Been an up and down year with 2 operations and a long time laid up and then having to build up to be able to walk again but 2018 has some life highlights
A New York trip that really met every expectation and created amazing memories
A Disney trip with the kids that surpassed anything in could have dreamed off
But the biggest was getting our 1st family dog, she is asleep on my lap with her head on my arm (makes working virtually impossible). She has brought the family even closer and means no empty moments and even more enjoying the beautiful English countryside.
On the whole football has been miserable but roll on 2019 and a win at cr |  |

Went to Vienna in March which was okay.
Florida/Disney in September which was way better than I could ever have imagined.
Currently finishing the year off with having some work done our house which should mean the place will be complete early part of next year, which I'm delighted about!
Football has been sh*te, but Saturday was great what with a mate returning from Australia, so hopefully same again this weekend. |  |

This has been the most up and down year of my ( admittedly short) life. There have been a few highlights
I've really progressed with my music and songwriting
Getting into Cardiff Uni
My job at Mencap, which I absolutely love
Went to see Arctic Monkeys
Getting a dog |  |

Job promotion which I've worked my ass off for.
Booked a wedding date
That's actually about it in terms of life highlights! Sorting out my house has taken a large chunk.
Do you walk your dog around Bramcote park? I love going there at the weekend with ours, especially just for the dog interactions. |  |

Got off to an awful start, burying my brother who died 22/12/2017.
Wasn't too bad after that, very pleasant holidays / weekends away in Cornwall (x2), Lanzarote and Bath, including a day driving a class 37 diesel engine which was fantastic. Was supposed to do this with my brother, but he never made it, so a mate and me did it in his memory.
Eldest daughter got in to the Suffolk netball squad for her age group, both daughters performed at the O2 with their performing arts group.
Was the start marshal for a number of stock car meetings, which is pretty intense, but enjoyable at the same time.
All of this though was over-shadowed by the passing of my brother, and this week is not going to be good. For added pain, it's our work Christmas do on Friday, which is a year on since he entered the hospice for his final 24 hours, so when the clock hits midnight and turns over to 22/12, I think I will be a mess. Seriously considering not going. |  |

Daughters 1st birthday in May & my missus going back to work so we were no longer a single income family was nice.
Finished an HND at uni in June which felt good however my employers decided not to fund me to carry on to the full degree which is a shame but reasons behind it were understandable & I have been promoted anyway so can't complain.
ITFC has been sh1t but the World Cup was one of the best 4 weeks of my life. |  |

All the best bud.
Go, enjoy, have fun and make the most - I'm sure your bro would want you to enjoy every moment you have (and we all should) that shouldn't detract from you remembering him though. |  |

Congrats mate.
Not been to Bramcote with her yet. She was a bit of a loon until recently so we only just got her trained to walk off lead in forests. Been a bit scared of open spaces like parks to walk her but will have a look | |

Glad you had some ups on 2018
Best wishes for the next few weeks, no one can stop that pain but I hope it helps you to enjoy a few happy memories and reminisce | |

crikey well done with that. We got our spaniel in December 2017 so this year's been looking after a growing young boy! (Kids, as they do, lost interest after a few weeks so it's been mainly Mrs F and myself doing the walking etc).
Personally not great as i've had to bury my dad (in the summer) and uncle in March (the latter was a ST holder for many years) |  | | |

Warm vibes coming over the TWTD etherwaves. Take care. Being a mess is to be expected and good in a way. You can be strong another day. |  |

Been a dreadful year mainly, with my poor Dad suffering with his hip. He had it replaced in November, but it's been over 6 weeks of more problems resulting from his stay in hospital where he got an infected foot, has cellulitis in both legs, damaged prostate and bladder from a catheter being inserted and removed too roughly. He was due to be in hospital over Xmas but thankfully won't be. He is on more antibiotics now and pray these work.
Had a massive fall out with my sister on New Years Day, and ended cutting ties with her as she was causing too much trouble and never wanted to meet and put things right.
I have had lots of health problems too, difficulties with a wisdom tooth removal in September, and my anxiety and depression have got worse.
The football - need I really say anything?!!
The one big highlight of the year was our wedding in May - a wonderful day and a wonderful reception at night, the one shining light in 2018. Our little honeymoon to York in October was nice too. |  | | |

My wife learning how to walk, first with a frame, then rollator, then walking stick and now she can shuffle around the house unaided. Thanks to the rehab staff at Bluebird Lodge for getting her started. |  |

Downside: My father who died December 23rd 2017 was buried in January 2018.
Upside: I started a business during the summer which has now taken off big time.
For me 2018 was horrifically bad to pretty damn good.
To see our Football club rooted to the bottom of the championship is a huge downer too. |  | | |

It’s probably been the best year of my life in honesty.
Work has been good and is getting better.
Been on holiday a bunch, to Amsterdam (x3), Prague, Düsseldorf, Copenhagen, Malta, Russia and Paris.
Saw loads of bands I love, the highlight being the Streets with a really good bunch of friends.
Went to the World Cup semi-final to see England, and despite the result it was a real dream come true moment for me and one of the best days of my life. Also went to the Ryder Cup which was incredible.
2018 has definitely been kind to me. |  | | |

It's been a pretty decent year overall, football aside. |  |

Don’t want to blow my own trumpet but I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been. 2018 has been great.
I got into uni, passed both modules I’ve done so far. I’m actualkycreally enjoying the course which is obviously good. Met some amazing people, realised Irish and northern girls love an Essex accent, grown very close to a girl in my flat (albeit it’s complicated).
My mental state is the best it’s been in about 2 and a half years. I made the decision to actually talk about it a couple of months ago which was the first time I had spoken about all the random sadness and crying etc. It just seemed like the right time to reflect on something I’m pastb now. And it actually helped me. Other than talking to my mum this year briefly about it, and asides from one thread on here about pulling my eyelashes out randomly, I hadn’t had a proper conversation about it until I did with the aforementioned girl.
I’ve found something that I’m actually good at and want to do in the future (sports coaching). My family are all generally healthy (asides from my Grandad who was all but a gonner a few months back but is still hanging in there) and no friends are ill.
I remember last year in this thread saying how it had been a sh1t year. Obviously town are struggling atm but asides from that and my grandad, I actually feel like 2018 was the opposite to 2016 and 2017 for me. I’m actually happy. |  |

Been the first average year I’ve had in a while. 2017 was truly sh1te despite getting my masters degree and 2014/15/16 were epic. Started a new job on 3x my old salary but am financially worse off than before. It’s a cool job so I guess that’s a highlight. Upgrading my car at the end of the week and it’s the last year before I’m a quarter of a century old so I guess those are the average highlights of an average year. |  | | |

You're chatting up Irish and northern girls? Lucky b@stard, you've got the two best accents there 😉
In all seriousness though mate that's all great. I'm glad you're over the depression now, I am the same ( just about) but if you want to talk about it then drop me a PM no problem.
It would be good to go for a pint if you're doing any way games next season. I'll be at uni in Cardiff so hopefully it'll be them and Swansea, not Newport and Bristol Rovers. | |

Geordie accent is the best on girls. 7s turn into 9s with a Newcastle accent for girls imo. Not a massive fan of northern. Though they like the Essex one for no reason at all.
Top man - likewise yourself.
Yeah I’ll make a fair few aways. I’ve persuaded a couple of arsenal fans in my flat to do aways with me this season so they’ve seen Reading, Millwall and Stoke so far with Villa in January to come. Drop me a message what games your at and we’ll meet up. Though I can’t see me doing Cardiff again. Dreadful trip last time (albeit a nice place) because of that bloody train journey and their plastic ground. | |
