although I know they are in Heaven and I will see them again, it's sad not to be able to chat to them, see them, give them a hug (and get a hug back ( Read more... )
