I've given an 8/10 myself. Gone well, would have been better if I'd been at home a bit more and and work a bit less.

Months 1 to 8 selling and moving house = 2/8 months 9 to 12 here and bad at first, but getting better so = 7/10. Overall a 6/10 sort of a year.

Mine had lots of ups and downs, so I checked a few boxes.

Phew! What an emotional rollercoaster of a year!

Year of two halves, this one.
From Christmas until about June, it was pretty disastrous and going downhill.
Crisis with housing in June.
Resolution in July.
Uphill all the way from there

I give my 2012 an eight because of the huge the overall improvement from last Christmas to this one.

2012 was a mixed bag for me, could have been better, but could have been a lot worse, overall an 8.

You might miss your chance to tell us, if their predictions are correct, whether it has ruined your year or actually improved it.

That remains to be seen. I think it's win-win.

I gave it a nine. We're not living in a caravan in the garden anymore, so frankly it's a vast improvement on this time last year. Maybe next Christmas I might even have a kitchen too, and then it'll be a 10.

Overall, it's been a healthy and happy year.

Unlike the OP, they at least they understood the concept of zero.
