only asking as it got me thinking last night...

this time last year (to the day) on a soaking wet sunday morning I was limbering up to take part in the great scottish run through the streets of glasgow and surrounding areas....

fast forward 1 year on and I am now gearing up for the iminent arrival of our first baby - something that certainley wasnt on the cards this time last year..

there have been other things happened but I am just highlighting that its more or less to the day for these 2 things...

lifes funny at times...

Last year at this time I was probably exactly where I am now!

Can't recall any major changes in the last 12 months.

Its been a non event year for me - just hibernated a lot of the time.
I dont mind that much - enjoyed peace after a stormy time

This year we have had a visit from the Oz branch of the family...we must have been too hospitable, because they came last year too (only joking)......they wanted to tour Scotland and Ireland as well as catch up with family in Lancs.......and they had a great visit.....the weather was kind to them too.
My daughter succeeded in gaining a place at Uni - she starts in a couple of weeks. Her little boy started pre-school just after Easter......he absolutely loves it and hates the week-end when he can't go (how that will change when he gets a bit older)...his little sister will start pre-scool in a couple of weeks (hope she takes to it as easily as he did).
I became a pensioner in June of this year - though I still feel like an 18 year old....anyone know where I can get one from

My Ma becomes a cancer survivor at the end of this month - five years since her diagnosis and treatment.....I've got my fingers crossed as I say this...we can never say 'cured'.......oh and she will be 80 later this month.

So all in all quite an eventful year.

in the last year i've met a great friend who i would trust with my life, a very special friend who i can tell ANYTHING to, a friend that always makes me smile, he makes me feel confident about myself, right now i think i'd be lost without him.

Within the last 12 months

My neice and partner (soon to be husband) had a baby boy and named him Jack, her first baby.
My brother and his wife have adopted their third child, a baby boy and named him Jamie.
My son has graduated from Bolton university, my daughter has passed her G.C.S.E.'s and I have completed and passed the first year of my foundation degree.
A few days ago a very dear friend of ours passed away, he will be very sadly missed and forever in our hearts.

This time last year i had just got rid of my on-off partner of four years,my post natal depression dissapeared (no coincidence lol),i started seeing an accywebber,Jack wasnt saying any words, couldnt even walk (he is now playing footie and running away every time i say nappy change time and singing mika songs!),and i was happy with being a stay at home mum.........
Now-i am with a guy called Anthony and we are talking about getting married,Jack is strutting around like he owns the place,i am applying for jobs because im bored at home,i have an interview for stage 2 sign language course on Monday and i am planning my life and home around my future with Anthony and Jack.
BUT BEST OF ALL me and the wifey have been best friends for just over a year now (Donna who came to an accyweb meet with me)......................
i have told Anthony if he marries me-he has to marry my wifey too cos we come as a package.......typical bloke-he is quite pleased about this lmao!!!!

Since September 06 my grandson started at Salford University, my brother married for the first time (his partner of 35 years, he's 71 and she's 69), my eldest daughter set up her own accountancy business and I gave in my retirement notice (at last).

Margaret Pilkington · 02-09-2007, 13:13

Enjoy your retirement West Ender......I'm sure you are ready for it and it is well deserved.

West Ender · 02-09-2007, 13:19

Thanks, Margaret, I fully intend to enjoy it. Just 4 more weeks to work (3 days a week so just 12 days) then I'm free! Yeeeehhhaaaaa!!!
