Another rubbish year for me is almost over. We started off with the death of my uncle and lost several close friends over the year. Husbands suit is having a few outings!! It ended with the death of my Aunt who lived in Somerset but at least we re-connected with that side of the family.
Unfortunately we have lost contact with my Aunt since my uncles funeral and she is selling the bungalow and we have no idea where she is.
Financially we manage but it’s been an expensive year. We’ve had to pay for a drainage system so that the garage doesn’t flood – the front door lock packed up so we had to sort that out (just as we were setting off for Somerset!) and we’ve also had to have the house alarm upgraded. Thankfully we have managed.
Forum wise it has been a bit up and down and we have lost several valued members due to changes behind the scenes but we did see Melanie back and I know she follows the forum. The site had an update – still getting used to that!!
My health is still up and down and this Christmas wasn’t one of the best as I was not at all well. Christmas Day was spent on our own so no Christmas Lunch and Boxing Day we had the son-in-law across (he and my daughter have split up) and we had a good day with him watching rubbish TV and having a few festive drinks.
Hopefully 2017 will be better for us both financially and health wise.
Happy New Year to all.
