Before I go.. Thursdays job it to post 5 of the best things that happened in 2008 and the one remarkable thing that changed you as a person.. and the one thing you remember most from the thread..

Best happenings..

1. My sister achieved a pregnancy
2. I found new friends
3. I went back to college
4. I spent 2 weeks alone with the children while hubby was overseas and I survived!
5. We reclaimed a room

Remember most from this thread

1. That I have people who care about me and about each other, all over the world and that should I turn up on their doorstep they would (once they realised who I was) welcome me. That is pretty special.

Remarkable thing that changed me

1. I learned to fly, not just in terms of the thread but in terms of myself.. (I know that is uber-cheesy..)

I don't believe in resolutions but.. next year will be debt killing year!

Pigpen - that's truly, actually, inspirational! Well done you. That will give me food for thought... Enjoy yourself at the public louse with your Mum and Happy New Year to you and all your family .xx

juliejim I must have missed PFs post but Griff Rhys Jones let it slip a while ago that he had parkinsons didn't he?

soappie, oh bother, hope you manage to get it sorted, have you got one of those policy things?

:rotfl: right lot aren't we, soappie with a poorly boiler, me with a poorlie car, pigpen with a sizzled kitchen......could only happen to us eh!

Well DSs are now both playing with Lego, do you think they can tell I don't particularly care? They aren't fighting, so I don't mind them staying down here, DS1 wouldn't be asleep anyway. DP seems to be having a very quiet night at work.

Got my first homecheck info paperwork now, going to call the possible new owners tomorrow to arrange the visit, they said I can do the follow up visit too which is fab as I will get to see the finished family together if they are accepted I'm really looking forward to being part of it, I'm saying little animal but he's a rather big dog. DPs said I can use his car anyway so that's sorted too.

Think I will see if I can get the boys to settle now, if I send them now they'll hopefully be so tired they will go flat out straight away.

Pigpen, while I put the boys to bed I will have a thinks about that list, very true what you said, apart from the house thing, I'd switch the lights off and hide same as I do on halloween! :rotfl:

awh thanks you lovely people - I HAD to do it as I would have felt I was letting the side down - now I know you lot wouldnt have seen it like that but it was what spurred me on - so I couldnt have done it without the thread - I cannot remember NOT having ironing it s been that long!

Toots - I totally agree! The reason I did it was because of the thread and not wanting to let you and myself and everyone down. I do feel like I've really acheived something and I'm sure you do to.

I told my dad earlier and I couldn't answer him when he asked how long it had been since I had no ironing to do .........

Figured I'd get this out of the way coz i'll prolly forget tomorrow ( 2 PS3 pads now, much smashy smashy:D )

Best happenings..

1. Making the decision to move to Beverley
2. Making the decision to simplify my life
3. Maintaining a fabulous relationship with my family, oh and his family (I still expect her to hate me...thats what mother-in-laws do???)
4. Discovering that i can make decisions about my own life (see 1 + 2)
5. Just knowing that 2008 was a good year, memory like a golden swimmy thing so i'm incapable of figuring out specifics, will prolly think of some in morning.

Remember most from this thread

That there are people out there who will listen to my ramblings, and find something useful out of it all to help me...and make me smile

Remarkable thing that changed me

The knowledge that just because i don't think i can do it, doesn't mean i shouldn't try.

well im home from mums.. DD was too cranky to stay longer. Just wanted to pop on and say hello before me and OH watch my new DVD "angus thongs and perfect snogging" that him and DD bought me for xmas.

just out of interest has anyone bought dvds lately with a weird lock opening thingy on them?? We just both ended up taking a screwdriver too the box to prise it open as there was some weird block thing in it which wouldnt push down, out, left, right nothing! Then we couldnt get the disk out... and when we finally did this red lock thing goes right through the box with all sorts of metal etc on it.. and it has a stick on alarm tag attached to said lock under the disk?! Neither of us have seen anything like it before...... weve managled the box...... but think we may have figured out why zavvi (where OH bought it) has gone into administration... no one can get into their bloody dvds so must be taking them back!!:mad: :mad: :rotfl: :rotfl:

JOhanne - they should've taken the tag out at the store, our m and v dept uses them and they are impossible to get off without the detacher...well, without the destruction you talked about
