Today is the last Friday, the last day of twenty-ten and I for one will not moan for it's exit. On a personal level the year just passing was an Annus Horribilis:
A year of experiencing the great loss of a beloved sister, through cancer, an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. 
A year of loosing two colleagues, again to cancer
A year of recession not just here in the UK but all over the world.
I shall wave GOODBYE to twenty-ten with vigour and say HELLO to twenty-eleven with baited breathe and see what the year will bring me and mine
Don't get me wrong.........there have been some good times as well:
The meeting of new friends
The births of new borns and marriages of family and friends.
