In Which I see 2008 as a good one.

As I can't be arsed thinking up questions about the past year I've decided to "steal" from the list I did late December 2008. The list in its entirety can be found here - just in case you'd like to compare my new answers to my old ones....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once again I was going to get better with exercising (read; lose weight - a lot!) but that has not happened. Well, I actually did quite well up until August and then that changed but more about that further down the list

Am I engaged? Yup yup yup!! Boyfriend finally asked in January 2008. We were in bed, reading, when he asked so it was very much cosy and the perfect way to be asked - for me.

Have I dared standing up to Boyfriend's parents? No but I'm not going anywhere for a very very long time so they've got a "nice" surprise coming up...

Do I speak [a little] Mandarin? Still not a word.

Did I dive with Great Whites in South Africa? Nooooooooo!

Have I found something that would 'replace' the interests I had in the 'old country? Not really, but I've adapted and feel more at ease with my life as it is now.

Did I win millions of £s on the lottery? Clearly not as I am still working at that $%£"$** place

Stop buying lottery tickets as never winning anyway? See item above.

Do I find 5 good reasons each morning to remain in England? It's not quite as dificult as last year but Boyfriend is very much still the no.1 reason.

Shave my legs every morning? My new excuse is that I most certainly would if I could bend down like that...

Isn't this a much more relaxed list than last years??

Swear less? Hell no! I should stop though.

Write one letter each week to my grandmother? I am ashamed of myself. Very ashamed.

Saved money? Still not as good as I'd like to be but am doing loads better - well, Boyfriend does it for me on my internet banking as I can't be arsed and it's a crap site anyway.

Find a new calling like furniture-making? I think that there is definitely something "special" out there for me. Some projects are still in the planning stage but watch this space...

Have sex twice a day? Well,perhaps not twice a day and that still got me into trouble - very nice trouble - but Boyfriend is eagerly awaiting the "horny" period that's due any time now. But that's not very likely to happen unless he rubs my feet first.

Do I live in a house? I most CERTAINLY do! And it is the perfect one for us.

Not getting myself worked up about things out of my control? I am so cool, calm and collected these days. It's not worth worrying about the little things and I don't really have any "big" things to worry about - yet.

Not taking anti-depressants? Pregnancy is clearly the perfect thing for me. I am happy.

Love Boyfriend a little bit more each day? It's sickening but yes and even though it's my body that's amazing enough to incubate a new life - I love Boyfriend loads more for getting me knocked up. (It's ok to feel a bit sick after this, I would be if it wasn't my own life/list)

Become an auntie? Well, She is now 18 months and the most adorable little girl ever. I might steal her when I go home in a week's time, I don't have to try and squeeze her out which would def be a bonus.

My very own pet? The previous owners of our house had a chocolate Labrador called Marty who slept in the entrance between the garage and the kitchen and we now call that entrance "Marty's Plats/Place" - so Marty has become a fixture of our house. A Ghost dog, if you like.

Disclaimer....
The list is not a compilation of my "average" mood of last year
- that would simply have been too scary and sad -
it is a list of how I feel right now.
Happy
