Been a very boring year.

High, Passing my exams and getting promoted.

Low: finding out via the paper that our lovely neighbour had died, RIP Mike.

High: Attending the AR08 and meeting a whole load of fantastic people

High: Retaining my job (originally a temporary 6 month contract - been extended twice now) & progressing really fast with 4x pay rises

High: going to norway/finland in 2009 (ok thats next year but i paid for it this year..! )

Low: my grandad passing away a couple of months ago

Low: Not having enough spare cash to do a masters degree then being too lazy to apply for a funded doctorate course...

Low spot - being referred to a neurosurgeon in jan for a few probs Id been experiencing ( which thanfully havent re occured to the same degree) and
dropping the bike in the car park at the 'Glencoe massacre' which bizzarely caused a huge loss in confidence
High spots - going to the AR, NW3 and the glencoe massacre and putting a load of names to faces, also Going to the States and doing NYC,L.A and San fran in 16 days. All in all a good year for a change, roll on 2009.

your not the only one. Wish I could run away as far & fast as I can from home right now.

High Points
Got promoted to the next grade (we have grades at my work (i.e 1.1 , 1.2 , 2.1 etc)
Passed my bike test first time and bought my bike (Said promotion meant I could finally afford to do it!)


Low Points
I haven't done no where near as much cycling as I normally would and have put some weight on!
Still single after a few small relationships this year!
Am now skint because of the bike!

It's the reason that Evie and I have gone away this Christmas, last Christmas was so low that I wanted to get away from family giving me grief for not seeing them.
Don't have to this year, off to the Cathedral at 11.30 for midnight mass, sooo Christmassy!
