I know these types of things are normally done at the end of the year but I was just sat here wondering how much has changed for you in the last year.....I obviously use "the past" year as I've been single just about a year now and it's made me quite reflective on alot of things in a very positive way, and again, thanks to the people who offered me such fantastic advice a year ago.

For me, my life is very different to what it was a year ago, I've moved, I have a new job and whilst I'm still single and havent't felt ready to actually be with someone, I know that's ok and I'm enjoying finding me again, so to speak. I know I haven't been around as much lately, just been busy moving, really busy with work etc.

So for the next year, I'm just looking forward to seeing what happens to be honest and will take each day as it comes I guess.

Hmmm, probably not the best day for me to answer this as I'm feeling a bit blue and probably won't have a balanced outlook on it.

What's changed? Moved - twice. Changed job - twice. Split up with fiance.

As for the next year - I just want things to get better. I'm trying to be better at keeping in contact with friends. And there are a few people in my life at the moment who just make me feel really sad all the time, and I want to figure out how to make it work or how to be strong enough to cut ties with them.

Nice to see you back, I've been wondering how you've been getting on.  Glad you are feeling positive and I think some single time is exactly what you needed to get your head straight.  Just means that the next man you find will hopefully be the right one as you'll be in the right frame of mind when you start looking!

Hmmm, the next year.  Well I'm looking forward to doing my OU course although a little nervous about it too!  Looking forward to our house being just ours again, although having LG has been nice and the money has certainly helped it's time we all moved on and MrSC and I could do with having some space again.  I'm looking forward to getting a bike on the cycle scheme through work and hopefully getting fit riding to and from work!

hiya, glad things have picked up for you

not much has changed for me, other than getting married

this next year will hopefully involve moving house!

I'm really pleased that things have worked out for you and you sound so positive about the future.

The past year has been eventful.... marriage and baby due Sunday, but the next year or so is going to be very different as we'll be a family of 3!

Quite a lot has changed for me in the past year as i'm now married!!

It can't be a year already surely? Has time really gone that fast?

In the past year Ive moved twice, H got made redundant after the first move and we got married.

This past year has been the best for me in a very, very long time

I have got my own house, lost over a stone, gone down a dress size, feel comfortable in myself, have a lovely, lovely boyfriend and I haven't been happier

Good to 'see' you again PH

Quite a lot has changed for me, too:

- Got married

- Moved house

- Lost a stone

- Lost my job (still looking for a new one!)

- Starting a photography course in the next couple of weeks

I think that's about it but I'm certainly happier now.

The past year was eventful and quite fabulous really as I got married and realised a long time dream of visiting Sri Lanka, my sister got married and is now 8 months pregnant, I got a great new job and Villa finished 6th in the league giving us a shot at European football so lots going on.

The next 12-months are likely to bring more change as we will be moving to a new area, my H is looking for a new job, my new niece or nephew will shortly be arriving and I'm looking forward to a good season with progress in Europe (although if Saturday is anything to go by, the players don't share my aspirations)

A year?

Last August I was a newlywed. Now I've been married a year and I couldn't be happier.

My nephew was a few days old - he is now walking.

I used to have a waist - I don't any more because I am 7 and a half months pregnant.

My house is less full of crap than it was, because I am in the middle of throwing it out.

Lol @ Emsy Truff. MrHalo is a villa fan. He shares your pain.

I'm less well off financially but much happier as a person than i was this time last year.  Most of this is down to selling up and moving off an estate into quite possibly our dream house.  For years all we've wanted in a granite cottage with character and that's exactly what we've got. 

Okay so we've got a bigger mortgage to pay and less money all round but to me it's worth it, i like looking forward to going home at the end of the day or looking forward to the weekend unlike last year when i was finding excuses not to go home and planning each weekend so we would be out as much as possible.  The difference between living there and were we are now is huge and i feel a lot better for it as a result.

After an eventful couple of years with half the flipping family dying, moving jobs and house, getting married etc, the past year has been nicely quiet.

I have changed a lot though, and have stopped going out and drinking loads and smoking 20 fags every weekend. I've lost the stone of booze I was carrying round with me too!

In the next year, I'm hoping things stay the same really. I love where we live and work is bearable at the moment. I'm starting a Masters in January which I'm excited about.

Finally bought our own house again after selling ours, moving to the other end of the country then renting for a year.

Doing up the said house (slowly!) but is gradually getting there and will be beautiful when it is done and will be all ours.

Got a new job that I can work full-time in and mostly from home.  Loving it!

All in all - had a fab year and just hope it keeps getting better and better!

This time last year I was scared of going into my 2nd year at uni in case I couldn't do it. Now I'm about to go into my final year and I'm determined to do it!

Celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary.

I was ill last year and in the space of 12 months have realised it wasn't something that was stress/over doing it related, fought to get tests done by a rather uncaring GP and got a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Then had to learn to live with that diagnosis and how my life has changed because of it.

I lost 3 ladies who were all at my wedding including my darling Nan. Nan was quite recent so still raw and still trying to accept that she's gone.
