So 2012... Personally I feel like I had a pretty dire year. What can I say that's particularly good about it? Off the top of my head... nothing. So to put it into perspective in order to promote a more healthy outlook on life I made a list. I'm good at lists. I like lists. Lists help me obtain some form of order. Until i loose them or put them somewhere "safe"
So here it is...
What was so great for me in 2012?
Bad
- Had to re-home Tattiana Caterina & Matilda Poo Cat (My 2 kitties)
- Moved in with cat hating future mother in law
- Future mother in law turfed me and daughter out because I wouldn't let her bully me on wedding related issues
- Had a wedding dress dilemma because it didn't fit right & was too short
- Money!
- Had to suspend cake making due to mother in law not wanting me to make cakes in her home
- Had to give up my home and sell/skip most of my furniture to move in with mother in law
- Sold my fabulous little Sport KA to buy a grown up sensible car
- Put weight on
- Was made redundant - twice
- Tried going to craft Fayre's to sell my truffles and made a loss & generally wasted my time
Good
- Realised I have wonderful friends who helped me out when I found a new home
- My two new baby kitties George & Bertie
- My new grown up sensible car - I love it after all!
- Found my independence again after I moved out of mother in laws and started a new life
- Work - My new day job is fabulous and I have some awesome colleagues
- Found a new wedding dress more beautiful than the original
- Tried my hand at craft Fayre's
- Completed Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas (I am a bit of a geek)
- My new home & awesome landlords!
- Had a hen party!
So looking at this I think 2012 was overall a bad year with some good bits thrown in towards the end. What am I going to do now?
I am going to move on and keep my head up! Things could have been worse! After all, I was made homeless momentarily, but managed to turn my life around and realise that I have some wonderful friends and family and the support of my man MrMc (when he isn't doing something "in a minute" or "later" ;-) ) If it hadn't been for my family and friends I honestly don't know how I would have managed. They were there for me through thick and thin and offered more support and encouragement than I could have hoped for!
So here's to all the people who matter in my life who have been there for me. Whether it be kind words of encouragement, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to sound off into or their home for a roof over my head. I can't thank you all enough and I love each and every single one of you.
Thank you x
