2018 is upon us and I hope it turns out to be a good year for everyone.
Last year was a blast for me so I'm starting this one on a high, (despite a root canal filling at 8:00 tomorrow).
We've all got one less in front of us than this time last year, so grab this one with both mitts and make it yours.
Happy New Year

Re: Happy New Year
A belated HNY from me!
Doggy - what made for such a super-dooper year last year? the HGV thing? if so, and being the confident* type, I may push myself into enrolling on that Flower Arranging night class I've being eyeing for the last 10 years.
To me each year seems much like the last i.e. a bit shite - reinforced this morning by the drive to work after the Holidays and seeing the same cars, same people, same pot holes.......urrrgh.
I promise to return to my usual happy self soon

Re: Happy New Year
We had a great holiday/road trip through France & Switzerland in June/July
Our eldest & her partner's first baby (& our 4th grandson) arrived safe & sound at the end of July
Sneaked a week in the Algarve in September
Passed my 2 truck tests in August & November
Fairly* happy with that lot.

Re: Happy New Year
My 2017 involved much stretching of tether as the kids have grown up*, but both of them are still around to see 2018 - not sure if it will be the whole year though....
