12 Dec 2004

Has it been a good one ,.or not so good? What stands out that makes this year a memorable one for you?,,,City beating United 4 - 1 was a good memory,,,,,Going to T in the park,,my 1st festival for ages was good too. But the one thing that stands out and has changed my life a fair bit was,,,,, going to a club for our first dabble at swinging, biggrin

:D :D ,,oh, and chattin to you lot i,, erm,,, suppose wink

12 Dec 2004

Well,
The first 3 quarters have not been great for various reasons, this last quarter has picked up a wee bit but i cant wait to get 2004 over and done with to be honest.
Lets hope that 2005 is a better year folks.

12 Dec 2004

Been a mixture of good and bad really ....
Started off in January going to Las Vegas for a week .... outstanding trip and if we could we'd move there in a heartbeat. Can't wait to go back in 2006.
Car crash in May sad

Morbius and his uni course going really really well ....
Operation mid summer for me wasn't so good but whilst convalescing I found SH ....
Couple of munches, loads of new friends, Satins & Steve_Lincs Parties.
Started a new job.
Stepdaughter being diagnosed with Leukaemia has dominated the last two months :(
So a mixed bag for us .....

12 Dec 2004

In terms of swinging, it's been a fab year. We've done things we'd never even thought about a year ago and loved every minute of it :twisted:
But in otherways, it's not been so good. sad

Here's hoping for better things in 2005 :P

Not been a great year what with seperating from my wife but im hoping the new year brings me a new lease of to meet lots of lovely people on here before I leave for europe in the summer

12 Dec 2004

Started the year with cancer
Ending it in remission with loads of new friends on here so it got better with time!

2004 has brought about major changes in my life, some good, some not so good.
It started out with heartache which brought difficult choices and challenges, but I've learned a lot, grown a lot and rediscovered me.
So here's drinkies

to 2005. May the next years challenges be less damaging and the rewards more abundant.

Libra-Love that sort of sums up my year, i just wouldn't have been able to put it so eloquently.

Well 2004 started very badly but since we joined this site in April things have been looking up for us.
I'm more in love with Clare than ive ever been and weve met some great people from here,so heres to a fantastic 2005 biggrin

:D

12 Dec 2004

Well I started 2004 full of hope.. and this year I met the love of my life, went abroad for the first time in ages and discovered swinging!!
And the best bit.. I got pregnant biggrin

Next year should be pretty good as well because the baby will arrive and we're getting married!!!! :D

12 Dec 2004

Generally 2004 has been a good year for me.
It got even better when I changed over to the forum (from the photo ads) and have meet some great people, laughted a lot at some of the posts (some of you are totally totally mad)
And best of all, have had lots of very special fun with a very special person

12 Dec 2004

NEW JOB
NEW FOUND CONFIDENCE
NEW FRIENDS
NEW CAR
PAID OFF STUDENT LOAN
Good year all round cool

12 Dec 2004

worst year of my life. i coulnt handle another one like it

12 Dec 2004

Bit of a mixed bag here for this year.
Started off ok, had a few financial probs, all seem to be sorted now.
Job going very well, whoo hoo.
Then just when you think the year is over, we had a death in the family on Thursday.
My partners Father.
So lets hope 2005 gets off to a better start than 2004 finished.

Mixed bag for me too. Started the year with a boyfriend, not much money but not too bad and recovering from nearly a year of being separated from my ex husband. Divorce arrives, bit of an anti climax really, wasn't happy wasn't upset, just thought 'oh well thats it then'. Plodded along until the summer when I took the kids on holiday twice and didn't enjoy it much either time, in fact the second one was hell on earth :cry: Finished with boyfriend who turned out to be a lying cheated bastard (who still rings me to tell me how terrible his life is even though he is living with his current gf and her baby rolleyes

)
Plodded along a bit more until someone started talking about munches and swinging on another website that I frequent. Sounded like fun so I plucked up the courage to place an ad or two, then met a guy or two, then went to a party or two. Started to thoroughly enjoy single life, realised the benefits of being my own boss and doing exactly what I felt like doing instead of living up to someone elses expectations.
Now? Still money probs, some things never change, but feeling more positive about my life most of the time and more settled than I have felt in years. Bit relieved the year is over all in all though, I sincerely hope next year is a great one for everyone.

12 Dec 2004

Oh, it's been a fairly uneventful year really.
Won Â£26 million on the lottery.
Awarded the Nobel prize for peace.
Discovered the cure for cancer.
Only 7 Oscars this year.
Set a new land speed record.
Let's hope 2005 is a bit less tedious.
:silly: :silly: :silly:

12 Dec 2004

The most incredible topsy-turvy year I could imagine. Fantastic challenges - fantastic experiences and some new good friends - some from around here. Woo Hoo! hump

:wanker:

12 Dec 2004

It's been pretty crappy.
Constant never ending severe job stress to the extent that I ended up on meds (though off them now). Teeterinig on the brink of redundancy since around March (hopefully this will come to some resolution within the next 4 weeks). Continued singledom. Barely had time to catch up in person with friends and family for most of the year because they are all so far away.
On the bright side I'm no longer totally broke.

12 Dec 2004

2004:
I invented sex.
I met Zorba the Greek Rampant Rabbit.
I didn't go to a munch..until the Gatley micro munch on December 25th!
Linda Barker became my Swinging conkered.
Didn't get my lemon tart dessert at my works Christmas it wasn't the first time - Ran out of time for Lemon merangue pie at a Frankie and Bennys once as well - The moral is - DON'T order ANY from of Lemon dessert for,er,dessert.
Realised(26 years after it was first released)that they were singing "Uptown Top RANKin'"!!!!!!!!!!
I ate loads of boxes of Shredded Wheat - but the cardboard tasted awful so I ate the actual Shredded Wheat instead.

It's been one long mad roller-coaster of a ride. The highs were death defying and the lows almost took me to breaking point.
A year ago, if someone had told me that I'd be meeting people off the internet - and a swinging site at that - going to clubs, Munches, parties, buying rubber garments off eBay redface

and being spanked black and blue (well, red to start with) - well, I'd have given them a slap!
For me, 2004 has been the year of SH - 'cos I've done bugger all else!! lol

12 Dec 2004

Personally, it has been a bloody good year. Which seems to have coincided to just about everyone I care about having something shitty happen to them.
So big <HUGS> for anyone who has had anything bad happen to them, cos I've got them to spare at the moment.

12 Dec 2004

it's been an odd year for me and coming to almost the end of it has me more confused than ever about what I want etc.
Some highs and some lows but the best part has to have been meeting and chatting to so many new friends and for that I'd like to thank you all kiss

Still a hell of a lot of people I'd like to meet and some I've met that I'd like to get to know better.

12 Dec 2004

For me 2004 has been on of the best years i can remember.
over the last few months i have ben having a great time, and its amilny donw to ths sight. ive meet so many new people this year, and made a hell of a lot of friends, and also done things that i would never thought i would ever do. given the fact swinging never crossed my mind utill i stumbled across this sight.
i've obtained a nice holiday home (due to father moving to cornwall) which if i can talk him in to vacating for a few weeks woud make a great party venue!. ive been promoted at work. got stuck in a lift at 2:30 in the moring with 2 senior very drunk directors, and having to demloish the doors to get out.
Lets just hope 2005 starts of with a bang
JGL

12 Dec 2004

Just to say the year started off badly healthwise but got better
The One thing this year has brought me is new friends, all from Swinging heaven, people, who, have in their own way, enriched my life as well as my year beyond belief
some I have met and some i havent as yet. But you all have brought joy n laughter, reduced me to tears at times , and nearly wet myself laughing at others,
Ive had some great Times this year at parties Munches etc Thanks to you all for a great year
Heres to 2005 and all the special people in my life
Thank you and God Bless
Love n Hugs
Vicky kiss

I re-discovered that being single can be fun.
Realised that my boss is an arsehole.
Decided that I don't want to spend most of the rest of my life in the cab of a truck.
Discovered SH and a social life I can relate to.
So big thanks to everyone who's been a part of it all.
Happy Christmas and New Year to you all and I hope to meet more of you in 2005.

13 Dec 2004

'04 has been a great year for me:
It's the year I finally realised she was taking the piss and got her out of my life.
It's the year I stopped being 40.
It's the year I got my first convertible.
It's the year I moved out of the big lonely house and into the cosy little flat.
It's the year I made more new friends than in any previous year.
And best of all, it's the year I discovered Swinging Heaven, munches, jacuzzis, hundreds of lovely lunatics and the word "flounce". biggrin

:D
