Your Highlights of 2008 (stolen from OT...)

Stazzle, 23 December, 2008 at 10:16 Posted on Planning 0 25

Hi everyone

As a lot of us seem to still be at work and willing the time away till the Xmas break, I saw this on OT the other day and thought it might be a nice way to distract ourselves from our boring days or whatever we're doing, and to say bye to 2008!

So give me your personal highlights of 2008, and also what you're looking forward to in 2009.

My highlights of 2008:

  • Getting my degree
  • Finally earning a full time wage in a job I really enjoy
  • Booking our wedding venue!
  • H2B getting a promotion at work and doing really well
  • Our dog having 9 lovely puppies!

Looking forward to in 2009:

  • Losing more weight for the wedding
  • Starting to get the planning more under way
  • The credit crunch easing (wishful thinking maybe!)

Merry Xmas! ?

    Ha! I nearly pee'd my pants when she told me! I want us to get t-shirts saying we're the 6th & 7th members of Girls Aloud! But even for me I think that may be taking it a bit far! Although she has started calling me Katie Cole! And she is now Sam Walsh! ?
