1825

More holes than a very holey thing. But I've made it. Grand plans as ever but then I forgot... At least I had 5 red balloons in the drawer in a bag of 100 multicoloured balloons.

So since I began blipping we've moved from Banbury to Cornwall; celebrated 30+ birthdays (between the 6 of us); lost a Grumpsy and a Gangang, dear friends, 2 cats, numerous chickens and fish and 2 jobs; we've found surfing, kayaking, sailing, chicken keeping and some fabulous friends; started studying a new career and set up 2 new companies. It's been a roller coaster to say the least!

So what will the future bring, with all the furore of the past months, will there still be a Blip in 5 years time? Who knows and frankly, I do not care. I enjoy this community, I have made friends on here and stayed friends with others.

I am rubbish at commenting but lurk and read an awful lot - I should probably start using stars and favourites far more! I hope it does stay but having killed another forum, I know that we will find somewhere else a way...

For me Blip is the perfect 'tool' for keeping up with those I don't see as much as I like and for my Mum to check up on us! So before I get all weepy and gushy, thank you to all my blip mates who introduced me to this world and have kept me going. You know who you are xxx

Edited to add that I realise the photo is crap but it was very bright and sunny on the trampoline and we were late for swimming lessons...
