I can't believe some people said yes to balance out the eternal DS whingers. Congratulations on not having the worst year in the world, dudes.

Yes and perhaps it's because I'm not a celebrity.

I've had a great year - seen a couple of close family friends die, which was dreadfully sad, but in every other respect it's been brilliant. Achieved an ambition by moving into a lovely big detached house, had success with the business and seen friends and family doing well.

Don't know what more one could expect.

Started well. I'd just moved into my new flat and started my first 'proper' job in April, doing research in the Civil Service in Westminster. And I just loved it so so much. I was so so proud, I adore research, I adore London, my health wasn't good but I was working so hard.

And then in November I had to stop work because they said I am too poorly and 'not in the right place to work yet', even though they said they know what I would be capable of if I was well. And I tried to jump in front of a train, ended up with an alert out for me because British Transport Police were so concerned I wouldn't get home safely, and am ending my year having spent Christmas in hospital detained under the Mental Health Act, unable to eat Christmas dinner because food is so terrifying and paralysing in my head, and with blood glucose dropping so low that almost daily I am having to either drink juice or have an ambulance called.

So yeah. That's cheerful. On the bright side, 2017 should easily be a nicer year, surely? Next aim: Home for NYE.

Sorry to hear this. I hope you get the help that you need to come out of this. x

Mixed year

Was in a job that was horrible up till May before taking the plunge and quitting without another job to go to- I just wanted to sleep for months. It was fantastic to be liberated and before I run out of money I was able to do some improvements to my flat and watched the Olympics and Euro 2016 in its entirety.
My new job that I've been at for almost 4 Months is great as are the team.

One death at beginning of year followed by a birth towards the end.

Personally, 2016 has very much been a year of two halves. So many things to look forward to in 2017 and just need to make sure I build the savings back up to be able to pay for it all!

Good luck to all in 2017.
