Being super depressed probably as I had just dropped out of school and my horse died in November 2005.

On this day in 2006 I was packing up to relocate from Kent to West Yorkshire. I also left the best job I'd ever had.

Can't remember 2006 but 1996 I was just waking up in a strange woman's bed and struggling to remember how I got there.
We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last year.

Moved house and changed school. Oh, boy, what a disaster that'd turn out to be.

I was in secondary school. I also think it was the year I broke my nose whilst on holiday.

I was caught up in the travel chaos due to the terrorist threat in the August, after attending my father in law's funeral. It's the only time I've known an entire flight to pass in complete silence, until the wheels touched down on hte tarmac, at which point people cried and cheered.
After many years of being desperate to move house, I finally moved back to my home town. It was a huge move and a very positive one, with hindsight.

I was seventeen years old and the first half of the year was deeply unhappy, I had barely any sort of social life and a general feeling I'd wasted most of the decade so far. Went on a family holiday to Ireland in the May - my first time abroad in five years and my first post-9/11, which may have been a while ago even then but still made me slightly nervous during the hour-long plane journey!
The summer was gloriously hot - probably the last really amazingly warm one until July 2013 - and while I didn't have many people to spend it with, I enjoyed watching the World Cup and Season 2 of Doctor Who in the good weather. Musically I was listening to a lot of dance music that would barely make the charts, although the occasional track - Nelly Furtado's 'Maneater', Lily Allen's 'Smile', James Morrison's 'You Give Me Something' amongst others - remind me of warm summer days at least. My 18th birthday in the September, mostly a family event. Ended the year with 'Deal or No Deal' being the unmissable TV show of the moment, listening to Razorlight and the Scissor Sisters and hoping 2007 would be a little busier and happier. Happily it did and the rest of the 2000s were among some of the greatest years of my life - 2006 wasn't the best but it did at least end with some later-proven hope that a new, brighter age was on the corner for me. |

That year was good, I remember clearly, I changed career and moving in to my own brand new flat. The year I met my partner.
I remeber that day when that whale was spotted in the thames and only a year after was Cutty Sark on fire. |

I really can't remember other than changing jobs. Lots of my friends at my old company got made redundant that year. The place got so depressing that I left as well. I felt a bit guilty when I realised, a few months later, that at least one of them could have kept their job if I'd left sooner. In my defence I did actually apply for redundancy at the time and was turned down. Ended up doubling my wages in a year.
I did start posting on DS as well. Oh, and my central heating broke down just after New Year and I couldn't afford to have it repaired, so I spent most of the winter under a duvet when I wasn't begging for overtime so I could stay in the office where it was warmer and raise repair money. That was another reason I was looking for a better paid job. |
