fookin hell gaaables what you dealing?!



not a bad year for me, well started off ace!!!

finished my degree and got a good grade!
had a decent pay rise again! quite successful in job!
two of my best mates got married which was and i was best man at one which is something i always wanted to do but never realised how close my friends were to give me the chance.
ive finally got myself a mk2 fiesta turbo (although cheated and bought one instead of building the one in my garage)
met loads of new people and made some good friends and refound some old ones!

then recently had a bit of a down turn...
dumped the girlfriend (this was supposed to be negative but in the long run its probably postive)
had my car wrote off (negative but now positive as ive got something respectable for a daily driver!)
ripped my bathroom suite out!! (this was supposed to be a postive but as ive not out it back its now negative)

erm and ive found a love for spirits and beer (positive though will no doubt turn out to be negative!!)

all in all pretty kinda happy with 2004!! and am quite anxious for what 2005 holds?

2004 has had it's ups and downs for me.

Both my ERST and Rachel's XR2i were featured with Grudge Match's in Performance Ford.

XR2i was written off

Moved into a house with Rachel

The temp job I started after being made redundant has been offered to me full time

Two close friends had their first baby called Callum

Holiday to Tenerife with Rachel and her parents went pear shaped when we got into a fight at the hotel when a drunken bloke attacked Rachel's dad!

Broke gearbox number 12

I'm ready for 2005

Bit of both really,

First of all I was told I was redundant about this time last year (after 8 years of blood sweat and tears for the same company), so not a great start to the year.
I managed to keep the job by taking a 30% pay cut with a bonus to make up the difference if I delivered a project.
Project was delivered on time and budget - half bonus paid there and then + pay back to where it was
Cossie broken down late 2003, still not fixed early 2004.

Fixed my broken cossie in the summer.

Bought a second cossie for MrsFrog.

Went on a big holiday in the sun.

Not had too much bad luck this year, much better than last, but 2005 better be good.
