I had a couple this year I'd like to share.
1 got my C6 crane license (paid for by work)
2 got tickets to the cricket world cup
So share away! We won't ridicule (much...!) ;D

Hubby was very quiet as I did this.
Pretty boring, but to me whilst towing CT I was stoked.

. The wife getting a 2nd all clear for the cancer they cut out
. Finding work to go back to after 18 months away
. The wife still haveing an all clear, considering she did it properly by getting the most aggressive form of the cancer type.
. Still somehow keeping a roof over our heads.
. Somehow managing to have a few fun trips away for the munckins to really enjoy, even though the wife had chemo at the time for some of them.
. Managing to keep something close to a sense of humour through it all. ;D
Next year, it will only get better...

I didn't intend to hijack this thread by the way, there are a lot of folk who are doing it real tuff, so it aint all about me.
Another good moment is that my 5 year old son (almost 6) is happy in the pool now. His twin sister has been swimming for her 3rd summer now.

July, my FIL and I built a kick arse car port for the Jayco with a substantial retaining wall section and paved floor. Now I'm useless on the tools so it was a big achievement for me to build half of the wall section all by myself.
September, upgraded my car to a Kluger in preparation for the growing family. Unfortunatley that meant I now have to drive the wife's Kia around now :-(
December, we welcomed our son Archie on the 5th of December weighing 6lbs 6. He was a few weeks early but was very healthy. Unfortunately we spent his first Christmas back at hospital after he picked up a UTI that quickly spread to his blood. Spent 5 days in hospital on high strength antibiotics. Back home now and back to a happy baby.

Hasn't been a great year for me health wise and that has impacted on our life this least year, but reading some of the things others are going through it helps to know we not doing too bad.
About the only highlights for me would be seeing my son starting to talk and becoming a real little boy that's healthy and in everything.
Only other thing is selling our old camper so quickly so we can get into the new camper that's easier to handle so we can get back to out there again and back camping and travelling.
Let's hope everyone has a better year than last.
Happy new year everyone :cheers:
Matt

Having lino6 and his mate build me a garden type shed to put all my horse gear in makes doing stuff with the horses easier it was crap to build and the fist pump moment should go to them but I am very happy to be using it.
Looking at plans to hopefully knock this house over and build a new one.
