[¡Cereal Killer!]

Made it - Finally left England for only the second time (1st time was for a day in Germany) to embark on backpacking around China and South East Asia.

Ruined It - Ran out of money aftr 2 months after only spending a month in China and a month in Vietnam (still great times though)

Made it - Ending with a girl I was with for 7-8 months in April and now have been dating a much better girl (who supports Brighton) for 2 months

Ruined it - 6th November (8 days before I turned 20) I took a massive slice out of my thumb at work after breaking a cup in my hand, had an operation the next day to repair a sliced tendon and have only just yesterday (Monday) gone back to work. (Although I did get paid sick leave for 3 weeks for doing jack shit )

Ruined it (sorry needed another one) - My Mum being in and out of hospital throughout the year for various reasons. She was in hospital over last xmas but she came out in April so we celeberated on the 6th of April when it SNOWED! but she has since broken her leg and hip so has been in hospital quite a lot.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Made it: Getting to the final year of my degree on track for a first
Made it: Being genuinely happy about my situation in life, and being happy for who i am.

Ruined it: Getting to final year on track for a first - all too daunting a prospect!
Ruined it: 15 year old neighbour who is like a sister to me getting leukemia. Given her first all clear now, but still has to take chemo meds so the fucker stays away.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

My year was ruined, when I lost my girlfriend. I miss her so damn badly, and I can't move on because it is to damn hard. I love her with all my heart, FOREVER.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

worst: breaking up with my girlfriend

best: realising that breaking up with her was for the best and meeting someone who i think i can be much happier with, but still remaining best friends with me ex, who means a lot to me

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Made it; Winning Tut cup.
Ruined it; Somehow not getting a ticket.

Best : as above but with ticket.
Worst: Mum's Alzheimers

 

[bhaexpress]

Worst (such as that was). My Filipina 'moving on'. Not that bad because I am spared a lot of hassle.

Best (such as that was) Said Filipina wanting back when it turned out her new grass was not so green the irony being that somebody far more suitable has taken her place.

Yes it's not been that exciting a year.

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Jesus H I didn't expect to hear as many grim ''RUINED'' stories. Lickergate certainly pales in comparison to some of the posts I have just read. I know it is early days but really hope EVERYONE on NSC has a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS and a BEAUTIFUL 2009.

Peace and Love from Nippon

Ruined - Being told after 5 years hard to graft to a senior position that ' due to the economic climate in the US my contract was to be terminated
