Cool thread

 

[valentine]

I think this might be my favourite ever thread! I'm really nosy too! Well done tp!

1 year ago: I was about 13 weeks pregnant with my baby girl. I had had my first scan on 8th Jan and told our family, friends and work over the next week, which was just fantastic after keeping quiet for so long. I remember being ravenous but also feeling really poorly. My Granny also died this time last year on 11 Jan and her funeral was on 19 Jan so was a very sad family time too.

5 years ago: Hmmmm. OH and I had been together for 2 years and living together for 1.5 years in a funky (tiny) flat in central Edinburgh. Our rent and outgoings were peanuts compared to what we spend now but we were still skint - we've never been DINKYs! I had graduated in 2002 with a drama degree and OH graduated this summer as a teacher and was doing his dissertation (or planning it) this time 5 years ago. I was working for a youth theatre who were cr*p employers, I hated the job and the commute to Glasgow. I'd have to find my diary to find out how I spent my free time, but I think I got p*ssed fairly regularly and spent lots of time with OH.

10 years ago: I was planning my big 18th birthday bash (start of Feb). On my birthday I went to the pub with my best friend at the time (who later slept with my boyfriend, lovely) and we had a drink bang on the time I was born (11amish). I then went for dinner in Aberdeen with my girlfriends and had an amazing night out and looked amazing too - so s*xy (of course, I thought I looked like a tool at the time). I was in the middle of taking a year out between school and uni and worked at a tool hire firm in Aberdeen and LOVED a man 10 years older than me who used me for s*x but didn't want a relationship - I clung onto this and slept with him for 3 years until I decided he was a t*sspot, then later found out that my best friend had slept with him while I was too - great. I'm p*ssed off I gave him anything off me let alone so easily and that I let him be such a c*ck to me, but I am so pleased in some ways as he helped me (unbeknownst to him) be who I am and know what I want today.

20 years ago: I was 7. I lived in Doncaster in Yorkshire (I think) in married quarters - my Dad was in the RAF. I loved My Little Pony and used to eat my own hair until I heard about a girl who puked up a hairball. (Its funny what you remember!)

30 Years Ago: My parents didn't meet until 1979 so I wasn't even a twinkle.

40 years ago: Not relevant.

 

[Redshoes]

1 year ago: 19wks pregnant and loving it. Not loving having asbestos removed from this manky flat, and other works done which never resolved any of the problems here..fecking council..sorry

5 years ago: Had been with OH a few months, thought he was the one, we had major issues, I wasn't well, but worked through them together in a bedsit in Chapeltown

10 years ago: Living in Newcastle, at Uni, living the dream lol Out every night, having lots of fun with men and alcohol, finding myself and reading lots of books (I studied English)

20 years ago: I was 10, I think, I was never good at Math lol Waiting to move out of Primary to Secondary school woohooo

30 Years Ago: Ooooh I was about Isaac's age now, so I guess I was busy making my parents very happy and sleeping very well and teething
