I was at college doing my A levels in the days and pubbing and clubbing at night:)

20 years ago we lived in Clifton beds and I was working for the MOD at RAF Henlow in civilian personnel. Son had set up home in his own house so it was still just the two of us. We had our adorable first grandson who was born the previous year.

20yrs ago I was 19...working in a local factory kitchen while doing a YTS course in Hotel and Catering...footloose and fancy free with my eye on a lad in the factory lol.

Passed my driving test on the 21st April and the following night met my first steady boyfriend lasted 21/2yrs.

Had long blonde highlighted hair permed to be like Jon bon jovi (was my idol) was a very trim/slim (no baby belly) size 10 with a decent clevage lol.

Lived at home with Mam and Dad. Went out every Fri, Sat and Sun night rolling into work on the Mon still hung over lol

Those were the days. Do I miss them - SOMETIMES!

Working b****y hard!!

20 yrs ago I had retired early, had such bad angina I could no longer work. Lived on a small-holding. Had my first cataract removed. Oh, the joy of being able to see properly again!

20 years ago I was just about to give birth to my 3rd child , already had 2 teenagers and was an ' older mum ' so everynoe was teling me , but wouldn't have changed anything for the world , what a joy she has been , and it's true what people say they do keep you young even though I am now in my 60's . She is the one who got me started on finding my ancestors, so thank you Vicky.

Twenty years ago I had been with who was going to be my second husband for three years and life was wonderful, he made me trust people again, life was full of fun and laughter we married in 1994 but he died in 1996.

20 years ago, I was 15, still at school, not a care in the world, hanging about with my pals, met my first boyfriend we used to meet at the community centre to play pool, he wasn't allowed to come collect me from my house, my mum freaked, hence why i met him at the community centre

20 yrs ago I was operating the MOCVD kits & material assessment for an electronics firm.

Had a foot long mohican hair cut (normally tied back) & dreamt of being a rock star.

20 yrs on only recently left the asaid firm & have a sensible haircut. lol

After years of being a Secretary/PA, decided I needed something new, and went into Finance. Best move I made, not a Servant to anyone anymore, at their beck and call.
Late 50's and OH and I enjoying ourselves on nice holdays etc.

Now late 70's with all the happy memories, of things we did 20 years ago.

oooooh i couldnt possibly say what i was doing 20yrs ago ....too drunk to remember lol ;)

20yrs ago i met my wife got married and still going strong dispite people saying i will give it 6 mths not bad going one in the eye for all them people

20 years ago now, I must have been in my second year at nursery school, and I think it was in the May of 1989 that I was a bluebird in The Wizard Of Oz when my ballet school put it on for three nights running - we had to sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

I was also not far away from starting primary school (I was 5 in September '89) and I recall being quite into Kylie Minogue - my sister liked Jason Donovan.

20 years ago, 14th April 1989, I was 21, and getting ready for my wedding the next day.

Now I can't say why did nobody lock me up & not let me go til I'd come to my senses, or I wouldn't have my gorgeous twins, but apart from them - well, you get the idea.

(PS - for those who know me, this isn't present (& final!) OH I'm talking about. He can stay, lol)
