Hiding in the shadows

It's had a few lows, but way way more highs both personally & professionally.

Work wise.. I've been given some amazing opportunities, may take time to establish but I'm confident they'll work out.

Personally, I couldn't have forseen certain events occurring, took me by surprise, as certainly wasn't on my agenda, but I couldn't be happier.

Life in 2018 has been pretty good

Didn't quite work out as planned. Retired to see more of my family and move house. I've seen less of my family and friends than when I worked full time in a job that took me around the country.

My days are spent in either Lewisham, Guy's or St Thomas's hospitals.

Although it's been a shit year I'm not complaining. I'm one good friend down. She retired 19 December last year. Christmas day her daughter noticed her eyes were yellow. By new year's day she was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. She died in June.

Roll on 2019.

Had a sales job with lots of travel around the uk but found it hard to meet fab friends. Switch jobs to something very local to home.

Had a couple of lovely but short holidays.

Then I was knocked off my Harley and been in hospital for a month. Now home but in a wheelchair until I’m given the ok to use my legs.

Very happy to be alive and looking forward to seeing what next year brings!

"It has been the worst year of my life so far and I can’t wait for it to be over. "

Second worst year of my life. Just pipped by last year which was so traumatic it left me suffering from PTSD. I left my ex to stop the rot and to try and make sure things stopped getting worse and worse and it worked... it was less fucking awful. I'm looking to start turning my life around in 2019. If that can just be an awful year I'll be happy

Talking on the forums and focusing on the positive has helped get me through 2018. But I'm still a bit black and blue and feeling a bit low that I've now got to bring Fab to an end to move forward. You guys were excellent drinking buddies haha

Sorry to hear about your year Tina I became unexpectedly single late last year. Unexpected in the sense that I finally realised my relationship with my ex was unsalvageable. So against every grain in my romantic spiritual moral being I walked away. But it was absolutely the right decision. So I'm comforted by that. I thought having fun on here would lift my spirits. And I guess it did for a while, though not in the way I expected. But now I'm missing love much more than sex. So it's time to reconnect with my source and find that deeper love inside myself that will see me through. Good luck xx

Like most people, it's been a year of highs and lows. I try to be philosophical about it, such as "you can't appreciate the good times without the bad", there's always sunshine after rain', it's the ying and yang of live. But I still get a little bummed out about stuff. Sometimes life is just plain shit at times and there is not much we can do about it, but try and stay positive. I think our transient way of modern living and lack of community and belonging does not help are mental outlook when we are down.

Upon saying that, as a society we are more prepared to accept that our mental state of mind is nothing to be ashamed of, as we all feel low at some point and we are more prepared to reach out and admit we need someone's arm to lean on in our darkest days.

I envisage next year will be much the same, there will be laughter, tears, celebration and reflection. Some people will love me, some will dislike me and some will be indifferent.

For those of you that have had a bad time this year, I wish you a better tomorrow and to remember that you are unique and that there are good times just around the corner.

"Fabulous 'Year of Festivals in the Sun' - 9 at the last count, including the one day ones....plus letting go of the second career and working on the third - fingers crossed, could be interesting!! "

That's so cool Frisky. This is what I'm hoping for from 2019. I'm hoping to backpack around India for a month. Maybe take a trip back to the States and explore what my connections in silicon Valley can open up for me. Maybe do the crazy sex festival in Sweden and Swingfields (if they'll have a single guy who isn't on Fab... maybe one of you kind women will team up with me to form a couple so we can get in for that?). Just start living large again after 5 awful years. Turn the page and blow off the cobwebs. The only way is up. I had a really good chat with a life coach earlier today. So I'm already working on trying to turn things around. Sewing good seeds for 2019

Yeah me and my legendary soft skills are on the hunt for inspiration! A friend of a friend, someone training to do life coaching (an experienced counsellor) has also asked to give me free coaching as a guinea pig for her course. I'm up for that, I love a bit of analysis lol!!

"Been an interesting one for me! Didn't expect to find myself single again so summer was a bit shitty..... but as they say everything happens for a reason!

Having some fun now though and 2019 looks like there could be lots of naughty fun and shenanigans!! The last 6 weeks of 2018 to get through yet but 2 weeks in Oz will help with that!! So all in all not too bad!

Sorry to hear about your year Tina I became unexpectedly single late last year. Unexpected in the sense that I finally realised my relationship with my ex was unsalvageable. So against every grain in my romantic spiritual moral being I walked away. But it was absolutely the right decision. So I'm comforted by that. I thought having fun on here would lift my spirits. And I guess it did for a while, though not in the way I expected. But now I'm missing love much more than sex. So it's time to reconnect with my source and find that deeper love inside myself that will see me through. Good luck xx

*Tiana darn autocorrect "

Thank you... I wish you loads of luck too. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to meet someone...sometimes we need time by ourself to work out who we are as a singleton....can be quite confronting when you're so used to being part of a couple. I hope you find what you are looking for! As for me... I'm just going with the flow and telling myself the Universe has got my back and anything meant for me won't pass me by!! xx

Never thought I'd have another year quite as bad as 2016.

Then 2018 came around and said "hold my beer and watch this!"

No seriously. My year's been hell through and through. Too much personal trouble in my personal and love life. Failure on the professional working front. Going through the whole thing about building a life in a foreign country away from home all over again. Getting cheated on twice by the same ex.

Yeah. 2018 can do one.

The first six half was great, met lots of new people and had loads of fun.

Then after a CT scan in July something suspicious was found and in August I was diagnosed with lung cancer and told I would need the upper lobe of my left lung removed.

September I had the operation and thanks to a remarkably skillful surgeon and his team at St.James's hospital the affected area was removed along with its Lymph nodes, saving two thirds of the lobe. I am now free of cancer and recovering speedily.

So all in all an eventful year!

I don't know where to start.

Cause of you guys on here and the laughs and fun I've had in Townhouse, it's been one of the best years of my life. As a self awareness exercise, Fab and TH have been mind blowing for me. I can't really articulate what you all have done.

All's I can say is, thank you all and I hope next year is even better than this one.

Only downside for this year is, I know I work too much.

To everyone who has had a crap year, it doesn't last, things will get better and to anyone who has lost any loved ones, you will see them again, trust me.

What's next for me, oh yeah the big 4-0 on Sunday.

I'm the same. As you lot can probably imagine I'm more than happy to open up about my feelings. There's no point asking someone for advice if you're not going to be totally transparent about what's going on with you. I did this weird dance therapy session earlier in the year with a specialist practitioner and she told me to really let go. I went totally bonkers and she was pretty blown away haha I think she was used to the reserved British thing. Fuck that! I'm totally comfortable being emotionally courageous

Good luck with being a Guinea pig Frisky. My one's gonna cost a bit. But after chatting to her I get the sense she's going to be very much worth it. She's also a specialist in dating advice so that should be FASCINATING

For Carol, things had changed enormously this year. Met new friends, met new lovers, had a fun time, some would say escape. I say being the person I should be. Only a ts/tv will fully understand this.

The me me inside carol, the nadir has been reached, not out of the hole, still a huge pile of shit in the way!

Now, gone from having one all consuming job to doing three! Money is not as important as it was. Will be on medication for the rest of my life. Might need to go into hospital again.

That is really nice Babs

Best way to describe my 2018:

Emotional rollercoaster

Moved from London to Midlands. Lived in London all my life and all the people I grew up with are there! Left fab and all the lovely friends I had. Went on three amazing holidays. Now things have settled down and I am used to my new area I am back on fab! Whoop whoop!

Looking forward to 2019 and making new friendships!

Traffic land

It’s not been too bad, I’m thankful this is the first year in three that I’ve not suffered a close family bereavement. Financially it’s been another roller coaster, my ex decided to stop paying maintenance which made things incredibly difficult and took almost 5 months to sort out.

I distanced myself from what I thought had been a very close group of friends, but came to the realisation that I was only as good as their use for me, although hard at the time, I feel much better for it. On the flip side to this, a relatively new friendship has flourished and we’ve had some great fun this last year.

I’ve been drifting for a while now, so 2019 is the year to make plans and set goals and to try and work out what it is I really want out of life heading towards my mid forties.

Ultimately my kids and I are happy and healthy, I can’t ask for more than that
