As one goes out and another comes in..

Another year about over and I'm sat pondering on 2006. It was an ok year as years go

Some highlights of 2006 were

Work wise:

I did well out of the NHS job description and pay reforms. Got graded up as a specialist nurse and got a very healthy raise with it

I got my Diploma in Clinical Practice and enough CAT points to do my degree

I got given more managerial responsibility then my grade should allow

Fun wise:

I went to Paris

I met some online friends, Shaun from Lincolnshire and Helly from LA

Family wise:

My girls are happy and doing well in school

My parents, brother and sister are healthy and happy

Personally:

I began to believe in me

I met some great friends

I am happy

so, I'm not making any actual resolutions because I'll break them but in 2007 I intend to

Go to the US
Stop smoking completely, using the motivation of needing money for my trip

Continue to eat healthily

Try not to cry when Bethan goes to High School in September

Help Jessica pick the right subject options for her GCSEs

Continue to believe in me and continue to believe I deserve to be happy

Pick my degree course and start saving for it

Have more stuff in my funwise section next year...

Write some better blogs

Stay in touch with and value the friendships I have made

Get out more - yep, I put that in for someone in particular who keeps telling me that

Heres a cute pic of Bethan, my baby all growed up, in the birthday outfit we shopped for yesterday. She'll be 11 on the 16th January

You have a beautiful daughter, Lisa! Good yearly goals. Is that something you do in Wales? New Year's resolutions, or something like that? Thank goodness we don't do that here in the US or I'd feel guilty for continuing to be a lazy slob...oh wait.
