What has 2011 been like for you?

2011 has been a pretty crappy year for me to be honest. The only good thing is that I passed Uni with a 2:1 which is what I was aiming for.

After that happened, I had to move back home because I ran out of money (I'm still at home and its driving my crazy). From June to October I was unemployed which was terrible, and I've only managed to secure myself a job until Christmas.

All my friends moved away after Uni, and I have no girlfriend so at the moment I feel very lonely and isolated. I hope I can get another job quickly after this one ends in January otherwise 2012 won't be much better :(

Click to expand...

I'm so scared of losing mine after uni, she's a year behind so it's a real worry :(
 
Been bit of a mixed bag really. Some really high and really low points. Be glad to see the back of it, here's to the future!
 
Not taking into account family, health, etc. (as they have all been fine so far), this year has been my worst as an adult.

I set up a company a couple of years ago for some guys a used to work with. They gave me a brief indicating that they wanted the company to operate the exact opposite of how the previous company we worked for operated - this was perfect as I left the initial company due to stress issues. They've since turned this new company into my old company x 10. And the investors currently are witholding monies owed to me :(

Also, they accidentally paid me on the wrong tax code for a few months of last year, meaning that I have a hefty tax bill to pay. I have no problem at all with paying the tax I owe, however they (and the accountants) reassured me everything was fine with the payments and I spent the money on a house. Now I need to pay it back - financially speaking, this has put me back by a year.

The company I've been building has been Ok, but the guy I've been training up quit on Thursday. Professionally speaking, this has put me back by a year.

Took two holidays this year. One was to Croatia. Wanted something quiet, relaxing and spoilt. Booked a luxurious spa-type place. Got there and found out all their spa and leisure stuff was under refurbishment... The second holiday was to Mallorca with my mate and his family. Wanted something to take my mind off how bad the year was going. Got burgled, and lost iPod, laptop, bag, etc.

I'd like to write this year off completely, but due to the impending banking crisis next year looks like it's going to be even tougher!
 
This year..
* new girlfriend.
* new job (literally at the same time as the gf!)
* girlfriend > fiancee
* new place..
 
Pretty much another quick year in my dull reptitive life...:D all work no play...

There are no negatives really, but 2011 has been positive:

* financially stable
* simple low paid office job is secure with company prospects
* woman moves in next door within last few weeks, we talk and I really like her :) will have to see what develops

As for 2012...well *crystal ball* (not in order)

Katla to erupt / Euro to collapse / Iran to...whatever

Not like the end of the world is it?
 
First half of the year not great, was still injured and suspended from upend of 2010.
August was on the way up with a massive Holliday and had a nice letter when I got back, saying I could work again.
Since that high bit of a downer, back to the slog and still in a rut.
Still here's for a better 2012 and still not as bad as a lot of people have had it.
 
Pretty good. Started Uni finally at 21, got a flat close by, so living away from home for the first time.

Can't help but feel that something is going to go wrong though...
 
It started out as one of the worst times I've had. But as the year has progressed things have just gotten better & better.

So although this year in itself has been pretty bad, I'm actually looking forward to next year. Just started seeing an amazing girl & we are having a great time together
 
Sort of in Limbo. Pretty **** end to the year too with getting ill.
Meant to have been sorting out career and things just arent easy.

Summer was ok but have only been away for 1 week this year. No travelling for me so have been bored mostly.

2011 and most of 2010 were *****. hopefully when my knee is better and with new work challenges 2012 will be far better.
 
All in all, pretty terrible. I seem to be deteriorating in nearly every aspect of my life since a peak 4 years ago. Pretty depressing.

But I'm determined to make 2012 a good year. Not gonna make the same mistakes again.
 
Been an okay year. Am living back at my parents with the gf while we save for a house, it's fine really I suppose but I can't wait to get my own place again!!!
