Not only the end of the month but the end of the year. 2012 has been a real mixed bag for our family with some lovely highs and some awful lows but that old saying 'what doesn't break you makes you stronger' is very apt and I think we must be a very strong family now!
So, December, my old friend, what numbers can I take from you?
A Gazillion and ninety three - number of calories I have consumed, mainly via chocolate and sloe gin. But I have enjoyed each and every one.
55 - the age my husband became on that memorable date ....12.12.12
730 The number of attendees to the Senior Presentation Evening my colleague and I organised at work
44 special awards presented at the ceremony, 160 GCSE certificates and 108 A Levels presented
2 left foot boots bought by me as a present for my daughter. That was as much a surprise for me as it was for her when she unwrapped them ...'Erm, mum, why isn't there a right foot?'
1 trip to Zara in Cambridge on Friday to resolve the 2 left feet issue
5 the model of the new iphone I upgraded to on Saturday. I loved the iphone 4 I've had for 2 years, and have high hopes for the new one
1 the number of M&S liquid salted caramel chocolates I am trying to restrict myself to every day.
2 the number of times I haven't given in and had a 2nd, or 3rd
1 number of Ugg boots ruined by the dog
Now head on over to Julie's blog and see what December has brought for other people.
Have a good NYE whatever you have planned and see you in 2013!
We had the boot incident happen to us - but we were unable to sort as had bought while on holiday in France. I seem to remember I was being quite adventurous and had bought roller boots - maybe had a lucky escape :0)
ReplyDeleteHave a brilliant New Year x
LOL at the two left feet incident!!! Hope you got it resolved!! Oh No! at the dog ruined UGG...not a cheap disaster!! You still have a few hours to clear out all remaining M&S caramel chocolates...go for it!!! Hope to see you at Enfield on the 12th? I have a day off in leiue, so can make it...result!! Happy New Year! :D
ReplyDeleteWell I'm afraid I did one better on the boot front. Tried on one because I was in a hurry and then bought the pair without trying on the other only to realise that I had bought one size 4 and one size 6! Quick trip to Ipswich to resolve the problem. Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing you next Saturday x
ReplyDeleteCan just imagine your daughter's face when she opened the boots!....thank goodness I didn't get any of these salted caramels-I wouldn't be as good as you!!....Hope next year has more highs than lows
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
Glad the boot issue was easily rtesolved. My method is to go ahead and eat all the caramels so I am no longer tempted lol ;> Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove the first one!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd your blog header is lovely.
Happy New Year to you!
Rinda
the caramels sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year - here's hoping you won't be tested again [but at least you know that strength's there].
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope there are no chocolates left now [some things you are allowed to be weal around!]
Thanks so much for joining in once again and for sharing your festive statistics.
All the best for 2013
Julie :-)
