2012 Review

So why don't I get started by summing up the past 12 months before starting to write about the next 12 months, the year started like any other year, party at the cricket club and the inevitable waking up hungover on New Years Day craving fast food, so with January came the plans to move to Newquay which never came to light due to monetary restrictions and I'm honestly happy it didn't due to what happened the rest of the year, so before I knew it February came around and to be honest it was a pretty crazy month, I joined the gym again as I was bored of being 10st nothing and almost 6 foot, I started going out drinking more with one of my mates from work, started going out with aforementioned mate's cousin, stopped dating aforementioned mate's cousin and started looking at cars to buy for my first car. March was pretty boring, although it was the last month in which i had to use my parent's car to drive to work mainly as every month going to work, going to the gym and sleeping. In April things got started with a bang withing the first 10 days I'd celebrated my birthday, gone to a 21st party straight after a 10 hour shift and ended up going into Wigan town centre, bought my car and collected it. May was nothing to shout about, I ended up finishing the month with a chest infection that could have saved my life (it will be explained later). Then July came and after training up my new boss, getting trapped in work underneath a roll cage that fell over and starting a new gym plan August came around which meant the annual surfing trip to Newquay, before that however i decided to drive to north wales for the day to visit the Boy's Brigade company i'm an officer with at their annual camp and after a 3 hour drive the fun began, starting with the staff vs lads cricket with me taking my usual position behind the stumps, then after some silly games it was time for me to return home, 2 weeks later after loading up my car and filling with petrol the 400 mile drive to Newquay began, one positive was i realised how many mpg my car got, It was the same as my first year, a few of the same people, same vibe, only difference was a new me 3 stone heavier and more confident for it, i met many new people and increased my friendship with the ones i already new. September was the sign there was worse things to come for my health, the pain in my ankles came back but the rugby started again so there was one positive. In November the pain in my knees from damaged cartilage came back worse than ever so the trip to the doctor was inevitable, when i saw him i got sent for a chest x-ray due to past ones showing fluid on my lung, and it came back showing i had an enlarged heart, and got signed off work so at least my christmas shopping got done before the usual rush, December came and went now we're where we are now the New Year.
