2024 - a tough year or a good one?

had a tough end was diagnosed with prostate cancer so have had it removed and the mother in law been in hospital after a fall for 3 months.with no sign of her returning home.,hopefully next year is better.
 
Not been the best of years, been busy supporting Mrs Moon, sorting out a Will from her father that I found dead last Xmas day morning & clearing his house which still needs a 90 mins round trip for insurance purposes every week until sold.

It sounds crass but the big positive this year is we're now financially secure from the inheritance, we were ok before but the large influx of monies means we can enjoy life without looking over our shoulders as we both live on our Occ-Pens.

It's also shown I was right in which members of her family are fucking animals and cunts...one sister nicked his mobile phone while his body was still being removed!!!
 
definitely in the more tough category

Mortgage went up a lot, plus on top of a loan and was hoping for a wage increase but that didn't happen so financially struggling - with a 1 year old and a 4 year old its been tough, parenting is also tough, the constant whinging, crying and seeing my Mrs stressed with little sleep.

Work has gone a bit stale for me, feel like I'm stuck in a position and overlooked as i approach 40, company also made a lot of redundancies - some of whom i have been close too.

with my Dad dying around this time last year it's the first year of my life i didn't renew my Hammers ST, to be honest not really missed it that much, helps we've been rubbish anyway.

Positives - health wise all good, same for my little ones - had a couple holidays this year, done some good work trips away, been to gigs with mates and kept up my running and the BM cup!

In 2024 all four parents (all mid-late 80s) have deteriorated badly. Dad just moved into a care home, Mum back in hospital yesterday after a fall, I've hardly spent a day at home (Sheffield) or seen Mrs Unicorn in recent months, dealing with care and finances. Luckily I retired early so can cope, but I don't know how folk who do work manage the joys and pain of parental old age.

It hardly matters, but all this has meant I haven't seen City (or been in a Manchester pub) for months, but at least my two wonderful lads have been able to use my season ticket, and the news of Pep's extension last night cheered me up immensely as a vote of confidence of the club and Manchester itself.

Take care Blues, and tell family and friends you love them.
 
I think the world in general there just seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel for many. I went to a very dark place a few months ago and struggled until I broke down in front of a good mate, thankfully that release had helped me immensely, I try to remove myself from anything that winds me up but it still happens occasionally sadly. Our new puppy is keeping me busy and my head from drifting, im looking forward to Xmas and hopefully a trip to Munich in June.
 
An odd year for me - never imagined this time 12 months ago as to what would have happened.
After a few years separation I’m back with Mrs Screamer. Have been since July and moved from Florida to Vermont. It’s fucking freezing! But we are doing well together, very well actually.
I started a new job in August and it's going very well.
Trying to flog the little mobile home in Tampa but having to get the damage from the hurricane fixed first.
On a very sad note my nephew passed away having had an epileptic seizure. He was 39 with an 8 and 1 year old......

On a personal level, I became a Yank citizen and for the past 3 months ive been filming stuff for a youtube channel which will be launched 1st December......

So my nephew apart, a good year

What’s the YouTube stuff about mate?
 
2023 was a shocker for me. 24 started from a bad place so can't complain too much with how it's gone.

The outlook is both good and bad. You never feel like your in economic good times but you absolutely feel the bad times. America has served up a shit storm with the election of Trump.
