Looking Back...

2011 was an odd year! I knew it would be a difficult one and back in January wasn't entirely sure I would get to the end without some kind of meltdown.

2011 has consisted of: three jobs, one redundancy, two company closures, two months of unemployment, leaving our home of 4 and a half years, putting our whole life in storage 250 miles apart (Hull & Sussex!), lodging with a crazy lady, being homeless for 6 weeks or so, living out of B&B's (staying in one place where the bathroom was ripped out whilst we were at work, no joke, no shower that day either!) oh and buying a house.  Phew talk about one or two changes!

We also did some pretty exciting things too, we went to Ireland for a family marriage blessing, met some brilliant new people in Oxfordshire, kept in touch with some lovely people from home, bought a house (fun as well as stressful!) oh and discovered an excellent pub within cycling distance!

On a personal blogging level, I attended Plus London 2011, and went to FSS both of which were a lot of fun. I put together some half decent outfits or I think so at least! My favourite being this one:
My favourite outfit of 2011: pictured on  a remote part of the west coast of Ireland.
This photo makes me feel like a mermaid! 

I gathered one or two new followers! I am so grateful for all you patient people who follow me and my ramblings! So would like to give a shout out to a few folk who read my posts and take time to comment, apologies if I've missed any of you out, I only went back a couple of months before I realised I have to get off the sofa soon!


Wishing everyone who reads my little corner of the internet a Happy new year, however you celebrate it! Will see you in the new year!

  3. Happy New Year! May 2012 be a little less....eventful! I've seen the New Year in with a Terra Nova fest, broken up with 15 minutes of BBC1 so we could see the fireworks, and washed it all down with vodka and absinthe cocktails x
