Being born, without that stepping stone I couldn't have done owt else! lol
Passing my bike test comes a close second as it was better than loosing my virginity pmsl ( I knew how to ride a bike!)
even though life was tough at the time, having my daughter was the best thing. She's been my rock, my strength and my best friend. She currently lives overseas and I miss her very much, but she's a wonderful independent woman and I wouldn't want it any other way (well, apart from having lots of money so I can visit her often!!)
with out a doubt kicking the hubby out,didn`t realise how much he had belittled me and dragged me down over the years but the old me is growing in confidence and clawing her way back so glad i was brave enough to fight my way out of a deep deep hole all on my own and have made wonderful new friends and am slowly and surely getting my life back on track after missing so much, better late that never!
November 1978, joining the Royal Navy as a sweet innocent 16 year old, then Merchant Navy for another few years. I met some great folks, travelled around the world (71 countries in 13 years), went through good and bad times, but learnt to take things in my stride.
It taught me to appreciate this fragile yet hostile world of ours, not take things for granted, but take all chances you get to try new things.
People have their own view on service life, all I know is, it worked for me . . . the best life apprenticeship I could imagine.
leaving school ! hated it there learnt more since leaving what a waste of PLAY TIME !!!!lol
passing my bike test on my first go ! failed car test three times pmsl
quiting work a number of times what a good feeling that was at the times lol
but the best thing that has ever happened to me is and has to be my son !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's only thing that keeps me going at times
Many moons ago, passing my HGV and bike tests in the same week, after failing em both the first time round. I had some pressure on that week, but it was worth it.
Best thing for me was getting married in 1984,,,,then kids in 85,,,86,,,90.......would not change it for the world....
Pity the marriage went tits up after 23 yrs, but on the bright side ive found you lot...........................craig
Realising that there is life when you become stronger, you start to fight the unhappiness and really move forward - may be tidgy steps, but hey, tis life
being the age i am, having the man i have, my children accepting the man in my life and having young children in my life again, thats priceless x a second shot of happiness in short thankyou Ian although i know thats not what people want to hear and im sorry for 'gushing a bit' x x
