2009, Good or bad year?
 

Happy new year everyone by the way :)

Yesterday when we were watching bbc before 12, they were showing a few things from 2009..and my grandad said it had been a bad year, everyone in the room had agreed other than me.

2009 Has been one of the best years for me.
So although it hasnt been good for the country or anything it has been great for me.

Passed my Driving test in Janurary
Got my car in March
Turned 18 in may (able to go clubbing)
Made some good new friends in june
Met a nice girl in july sadly it only lasted a couple of weeks.
September i got my job
Since then ive been having a great time having money..and meeting new people.

So did anyone else have a good year, in what was a bad year?

I say its generally been a poor year, but these are things Ive done in 2009:

Do my GCSE's and get 9 out of 10 passes
Prom
Leave school, and start college
Get my braces in
Made so many close friends in these 3 months at college
Got the college to open again after government said they would shut it down
Got a job in TkMaxx (even though its Xmas temp)
Got my first and second paychecks
Turned 17
Went to a Windsor, 16-17 year olds club.
Got into a Over 18s club on Christmas Eve when i was 16.

Sounds good Slav.
Great Getting pay check is good isnt it.

I just got mine yesterday, and it is bigger than any of my others by far.

Its quality!

Rubbish year lol

Fab year :) loads of people said this year has been bad :(
but tbf i think its been really good,and I have enjoyed it!!

worst year ever.

I would say average.

Poll added :)

I've had a pretty bad year...

The marriage with the Mrs was on the rocks after I found out she was having an affair :(

But we had councelling and thankfully have been back together again since September.

I've lost a lot of money through silly investments, we still have to pay the bloody morgage, the kids keep asking for money, the dog died last summer, my wife was made redundant...

not a good one!!

If you are actually telling the truth, dunno how you could get back with a cheat.

Well, it's difficult. But I still loved her. And we had to work it out, there were a lot of tears shed and sleepless nights. She's my soulmate... I couldn't have her out of my life. It was tough, but people make mistakes.

Im pleased things are sorted between you both now though Gavin :)

Would drive me crazy in my mind

Thank you Jords :).

Good to the max.

-Started the year in Barcelona for New Year's Eve with a few friends.
-My niece was born, she's so cute.
-I have the best marks at Uni, I'm top student of my degree and got though to second year.
-I've had the best work experience ever. It lasted 4 months, it was awesome. Planes are really my life.
-Amazing holidays in Corsica with my best friends. I've done camping for the first time in my life because I'm used to go to fancy hotels so I'm definitely proud of myself.
-I fell in love for the first time since my break up with a 2 years-relationship I had with a girl. But this girl is not available at the moment so I will have to wait.
-I had some of the most deluded parties and met some crazy people. Pure fun.

That's it for 2009, roll on 2010. :hugesmile:

Bad

Great year. schools going great, my friends are ace, i'm doing very well in football and other sports and xmas was amazing.

I dont think I could live with someone knowing she has cheated. Maybe thats just me. But love does weird things to people.
Eg. My sister was on and off with her boyfriend even though he cheated on her twice in 6 months. She kept going back to him. Thank God, not anymore, I told him where to go!!

But its good to hear everything is better though!

About the other stuff like mortgage, i bet 80% of families have the same problem, and the reason i got a job, really was to stop borrowing money from parents, makes it easier.

A good year.

Really Average

Positives:
- Came out.
- Going to college and am predicted good grades.
- Generally a great ending (xmas/new years)
- Amazing summer, did loads and had great fun.

Negatives:
- Dad died.
- Brother died.
- Generally been very low and cried a lot more than other years.
- ****ed up a friendship with the guy I love...but this now seems to be on the mend.
- Pretty much hardly see anyone in uni/college terms, everyone's up away around the country.

Overall...could've been worse...could've been a lot better.

Bad, didn't like it.

Amazing year

- Got a Job
- None of my family Died
- Got a new little cousin
- Re-decorated the house
- Mum is much more financially stable after a few low years
- I've made amazing friends
- I've gotten over the girl I loved, but never had


Downsides -
Crap X Factor

That's about it. Roll on 2010 ;D

Great year i got my new job and everything is going ok. I went to my first convention and also went to wimbledon to see the roof being put on center. Football season was good as well and I also went to tenerife and also got to see al murray twice and also see andy abraham and get his autograph. I also saw tony from corry in panto and went to see dancing on ice as well. Plus i went to see feel the noise
Only bad thing is that my aunty and uncle split up again and my cousin had a miscarrage but shes just got engaged so thats another good thing

You shouldnt of put the Average option lol

It was the 2nd shittest year of the noughties, with 2007 being the shittest.
