Making 2007 All About Me, Me, Me!

Organised a funeral, ha, that’s a happy way to start. I also got blindfolded around London on a double decker bus. Unusual.

2. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope. Hopefully someone will be this year though.

3. Did anyone close to you die?
Yes, as I am sure you will all know the man who I considered to be like a father (though actually my Granddad) died aged 68 of cancer, and in 7 weeks. Horrid!

4. What countries did you visit?
England, I didn’t go bloody anywhere else.

5. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
I would like more freelance work, though that went up at the end of the year. I would like more time with Alex, and I would like to do more random stuff.

May 30th – not saying why.

7. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Oh, getting to become the ‘London Office’ of Bent Magazine that was fabulous. Also being there for someone who was very sick and making their time special.

Telling people what I think (both nice and not so), seeing people that I just haven’t managed to but are in the same city!

It was Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. It’s now my second favourite book ever.
