Not a bad year.

Best thing: Getting married dressed a Elvis & Marilin.

Worst thing: Rollling the TT down a woody hill. Gave us an excuse to re-shell the car though and I have wanted to do that for ages.

Best bit - becoming a home owner for the first time.
Worst bit - realising how much money homes cost.

ps I'm NEVER, EVER into songs by Kanye West and his ilk, but that tune is simply fantastic *wink*
