2016!

Something about the look of 2016 just makes me warm to it. Something makes me think it's going to be a good year for me. I'm not entirely sure why, I can't quite put my finger on it, but, something just feels good. I'm not sitting here saying that I'm gonna be a new me in the New Year, but, I would like to think that I'm going to be a slightly improved or upgraded version of the person I've been over the last year. I don't think I'm a bad person, just think there are ways that I could maybe better myself.

It seems insane to think that 2016 is only a few days away. Almost impossible. I remember when I was a kid, I never used to get the hype about New Year. I just thought it was an excuse for adults to have a drink, sing that song while holding hands, and cry about being hungover the next day? Well, I spent a couple of New Years Day mornings hugging the toilet and sleeping on the bathroom floor, but that's another story.

It's all over so soon!

I can't believe it's Christmas time already - this year has gone so quick! It feels like my birthday was only yesterday, and I worked up until Christmas Eve, so I guess it feels like it's just flown by. I just want to say I hope you, and all your families had the most amazing Christmas, and I'm sure for some it will be the first without a loved one, but just believe that it will get easier - I've spent a few without my Dad now, and it does get easier, I promise.

I MADE IT!

21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 

I do not even know where to begin! How on earth have I managed to make it to 21? I can't believe it - how my poor mother hasn't killed me I do not know.

Wellllllllllllll, I do not even know where to begin, so I'll start by saying a huuuuuuuuge THANK YOU!!!! to everybody that sent me messages through all kinds of social media as well as good old cards - your words, wishes, and gifts are honestly so appreciated, and I can't thank you enough. Sorry if it took me a short while to get back to you, I was in.....
