Yorkshire Pie Dec 2016 3:52pm, 30 Dec 2016 13,105 posts	Quote 1 pin Yorkshire Pie I got a new job, a club record, a couple of trophies, two cash prizes, 3 trips to Belgium and 3 to Spain, and 6 weeks off between jobs over summer. And a win in the advent calendar. Could have been worse.

Granty Boy Dec 2016 3:54pm, 30 Dec 2016 21 posts	Quote Pin Granty Boy It started off okay, but went downhill at the end of May. It's ending with a whimper, as I have my recurring end of year lurgy
Cyclops Dec 2016 3:55pm, 30 Dec 2016 2,712 posts	Quote Pin Cyclops I've enjoyed this year. Nothing bad has happened and some good stuff (including my 50th birthday - the celebration of which lasted about 6 weeks and involved two weekends away - and my daughter's GCSE results) occurred.
Winded Dec 2016 4:01pm, 30 Dec 2016 5,047 posts	Quote 1 pin Winded I am fortunate to have a nice life. 2016 has offered up some crappy stuff but it's mostly been at a distance from me - macro things when I have a micro existence. The day to day stuff has mostly been good. The less good stuff has been "first world problems" - I'm lucky I guess.

Southcoastpete Dec 2016 4:12pm, 30 Dec 2016 5,386 posts	Quote Pin Southcoastpete Well 2016 for me was; Ran my 50th Parkrun Had a lovely day volunteering at Brighton Marathon. Fantastic holidays to Iceland and Canada. Had good fun with family and friends Still got my health, job and a roof over my head. The news has been generally depressing most of the time, but all I can do is be aware of it, and that's is. I guess its keeping things in perspective that helps.

elfpint Dec 2016 4:22pm, 30 Dec 2016 21,947 posts	Quote Pin elfpint There's been some pretty shitty bits if I'm honest but we got a puppy and had a lovely trip to Skye. All my nearest and dearest are healthy. I have a job which puts a decent roof over my head and food in our bellies, and provides non-essentials too. Oh and we live in a pretty beautiful part of the world.
