2020 was generally sh*t, but have you any/many highlights ?

[cleavers]

Apart from making it to 2021.

I've worked from home a lot, and wasn't furloughed, and now don't really want to return to that normality.

We've saved a lot of money (lucky personal circumstances).

We've been many places we'd never have gone, mainly thanks to the National Trust when they reopened, but not just them, I completely by accident found a wonderful canal walk, and if you are ever in Gloucestershire visit the national Arboretum, it's wonderful in Autumn, even on a rainy day.

Somerset, even in one of the wettest weeks of the year, is a lovely place, a place I'd always driven through, having now explored it a bit, will go back as soon as I can.

We've lost several holidays, but luckily got back the money, the Seychelles being the highlight, will rearrange when it's possible.

We've missed family, but, when we have got together it's been more special than it ever was. We're completely separated from our closest family, missus are all in Scotland, our kids are in Manchester and Bristol, and the rest of my close family are in in Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Texas, but we've managed to meet up in the better times in summer. I normally see my son every 2 weeks or so (City), and we have a great time normally, last time we were at a game was Wembley, a highlight.

I'm glad 2020 is gone, and I'm not overly optimistic that this year is going to improve quickly, just want to stay healthy for now, but there are still things about 2020 I will cherish.

Hopefully everything will soon take an up tick for us all, but lets post your positives about 2020.

Had a conservatory with the money I saved from the boozer being shut most of the year. Very happy with it, made a big difference. Only got a little 2 bed manpad semi detached and the extra space to do fuck all in is great

My grandaughter was born in January although I have only seen her a couple of times in the flesh I get a video virtually every day so I can see her growing. Thank goodness for WhatsApp.

At the other end of the "circle of life", I spent Christmas with my 92 year old mum and it was great to spend it at (her) home with only flying visits to relatives.

Yes been shite but don’t want to return to the old normal or else we won’t have learned anything. Just a new normal. How about learning a new way of approaching hygiene ? All this shaking hands shite when the person you are shaking hands with has just had a piss or worse without washing. So many things

‘Kin hell mate, how much is the beer in your local? :)
Certainly haven’t saved anything like that but it is noticeable, like having £50 in your wallet at the start of the week and it’s still there at the end.

Would you rather wake up with an empty wallet and sore head or a wallet full of cash and a sore arse?

I became a father for the first time. It’s hard work, And I don’t sleep anywhere near enough, but I’ve been lucky enough to be working from home most of the year and spend so much time with him. I never knew kids could be so much fun!
