If you stay together for another year, then you can put me down for a fiver.
No, I went from this
To this
Which has to be worth a £5? It's not like I've spent a couple of hours taking a walk, I've made a sacrifice/dramatic change to my appearence that will last for years...

I am immensely proud of my wife. She donated one of her kidneys, and went into the major surgery without even a wimper. So brave. She has made a full recovery and is very modest about her achievement.
The recipient of that kidney has had his life changed. Thats me.
We have a winner! The recipient of that kidney has had his life changed. Thats me.

Good wholesome soups
Fish or Chicken loads of vegtables
Stopped drinking
Exercise 6 days a week - circuit training, spinning , aerobics , step, weights
I'm proud of the fact that my littl'un has got to the grand old age of 1 this week, under my care without any major issues. I've no idea where the time has gone but I've had a blast, I think.
Just to clarify, I never expected any real problems but nor did I think I'd have any kids at all 21 months ago.

I wish you'd post this story on one of the many pathetic misogynistic threads that pop up on PH on a regular basis.The recipient of that kidney has had his life changed. Thats me.
It's not on the scale of some of the entries on here but, at 21, I bought my first flat! 
It's a decently-sized 2-bed maisionette (with a garage!) in an area that I like but had given up hope of being able to afford (Being in a London Borough prices in general had gone ballistic over the last couple of years). It had, and still has, a tonne of work to be done and as such the next year or so are going to be terrifically skint whilst I pay for it BUT.... it's mine it makes the stupendous hours I've put in at work worth it and I think that it's a wise choice, time will tell 
I had to sell my Alfa 156 GTA, I bought that at the very end of last year - 29th Dec - but I've always wanted an Alfa with the Busso V6 and it was a stunner (not to mention it being my first 'proper' car) so I'm counting that too
I am also rather pleased with the promotion I achieved at work, overall thinking about it this year has been very kind to me

Changed jobs early in the year, it was a risk but one worth taking. Started studying part time again in a different field which has been very interesting also got engaged during the year and am on the way to having not only an amazing fiancée but also getting a lovely step daughter to be.
It was a tough end to 2013 family health wise and a tougher start to 2014 but thankfully both parents are going from strength to strength
Roll on 2015 and whatever it brings....

I've survived a full year of working with my parents in a new business venture that's seen me go from working for others to working basically for myself.
Not only that, we've managed to really fit into a new community and take the turnover of our wee shop up around 50% as an average over the year.
If you'd have told me that I'd be working 80 hour weeks with no real breaks and enjoying it I would have said you were mad. Best bit is I know that I've still got years of this ahead of me and I can't wait!
