As above, I didn't want to take up the other thread, out of respect. So, I have started another one.

shite to be honest. roll on 2009

 

Things have been shit for me but then i just think at the end of the day i'm in good health and there is people a lot worse than me so sod it lol.

 

shit and 2009 will be shit too as no one any work atall

 

not great at all.. but hopefully things are slowly improving.

 

Not too good. Ive loved and lost, tried and failed, won and lost. Nothing out of the ordinary really but I think im gonna end the year worse off in alot of areas of my life than where I was in January.
Onwards and upwards though, have applied for a killer job, things are looking up right now so Im staying positive.
Some lyrics I like seemed relevant for me

I dont know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, ive been afraid that i might drift away
And ive been telling old stories, singing songs
That made me think about where i came from
Thats the reason why i seem so far away today.

Well ive been moved, and ive kept on moving
Proved the points that i needed proving
Lost the friends I needed losing
Found others on the way
And i have kissed the ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams there's no denying
Traveled hard with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

Great here, we got married last november, and this year we moved into a nice big house with a garden for the kids, ive got a new job starting in January and the kids are all great

hope we have another great year next year

 

Excellent really, plenty of fun and the business has started to take off.

Am hoping 2009 will be even better, more fun and the business taking off in a big way, but don't want to tempt fate. The foundations laid towards the end of 2008 are looking good though

 

Funny one to answer... I started my own business, after the third attempt, just at the begining of a world economy crisis, but it's still going!! Me and my wife almost split up after 11 years, but we are working thru it and we are still going...

It could be better, but it could be a damn sight worse, i'm pretty happy all things considered!! (Skint but happy)

 

2008 has been VERY quick, seems like it's still march or something,

Probably because i don't work in an office looking at dates all day.

 

Almost died in a car fire, but appart from that, not too bad!

 

Its been a good year for me in most respects, would have liked to have got a little more done with my cars, but still made quite a bit of progress..

Id give it 8/10 I reckon all in all

 

I was in one of those too, must have been the weather

 

I think mine has been good. I retired in April, and my wife retires on the 28th of this month. Bought a 3 door Sierra Cosworth about a month ago. I hope that was a good move. I would like to add that I feel for all you younger guys who are having a rough time due to the present global situation, and sincerely hope that you all come out of it in good shape. I had my pension stolen by a Dutch construction company that I used to work about 5 years ago. They were dark times for me , but with the help and support of my dear wife, all has worked out OK. Keep your chins up. Regards , John.

It was good at the start of the year right up in till the past 2/3 months........... Work backed right off in the part time valeting Business that i have so have decided its no longer worth it at the mo so have pulled the plug
