extreme-4x4 · 23-03-2011, 22:27

what have you changed in your life so far this year ?.

what is new about you ?

and why ?

ok my story, 8 or 10 weeks ago i got a free sofa from friends. the only way to get it home, was on the t2 roof

doing this i snapped the aerial off my truck
so couldn't get music on the radio. till i found classic fm. strangely i can get classic all the way from my house to work without the headache you'd expect from no Aerial

you know what . i bloody love it now

I bought another t2 that's also got a broken aerial

jims-terrano · 23-03-2011, 23:38

Nothing to do with the T2.

This year I've got involved with fundraising for Help For Heroes

. We have set ourselves a target to raise £100,000 in a year.

So between that and Air Cadets I've got no spare time and the year is flying by (no pun intended).

WE have just stuffed the local planning department cos we converted our stables just over 4 years ago to full living accommodation, all the council was interested in was getting us off the land with our mobile home/caravan, they stuffed themselves well short, we win, they loose, but they do not know it yet, I love this bit, Rick

My baby girl going from strength to strength, we had a letter from the hospital yesterday telling us that her liver is getting better and starting to get rid of the things that were harfull to her that it couldn't get rid of before

well i never expected the response i got from this thread, im pretty moved by some of the members news, mostly good , but some bad, sadly clanwolfs dilemma is one i do understand very well, and although im fighting to keep mine still , with a job you can make it happen without, its pretty much out of your hands, its a tough rut to be stuck in . thats for sure and i hope it works out for you . im working as a carpenter now, not been on those tools for 20 years , but i just bumped into a chippy on site who , gave me the chance. turns out he wants me to stick around and anything he can do to help me he is , work, materials .
you never know who you will meet , and how they will effect your life. bit like paullllllllyyyyyyyyy really, he really turned my life around too

the good news. beating the cancer and babe is getting better, well that has made me feel better about life and the future

i guess we are all lucky and we never know what life has in store for us next... but im hoping for some more good news

I think what's been posted is just a microcosm of what goes on all the time but we don't often see it. Probably too caught up in our own little world. One thing for certain,when money gets tight and health issues raise their head, it very quickly puts life in perspective. I'm coming to realise that it is possible to get by on very little and the old way of working flat out to spend it on unecessary stuff just leads to pressure,hassle and a loss of perspective. Now I'm broke, I feel better and don't miss the aches and pains which go with HGV driving. I would like a little extra cash but some part time work could sort that. Currently back in school trying to update my IT skills (or lack of IT skills). Spreadsheets today and I'm not looking forward to it, tutor is a dragon.
