Came home from my sis's on Saturday not feeling too great and by Sunday flu had taken hold. Have been in bed most of this week and today am just managing to start to do things. Am a bit brassed off cos I was supposed to be working yesterday and today but had to ring in sick. Firstly, am brassed off cos its been 2 1/2 years since I was last off sick and am not too happy about having to break that and secondly I was hoping to get loads of stuff done in the office with it been a quiet time. Still life is what it is.

Now what I really am brassed off about is that we were supposed to be going out with N&G tonight and we've had to cancel on them, something which I don't like doing and I was really looking forward to going out with them. We've got another night out planned for Saturday so fingers crossed for that one!

Looking back on 2008 for me its been a good year. Holiday wise I've done some great things, our friendship with N&G has really come on leaps and bounds. Work wise our team has really turned a corner and I'm really pleased about being part of that. Of course, R moved in with R in June and although I've missed her and still do its been great to see her so happy.

Where our M is concerned its certainly been a turbulent year but since he's been going out with H he seems to have settled down and I'm hoping his next step will be to sort himself with a career. He's still working in the pub which has been great for him and I'm not knocking it but long term its not going to be a great way of providing him and any family he may have with a fantastic future but I'm certain that he'll come up trumps in the end.

Looking forward to 2009. Well me and hubby are going to Cuba in March which will be an adventure. Of course me and N will be off to London in February. My personal goal is to keep happy, do well in my new job and to carry on having a great social life.

Here's to 2009 I think it may be a bit of a difficult year with the economy in the state its currently in but as long as we can keep happy, healthy and have a roof over our heads that in my opinion is all that you can wish for.

Bye xx
