NUDGE

20 years ago, I was still at home with my parents, I was doing psychiatric nurse training (I didn't finish it), still sinhgle, no kids out on the lash with the girlies nearly every weekend. Ah those days. I was also a size 10,...ah those days lol.

i would have been 11 so i can only assume i was spending most of my time annoying my older brothers!

Hi Janet,

Twenty years ago I was living in Sheffield and heavily pregnant with my first son, I lived minutes away from the Hillsborough stadium, so sad,

20 years ago I was pregnant with second child and running round mad with first one!!!

Had no money and couldnt wait to move to a house with a garden !!

20 years ago I had 2 young children (and not much money!!) We had just moved into a bigger house, with an even bigger mortgage (nearly paid off now).

I had just started working part-time in the school kitchens to help with the funds, and my hubby had just changed his job for a better paid one. He worked there about 15 years, then could stand it no longer and walked out. On hindsite, turned out to be a good move. I did the school meals job for 12 years until the kids got older, then went to work with elderly people, doing more hours.

Kids are both grown up now, 24 & 26. Where have all those years gone to?

Hello everyone,

Its nice to read what everyone was up to.

Relieved to know I wasn't the only one drinking excessively. Lol

And look how far we've all come on!!

I'm tempted to start a thread about what were you doing 10 years ago but I'll leave that to someone else.

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)

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.

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

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

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

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 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.
