Well this year hasnt been a bad one for me..... But thanx to Jan n Rick, Rod and to many others to mention, my 50th birthday party was my most memorable day of this year..:)))))))) One i will not forget.. Thanx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carol

Paul, had a wonderful year in the sense i met and married a kind caring and gentle man after being in an abusive marriage for years. Have gained 3 extra children, my step children, so a wonderful big family with 6 children! Moved back home to glorious Devon. On the down side have had 3 miscarriages this year....but having the wonderful 6 children we have, its all positive for 2007!!! Happy Christmas everyone!! Rebecca x

David... no change there then.... lol Paul so very pleased that you and Sharon have overcome your difficulties. This can only make you stronger as a couple. As for me... good times and very bad times but hoping that my positivity for 2007 pays off. Must mention one of the good times which was the week-end of the wedding of Jan and Rick. Three days when I never stopped laughing except for 30 minutes of the actual marriage when I blubbed like a baby. My wish for everyone is for peace of mind. Jean x.

Hand on heart this has been the WORST ever year for me & my family..... there has been no good ( honestly)......I'll be glad to see the back of this year truly I will. Next year we'll be thinking positive thoughts for us & for all those here that need it too......... Merry Christmas & much much happiness to you ALL -x- Debi

That proves what a really nice man you are Paul!!!

Thank you Helen, and of course I wish you the same but trust me, there's been a lot of that smiling in the face of adversity going on !

smile in the face of adversity!! i hope you and your OH have a geat 2007 Paul!! you have always been so nice on here!! and i wish you all you wish for yourselves!! have a Happy Christmas Love Helenxx

It was a particularly sad year for me Paul, but I have learned a lot and will really appreciate each day, and take what comes..... Next year will still be full of memories, but I hope that my optimistic outlook on life will see me through.....there are many out there who have problems every day of their lives.....and I count myself very lucky.....I am crossing my fingers for two new grandbabies for next Christmas... What I would wish for board members is a healthy and peaceful life, and I wish I had a magic wand.......

Helen - that's very true, 'character building' I think they call it...

think i will join David!! sounds good to me the only thing i wont join in with though David is giving up smoking!! sorry but it's a must do!!!!! Love Helenx ps not been a bad year!! ups and downs like most people!! but thats what makes the people we are!! getting through it with a smile!!

such sadness on here, but a lot of happiness too, so as always there's some balance. Looking forward to David saying what he thinks more next year, instead of sitting on the fence... :)

Alot of sadness for me this year, centred round losing Mum in February. Her passing means that our life-long family home ( - my birthplace) will soon be sold, so it's the end of an era. On a positive note we have a lovely family, where all the generations get on together, so life is good. I enjoyed taking my grandson to Wales and showing him where I visited on holiday as a child. 3 GR meets, - Coventry, Brighton and Northampton were good fun and meant that I could at last meet people who had become good cyber friends. Next year I hope to get stuck in to some house decluttering and decorating. College friends and I hope to have another reunion in the spring, probably in Cardiff. Gwyn

My favourite moments Getting married and the Disney Parade and Eldest daughter starting Uni My worst moments In Maderia meeting all the Lizzards

Mixed year Paul mostly on the down side but,im,still kicking hell out of things,an fighting, So i just hope next year gets better

Moments I will remember best are Family Holiday in Portugal in May Spending a great summer in the garden with my children and the paddling pool. My Daughter getting an award for Best Pupil who shows maturity. My sister in laws 30th Birthday party.(where I dressed as Kristal Carrington) My 40th Birthday Party (Me Rollers outfit.) Family holidays to our place in Wales and the Lakes. Raising lots of money for charity On GR was so Happy for Caz that her Graeme came home from Iraq. Sad things My mums 10th Anniversary of her death. Had a good year overall and can't really complain have a wonderful family, all healthy and happy. I wish everyone a Fantastic, Healthy and Happy New Year. catherine xx

The good thing was holiday in France,the bad thing getting a lot of harassment from a certain person (not anyone on here).

Good Things.. Camping trips in the Summer Family holiday in October Getting my qualifications in August. Parties.. Bad Things... Death of Uncle erm...well it's been a good year I think. My plans for next year? Well, I hope to go to Uni (if I get in) and do a bit of traveling beforehand. And also do well enough in my examinations. Hope you all have a happy year. :-)

Sounds like we've all had a pretty mixed year. On the plus side for me and mine, we haven't lost any close family, which makes us luckier than many I suppose. Carol... had to post this for you... The Life of Riley by The Lightning Seeds ----------------------------------------- Lost in the Milky Way, Smile at the empty sky and wait for, The moment a million chances may all collide. I'll be the guiding light, Swim to me through stars that shine down. And call to the sleeping World as they fall to Earth. So here's your life, We'll find our way, We're sailing blind, But it's certain nothing's certain. From cradles and sleepless nights, You breathe in life forever, And stare at the World from deep under eiderdown. Although this World is a crazy ride, You just take your seat and hold on tight. For the first time, I don't mind, I get the feeling, You'll be fine, I still believe, That in this World, We've got to find the time, For the Life of Riley

Good and Bad year Everything that could go wrong with my work lump sum and pension went wrong...still getting it sorted. Lovely new Grandaughter Riley born January. My Mum passed away Febuary. My Auntie passed away May. Great holiday with friends August. Lovely new Grandaughter Macie born September. and very Sad at the thought of my mum not being hear for Christmas. Hope all on GR have a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Regards and Best Wishes to you all. Carolx
