Hello OP!

How has your year been?

I'd say my year has been quite successful really. I realised a relationship wasn't healthy to me and that it wouldn't be a sign of me failing if things came to an end. Work has been very good - I was recognised for something industry wise and that made me happy. My partner and I are in a very good place currently. I've made some wonderful friends and confirmed why I love those I have already. I've started exploring kink and I've erm... reconnected with someone who is a delight for that.

And I'm a fuckton happier in myself than I was at the beginning of the year. The weight loss is continuing after my meh. I don't think I'm ugly. I rather like me, flaws and all. Even the waffling.

So yes, the year has been a good one.

Hi Meli well done on your recognition work wise that must be a great feeling,it certainly sounds like your year has had lots of positives in it. You're far from ugly,self love is a wonderful thing and it's great you now feel that.

I suppose if I really sit and think about the last year then there has been lots of positives and thing's to be grateful for. I do have a job I don't particularly like it but I have one,I have a great family/friendship and a safe roof over my head.

Relationship wise I'm still in the same place that never changes unfortunately,but it doesn't help as I'm not putting myself out there so to speak. Maybe 2022 will be my year to find someone I can call my own.

It will change for you Ignite, I have every hope and faith it will. Putting yourself out there is a bit daunting, you make yourself vulnerable and there's every possibility that when you do you'll be hurt. I hope you find the strength and energy to do that, you deserve someone to call your own, x

Not too bad. I’ve gone from £0 in saving to having almost 30k all while renting a flat and bills car etc

That’s about 10% on a house. Think I need to hit 40k to buy, so the slog continues

I'd say I've been stagnating this past year. I'm in much the same place as I was 350 days ago.

Slightly faster at running, done more cycling, but going nowhere at work and still haven't managed to get a meet let alone had any kind of sexual activity.

Feeling a bit old and useless tbh

I think it needs a bit more than an oil after 9 year's in a shed,it's a wee bit rusty now as well. It's safer for everyone if it stays where it is,but never say never.

Work wise our years have been a mixed bag.

I’ve got a good job working from home or C’s home. C works in the travel industry so it’s been very stop start…still too much insecurity about cancellations.

Vanilla wise, we’ve had a lovely year…we’ve been able to go out and actually go on dates and we’ve been to some lovely places in the UK.

FAB wise, we’ve had a fantastic time - experiencing different things, throwing ourselves into new situations. Forming friendships. It’s been a year of ticking off fantasies.

I hope you find what you are looking for Ignite…we both met on here and weren’t looking for anything more…so it does happen. You’ve just got to get yourself out there…

I hope to see you at the next MLS social.

Bit of a groundhog year if I'm honest, as was 2020. Just marking time until I can get back to what we used to call normal. No disasters, well just one, but only a few fleeting highlights. Roll on 2022 and see what that brings.

I'm older than and we're certainly not useless well not completely anyway,I'm sure Covid hasn't helped in getting a meet either. Hopefully 2022 brings a bit closer to what you want.

Lots has happened since we meet for you then you deserve it,I need some of your luck methinks. I haven't looked for a relationship for the past year as I've been concentrating on other thing's and have a good friendship with someone so haven't missed too much. There are moment's when I feel it would great,it's just making the effort bit which I'm rubbish at. The older I get the worse I am.

I think so. I bought a house , made it into a home for me and my daughter , stayed reasonably fit and healthy , kept working all year, met some lovely people here, did a bunch of photography courses and had a couple of fun holidays.

I never actually set any goals this year, I could have achieved more, especially training /gym & business but made the decision to slow down a bit and enjoy my new home.

The main thing is you have made a home for you and your daughter that's more important than training and business,you can more of that in 2022.

Very much up and down but we have all survived the past year and that’s the main thing.

Sometimes we over think thing's don't we which can stop us from events we may actually enjoy,on my first MLS I was pretty nervous but I did have someone's hand to hold so that was a great help. I think if I didn't have that I wouldn't have had the balls to go by myself.

Its been a hard year for me. Life changes not always for the best partner playing emotional games,spending quality time with p has been very limited so not even just laying cuddled up I'm missing so much

Job been exhausting

Worrying about people I loves health especially when I know they won't tell me everything.

Roll on 22 and hope things brighten up because I need to smile again

There have been a lot of positives for me this year. I started a new job, it's hard work but I'm enjoying it...and the increased pay packet. I've been able to spend quality time with my man, making happy memories...it doesn't get any easier to fly home, but, for now at least, I know travel restrictions won't stop me from going back soon. My pooch is still with me, which is a blessing every day now that he's older...I'm embracing all of his knobheadedness because that's what will make me smile in years to come when I'm missing him. I'm in a happy place, so I'd say it's been a successful year

As you say, we're alive - that is the biggest success.

This year I've advocated hard for my health. I was suicidal due to chronic pain, I was open and honest with surgeons who agreed emergency surgery was the way forward. I've got my life back, the kids have got their mum back, my husband got his wife back. I don't need pain management - I don't even need painkillers anymore! (2 years on codeine/naproxen turned me into a zombie). Being in control is such a nice feeling. Not having to fight through every day and every night.

I officially completed my undergraduate degree in January (finished it in December 2020 really though) and received my Certificate in March. So that was a nice start!

Apart from that it’s been pretty uneventful and low key as I’m keeping a lower profile than normal and trying to keep my mum and kids safe.

Nobody has died in my family, so that’s always a positive.

Hopefully 2022 will perk up and I hope to maybe get in a few day trips or something for myself and the kids as won’t be having a proper holiday as such.

It's had its ups and it's downs but every year does and I'll take them.

But I met the man I share this profile with so yes it's been a bloody good year on that alone.

I had three doomsdays as I called them and they all turned out to be successful instead of doom. One was winning a tribunal.

There is more I could list but I wouldn't want to tempt fate and others are too personal to share.

How about you OP?

Bad things in 2021:

Spent far too much time on fab.

My business/work has been a pain all year. Beginning of the year, extremely quiet and difficult times. Through the summer extremely busy so no time for me. Now we're back to where we were last December.

Good things in 2021:

I've had more sex this year than any other.

In January I moved to a nice tiny cottage in the countryside and love it there.

Even though finances are tight, my savings have improved.

I started swimming again and now do a mile twice a week first thing before I go to work. Plus I've recently joined a Yoga class for the first time since lock downs began.

I'm typing this while watching the sun go down over the dunes in Maspalomas.

The only thing I'd like to round the year off is too have all three of my boys in the same room but that isn't going to happen but they are healthy, that's all that matters.

When I was going through fertility treatment with my ex a close friend became pregnant,I'm ashamed to say I was like your friend. I didn't push her away as such I just found it incredibly painful to be around her. I did become a godparent to her child so it wasn't permament and they gave references to our social worker when we adopted so it turned out ok. Maybe within time if her situation changes she'll be in contact,motherhood can be a painful emotionally shitty journey.

"A bit of both ….

It’s been a stressful but good year work wise

Personally it’s been tinged with sadness as my Dad passed away, my mojo got up and left but I guess 2022 will be a start again opportunity and I’m thankful for another year "

On paper it's been pretty successful, couple of big achievements, but it's felt stressful AF in reality!

My Grandad died

My Dad was diagnosed with dementia and is going downhill

I've worked incessantly

I did at least one day a week vaccinating from March to September, plus bank hols

I did Park"run" on wheels

Wheelchair basketball didn't really get back up and running

Today is my 5yr injury-versary

It's been a mixed bag

Thank you. I was reminded about my Grandad this morning, as I was driving over to my Dad's actually. A song on the radio started with a solo oboe and it was enough to kick me in the feels. Grandad was amazing oboist.

I've made lots of new friends so yes, I'd say that was successful as friendships mean a lot to me.

Escaped an abusive relationship, lost 2 stone in fat, gained a stone back in muscle, new job with a pay rise and company car.

If it wasnt for covid I'd say this is the best time of my life.

Having read some of the more heartfelt and endearing replies on here - those who have lost loved ones, been affected by consequential life changes, moved jobs to be in a much happier place, 'resolved' relationship issues...I will say that for me it's been an ok 2021. And I should be thankful for that.

But I'm looking forward to 2022 with much gusto!

"No, utter shit.

I'm still alive and kicking, but the two most important people in my life are both gone.

So sod Christmas and roll on 2022.

It can only get better...or can it.

I'm so sorry to hear that."

Thank you x

Professionally it has and both my kids are healthy, happy and thriving at university. My love life is still disastrous but I’m healthy, I have food on the table and a roof over my head so it’s definitely been successful, and I’m eternally grateful.

In The Hills

A complete mix.

We lost 2 very close family members. So been very hard. My health has been a complete roller coaster.

On a positive we got married in August

I got a fabulous promotion at work. Our family are closer than ever and we have each other which is the most important thing.

That's awful I don't miss the complexities of a relationship one bit,I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life. Do you still want him?

In general I think this year has gone well.

Despite the horrific news I was loosing my home of 6 years we have moved somewhere even better. I've survived a pretty tough year at work with a new job starting in January. My boys are doing well, school finally seems to be working in a way that is right for my youngest, my middle son is starting to find his confidence more and now even has his first part time job, and his exams are going well. My eldest passed his driving test, settled in to his new home and is continuing to do well. Me, I performed in the fringe which was the most incredible experience. I know I'm very very lucky. And that despite my struggles I have all of those amazing things to be thankful for.

I'm trying very hard to keep my focus on those positive things to build on for next year

I've had a pretty good year.

Got a bit of my sanity back.

4 years ago I did retire from work at the age of 52, I did think good times are here as most would, but not really.

After the novelty wesrs off you get stuck in a rut, most people I know from my generation are still working n not seeing any workmates my social circle just got smaller n smaller n started to affect my mental health.

Then one day out of the blue got a phone call with a job offer.

So now got a great job, few people under me so I don't have to kill myself at work n now with the extra income I bought another house n rent it out very cheaply to my kids, so this has been a very good year for me.

Got order back into my life, me n the wife have got the house back to ourselves after 25 years n made a nice little investment to help the kids out in the future.

We have had quite a good year, we’ve obviously not been able to travel like we usually do so missed that but we spent lots of weeks in the lakes enjoying being on the water

I know there’s a little left of this year and hope it’s an enjoyable Christmas for everyone but here’s hoping 2022 will be a good one for all xx
