Your achievements of 2006

[tcm]

31st of December is a good time to take stock, and for myself i note that i have already stopped smoking for minus one day. Anyone else with perhaps even more remarkable achievements this year?

We just missed the final refuse collection of the year and are surrounded by wrappers, does that count?

I've stopped smoking for minus one day too!

Dang. I gave up posting on this forum when I sold my sailboat.

i lost half a stone between the beginning of November and mid-December, which is... oooo..... 2.5% of my body mass. Trouble is I put it all back on again in the past two weeks. The only blessing is that I would now be half a stone heavier if I hadnt lost it in the first place !!

On the water, we took part in the RTI race and failed to finish, along with more than half the fleet so I am pleased to be in the majority.

OH and made it to Cherbourg and back with a bunch of drunks.

Good point..... survived rafting alongside Shy_Talk, and his bunch of reprobate crew.....

As a matter of interest, I lost 10kg during the trip from Glasson to Lagos, (105kg to 95kg),.... I didnt notice it, but Janet did. Up to about 97kg since.

Completed refurbishment of my flats, and filled them.

Bought Rogue.

Survived Cherbourg trip despite having a skipper who tried (failed)to use his thumb for a winch handle. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

luckilly my advanced first aid training enabled me to diagnose it as "just a bit bruised,stop whingeing" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Apart from that very little to crow about this year.

My next summer cruise to France went so quickly that I've got back six months early.

Bought our first boat (17ft Fletcher).
Introduced girlfriend (Anne) to boating.
Sold Audi TT in order to buy MG ZT to tow afore mentioned boat.
Borrowed money to do up the bathroom.
Used afore mentioned money to buy a bigger boat (S23) which the MG can't tow (bugger!!!!)
Had lots of fun on both boats and looking forward to much more (and hopefully selling Fletcher!)
Successfully managed to look after Anne through major surgery and medical problems which WILL solve all our medical problems
Joined this forum and made loads of new friends and we can now be found most times sitting here typing away
