Survey of the year 2011

Getting a couple of posts in before we go away to Disneyland tomorrow, so here's the now traditional survey of this year:

1. What did you do this year that you've never done before?

built and used a sensory room in the loft, gave injections to my baby, wore a clit clip, demo-subbed for a product stand at a play party, held a birthday party at the sealife centre with 12 kids, had sex outdoors.... many things! 

2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

i purposefully didn't make any this year and feel much freer because of it, so not planning to make any for next year unless Sir tells me to.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth this year?

my sister gave birth to a little boy called Callum and he is gorgeous :)

4. Did anyone close to you die?

my nan did and it was sad, but she had a good life (she was 100).

5. What countries did you visit this year?

we are just about to visit France (Disneyland Paris), right at the end of the year!

6. What would you like to have in the next year that you lacked this year?

i honestly can't think of anything, though i am really looking forward to going to the London Olympics in August next year, so that should be good :)

7. What date from this year will remain etched upon your memory and why?

30th September - the date my sister gave birth (early) to her first baby.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

learning to tolerate the single-tail whip being used on me without panicking.

9. Did you suffer illness or injury?

nothing beyond the usual colds, i've been quite healthy this year.

10. What did you get really, really, really excited about this year?

my sister's baby being born and our trip to Disneyland Paris.

11. What song will always remind you of this year?

can't really think of one, though the Sesame Street theme tune will serve to remind me of Finn's obsession with Elmo this year!

12. Compared to this time last year are you:- happier or sadder? :- richer or poorer? :- thinner or fatter?

happier (a little) because i am more accepting of William's disability and can see the fantastic progress he has managed to make, about the same financially and about the same weight wise though probably a little thinner as i have got rid of the baby weight from last year.

13. What do you wish you'd done more of?

been more patient with people making annoying comments about William - i'll try to work on this next year.

14. What do you wish you'd done less of?

falling asleep while using the laptop in the evenings - i'm going to get myself in trouble about it one of these days.

15. Did you fall in love this year?

i am already in love and that has continued to grow.

16. What was your favourite TV program for the year?

again, i haven't watched much TV this year but i have enjoyed 'Miranda', 'Outnumbered' and 'An idiot abroad' on the internet, as well as Big Brother.

17. What was the best book you read this year?

i don't think i had time to read a single book this year :(, too busy with the kids. Maybe next year?

18. What was your favourite film of the year?

Arthur Christmas, not because it was an amazing film but because it was the first one i have taken the twins to see at the cinema and they were so well-behaved and it got me in the Christmas spirit.

19. Who was the best new person you met this year?

moly (from the chatroom).

20. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned for this year?

that sometimes i won't be able to achieve everything Sir wants me to in my training, but so long as i try my best He'll still be pleased with me.
