Last day of the year in 2015 (Thank God)

Well here we are, facing the last day of the year again. New Years Eve! It's always a bit scary; the thing is, it always feel like you have to have a great time on New Years Eve or it doesn't bode well for the coming year. This year has been so bad, I don't want to celebrate, I want it to pass painlessly so we can glide smoothly into 2016. At the very best, I want to spend the time quietly with my children, maybe a meal out or a takeaway meal. I'd like to watch Jules Holland on the television in his annual hootenanny, large drink in hand.

So what are the highlights and lowlights of this year. Definitely more lowlights in 2015.

So I'll deal with them first.

Lowlights

My much loved mum passed away

My Uncle George (mum's oldest brother) passed away.

My Uncle Ronnie (mum's youngest brother) passed away.

I've piled on weight

My masters dissertation has come to a standstill

I've hardly done any paining 

Am feeling sluggish and unwell.

Miss my mum and my uncles

Highlights

I acquired some keyboards and have taken up piano again (which I love)

Have started to sing again

Have started to improve a bit on the guitar

Have met some nice people

Had a holiday in Rhodes with the girls

Got an IPad

Got  a variety of musical equipment

Started a local arts group 

There's so much to think about for 2016, so many projects that I need to complete. 

Finish my masters degree

Sort out domestic affairs

Complete some business ideas

Expand arts group

Paint more

Write more

Improve musical skills

Improve my YouTube channels and blogs

Socialise more

Get away more

And the usual .......... Lose weight and get fitter :-)

So wish me luck. And I wish you all a Happy New Year and only great things for us all in 2016

Are you having a good christmas?

So Christmas has been and gone yet again. In all honestly, this Christmas hasn't been a bad one. It becomes an increasing struggle to try to make sure the kids get decent presents and everyone has what they need. No easy feat as a single mum. But, I did manage it and everything  went off without any major hitch. My Mum, as usual, was ill over Christmas, the ever increasingly frequent UTI struck. Worrying of course!. Ellie has been in a Pantomime, which has also been quite problematic, as it has meant getting her there and back without the use of a car. But its been worth it and great experience for her. The Panto is the first one in the newly refurbished Epstein Theatre (formerly the Neptune) and is a production of Cinderella, starring Sonia, Philip Olivier, Nikki Graham and various other performers. It seems to be going well.I got some nice presents, which I will show you on my other Blog, which I use to review stuff and discuss Health and Beauty matters. I may also show them on my Youtube channel. Please feel free to look at both if you get the chance. http://violetvibrations.blogspot.co.uk/http://www.youtube.com/user/liverpoolboxingbabyAnd it just leaves me to wish you a Very Happy Christmas, and a wonderful New Year. I feel that 2013 is going to be a good one. All the Best XXX
