With the exception of the dates on my cheques, it was remarkably similar to 2007...

My 2008 was pretty much neutral.  Had some good times, had some bad times.  I figure they cancel each other out.

Years don't come more wretched for me than 2008. If 2008 was a multitool, it'd be a cheapie dime store model whose knife breaks while you're bearing on it and the shard goes right into your fleshy palm...

If 2009 isn't better I'm demanding a refund.

Happy New Year all, Bill.

Alot of it was due to the weather being poor and so there wasn't so many days where the beach was packed .Plus the beach lifeguards help stop any incedents before they grow out of control and need us . We rescued more people with our tractor who had got stuck on the beach . 2007 we had about 7 shouts in 3 weeks .

2008 was an intense year for me. Not bad in any way, just really busy. I hope and look forward to a more relaxed 2009. :)
