Well, it has been a bit bumpy, as the Queen said in her speech. Went through my resolutions and aims for 2019 just now. I succeeded in a few of them.
Yes, I went to the Dominican and it was a holiday from hell, nuff said.
I did not lose 21 lbs, I went a bit better than that, 30 lbs through diet changes.
Managed to control whatever it is I have from May through to early December on diet but it flared badly in December,
I have had two lovely spa breaks in the uk, one with my daughter and one on my own. Both were very enjoyable.
I haven’t doubled my bank balance, it has been quite decimated this year by some overspending but have had lots of treats and clothes shopping expeditions.
I have begun to tackle the biggest debts but won’t know until end March my inland revenue liability from which I will make the bankruptcy decision. It all takes a lot of time and I will be paying debts for another ten years if that’s the way it goes.
Was it able to take my mum to Austria as her health still isn’t great and her mobility poor, so not sure about that one, a bit of a pipe dream.
I have enjoyed a stable job and income, but it feels like the spell has been broken on that one and next year I will be looking to increase my income.
Surprise of the year, my wonderful granddaughters acting career, hugely enjoyable watching her in Mary poppins and she is in a west end theatre with the lead female role in February.
I have started the journey with a teeth and am booked in for top teeth extractions in March. He has changed his mind on implants but I don’t have enough cash at present.
I enjoyed being a patient twice for the international al Ayurvedic training institute but I haven’t found their treatments to be of any use, made things worse, if anything lol.
I started the journey to give up nicotine but have not succeeded yet.
It was wonderful to have an Xmas tree and to cater for my sons for the Xmas period. We still haven’t all got together as a family and I hope that will change for next year. The more years this doesn’t happen, it seems the harder it gets to do. My mum has only met her grandkids once or twice and three of them, not at all. I don’t think she could handle it, to be honest.
Brexit dominated the year and in London, there was a huge depressive cloud when the tories got back in. Ah well… I am sure many will regret that decision in the years to come.
So remaining gf has brought a lot of positives. I hve not gone without at all in 2019, my faith is strong but even two years and nearly five months gf I will be dealing with the debt fallout for years to come.
