You know me and lists. I saw this one on Lisa’s blog<\/a> and couldn’t help myself!<\/p>\n

Stayed single almost the whole year?
No. Been married for 10 years now! That’s half the life sentence served \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Kissed someone new?
I don’t think so…not met any new ppl this year (well, not in real life).<\/span><\/p>\n

Done something you’ve regretted?
Not kept on Em’s back to get the night away at Luton Hoo hotel!!! <\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span>
Lost someone close?
No.<\/span><\/p>\n

Were involved in something you’ll never forget?
With my memory? Even if it was the most important thing in the world – I’d STILL forget it!! lol<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Visited a different country?
No, sadly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cooked a gross meal?
I can’t think. I did a vegetarian mince\/cottage pie thingy that was only just palatable. But apart from that, I can’t think of anything truly gross. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lost something important to you?
My pet goldfish, Psychs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Got a gift you adore?
My Creative Zen X-Fi, LOVE IT!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tripped over a coffee table?
No, but fell UP the stairs – what a prawn I am!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dyed your hair?
Yes, red – for the first time in about 3 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Went to a party?
No.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saw one of your favourite bands\/artists live?
Flippin ‘eck! I WISH!! I saw The Killers on TV at Glastonbury – does that count?<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you meet any new friends this year?
Yes, one or two online ones that I’ve got close to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you dislike anyone?
I’m sure I’ve got a list – but they are mostly air-head or annoying celebs or whatever. I hardly meet anyone in “real” life I dislike.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you grow apart from anyone?
Erm, not that I’m aware of. I hope not. If I have, I’m unaware of it and it was unintentional. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any regrets when it comes to your friendships?
Too much to go into detail. <\/span><\/p>\n

2008: Your BIRTHDAY!
Did you have cake?
I think I just had chocolate (like every other day of the year!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you have a party?
No.
<\/span>
How old did you turn?
38<\/span><\/p>\n

2008: All about YOU
Did you change at all this year?
Well, I got one year older, probably gained even MORE weight, started an un-nerving obsession about David Tennant and increased my dementia.
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
Did you get your hair cut?
Yes, about 3 times at least, possibly 4. <\/span><\/p>\n

Did you change your style?
No, I’m happy with where I’m at with my style.
<\/span>
Did you have a job?
No<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you drive?
No<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you move at all?
No<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you go on any vacations?
Up to Lincolnshire for our 10th anniversary in March – that’s all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you change anything about yourself now?
Weight, age…<\/span><\/p>\n

2008: Wrap UP:
Was 2008 a good year?
Fairly much so…<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think 2009 will top 2008?
It depends on what you mean by “top”. If it means as in will it be better? I’m unsure…don’t dare want to jinx myself. <\/span><\/p>\n
