YOUR BEST AND WORST OF 2006

WORST

Three old schoolmates all dying in very quick succession.
Mum not knowing who I am anymore.
An illness wobble.



BEST
1. Getting Mum into a lovely supervised home.
2. France!!!
3. Loads of stuff that I won't go into on this forum!

No, don't tease - tell!

Oh, alright then.........

1. Getting my navel put round to the front, where it should've been all the time.

2. Having my tongue waxed. I can now taste my food.

3. Receiving dental treatment to stop my teeth from itching.

4. Finally learning how to speak fluent Dutch, without bringing up copious amounts of phlegm.

5. Discovering that they have tarmac roads north of Milton Keynes.

6. Improving my aim in the loo, to such an extent that I now regularly achieve a rather impressive 85% of my aimings actually going into the pan.

7. Not being arrested for three whole consecutive weeks back in May.

and finally.........managing to hire a personal care assistant, who doesn't scream, faint, or run away shouting "PYTHON...PYTHON" when I get out of the bath in order to be dried.

worst? That's easy:-

Car repossessed
Heart broken
moving house (again)
being poor (still)
best friend moving away
betrayed by other "best friend"

plus various other horrible things far too deviant to mention

My "bad" leg is improving.

Five is a very fine number.

Worst:

I'm saving my breath to cool my porridge.

Makes me smile to see the best out-doing the worst.

I believe smorgs was looking for honesty here...

There was no best this year, the whole year was a piece of dung for me!

There MUST be something good?

And the year isn't over yet...

Chin up, Victor!

Life is sweet, you know...

Best

Retiring May 1st


Worst

Oldest daughter still in a crappy relationship with a moron

Sorry about that Reyne...

She has to see it for herself - but then you know that, don't you? But at least you are there for her - like a great Dad should be. I wish I had a Dad.

Hope you are really enjoying your retirement. I used to run pre-retirement courses for the local council - they were always my favourite...

That and 'Working with Hazardous materials'

Happy Christmas

Mame, it's never morbid to remember those we love. People who get all uncomfortable just don't know what to say. We need to remember them out loud sometimes. I'm glad there are still some "bests" in your year.
