Best thing that happened to you in 2007

[embellina]

Thought a warm upbeat thread may help us all procrastinate further this afternoon...

I've had a really lucky year with lots of good things coming my way. Mainly I fell in love and quit my job - both of which were unexpected yet set my life off in an even better direction that it was going in before.

[Brendan]

I asked a girl to marry me.

She said yes!

[mockney piers]

Ha! Me too!!

[embellina]

Aaah - that's what I like to hear!

[Annasfield]

You both sound surprised...?::o

[cdonline]

I gave up smoking and decided I wanted to start again. Happy days.

[mockney piers]

Not been a brilliant year to be honest, but highlights are definitely getting engaged (even if I've barely seen her since..could you blame her), Nick and Keith's weddings (that's 2 weddings people, not to each other) and, not to sound to licky, but the friends I've made this year here.

The Marks, John, Bea, Mike, Ant, Spence and lots of other quality people too numerous to mention in one post, it's added a whole lot to living here.

Oh and CrystalClear finally getting himself a bloody girlfriend!!

no idea who this "John" is - maybe Louisa knows ;-)

The birth of my third son, Enzo.

My eldest son, Fabio, making me feel proud with his GCSE results.

Mrs LL's face when I gave her an eternity ring.

Discovering the EDF and all the benefits that come with membership.

Reading Alan Dales posts and feeling relieved I hadn't bought in Camberwell.

Stopping smoking, hopefully for good.

Discovering the joy of cycling.

The Plough reborn!

Until last week, sticking to my new yrs resolution has been fab - much fitter and almost 2 stone lighter - much thanks to GoodLiz!

But I'd have to say being proposed to on friday (thus again missing my chance to meet EDFer's) has to be this years highpoint, roll on march '09!!

[downsouth]

Well, apart from discoverign Peniciliin, gravity and DNA:

Going greener and trying valiantly to reduce my carbon footprint (in no small part due to saintly folk that walk these here forums - Sean ;-) )

[Jah Lush]

Discovering this Forum back in March and meeting so many good and lovely people and making some new friends along the way.

[embellina]

I really must come to the next EDF drinks - I feel left out not really knowing the faces behind the names yet! That's what happens when you're a long-time lurker I guess! x

[Keef]

Year started in Australia at a rock festival over new year, which was awesome, but coming home in January made it all a bit depressing to start off.

However, there have been some great times, including the Reading Festival in August.

However, My wedding day obviously wins by a million miles, and will be one of the best days of my life I am sure! (thanks Piers for the snaps).

Also making some great new friends, a lot of whom were from here, and some of whom even attended the wedding.

Oh, and playing guitar! >:D<

[mockney piers]

Again, a pleasure Keef.

Go for it embellina it'll be fun, it'll be good to see another new face, there are always a couple at every drinks.

[KalamityKel]

Dairylea microwaved sarnies!!! :)

[annaj]

Congratulations buggie - I'll PM you :))

My highlights are easy.

Getting married and my sister being told she didn't have lymphoma any more.

It's been a very good year.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Going to various hot springs with the wife and my wonderful mother in law.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Getting to know lots of great people on the Forum - and making some good friends on the way.

Bizzarely being diagnosed with diabetes - at least now I know why I felt like shite and I now have a proper reason to eat sensibly, drink sensibly, get fitter and lose weight - 1 stone in 2 months and still going. Its amazing how galvanising consequences can be!

[EDOldie]

Lots of good things but deciding to learn to play the piano is one of the most rewarding. If a little more than difficult.

[PeckhamRose]

I had a play of mine put on in North London. None of you lot came, which I thought was a shame as you may have enjoyed it, but lots of people did and it got great reviews. It stressed me out greatly, was a huge nightmare (getting our leading man four days before opening night), but it was a huge personal achievement.

Also I got paid Equity Minimum not to work with Johnny Depp. No, seriously. But I only relate that true story when I am well drunk because it is also the worst thing that happened to me.

So that's the best things combined with one of the worst things that happened to me.

[luke dogwalker]

We decided to get married next year, thats made us happy:)-D

[Asset]

still waiting

[lozzyloz]

Surely not?:'(

[woodie]

it was s mall ting but, somehow reigns supreme for me amongst some pretty hot events this year..I stood amazed at the window as my eldest (then just 5) swam a whole length of the training pool in crawl stroke at the beckenham spa. Although i'd been taking her to lessons everyweek, it was the first time I saw all the little skills come together and the kid swam.Like a dolphin.

oh, btw theres a very good team in there. The tall lady miss Sarka (sharka!) is the best. Dads, try not to stare, shes kinda cute too. Beckenham has a veru good team in that spa and its reasonable prices for lessons.
