My highlights were February when I saw Viva a few times when she came to UK for a short while, May & June when I had my first holiday abroad in a long time and was my first holiday to Philippines, but even better I got to spend that time with Viva , being a movie extra in the new Les Miserables musical and being in scenes with Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman, the London Olympics, buying my new car and the Ellie Goulding gig in London a couple of weeks back. There are others, but can't remember them all!

Not so good things were being made redundant recently (although if I find a job soon, that being made redundant could be a good thing), old car costing a fortune when it kept playing up causing much hassle and grief, 4 water leaks in my flat which cost to sort out and meant I had to re-decorate and the non-stop rain and not much sun throughout the year!
