Exercising about 5-6 hours a day and on a very low calorie diet in order to get a slim body to try and impress my 'rough boy' crush.!! - Council estate, bad boy - you get the picture.

Managed to lose a stone in a month.

Who said feminism was dead?

In a job I hated, (but used to love) with a boss who was a bully. He set impossible tasks, which I didn't have the skills or IT to complete and then got his PA to pass on messages such as 'Trevor says to tell you your for it when he sees you on Monday.' Sad Angry

I got such a message one Friday and was a nervous wreck all weekend.

Eventually he engineered my redundancy - the only person from a departmental restructure - when he was hiring other staff.

The innocence of youth - I joined a Union after that.

Feeling huge whilst pregnant - just going off on maternity leave - it was a warm summer and I had very swollen ankles!

AuntJane · 12/08/2016 23:28

I was preparing for my marriage in October of that year, and also working for a manager who had very little in the way of people skills.

Two months old so more than likely asleep, pooing, drinking mum-made-milk, or all of the above.

25 years ago my mother was around a month away from falling pregnant with me....

ILoveAGoodBrusselSprout · 13/08/2016 00:18

Working in a bar in Malia before starting uni. Hating every minute and waiting to fly home to boyfriend, now DH.

And we lived happily ever after

SanityAssassin · 13/08/2016 00:22

I would have been 22 - owned my own home with former BF although we were getting near the end of the line. Same employer as I have now but different area of country. I had a swishy sports car. I had parents,,,,,,,,

ephemeralfairy · 13/08/2016 00:26

Very unhappy and overwhelmed by family deaths.

Chasingsquirrels · 13/08/2016 00:32

19, just finished 1st year of uni, spent the summer working at the community charge office then went on holiday with boyfriend to lanzarote. Broke up with him a couple of weeks later and got together with subsequent H1 who was on my course and in my house share.

ToadsJustFellFromTheSky · 13/08/2016 00:36

I was 6 months old and probably not doing much Smile.

5BlueHydrangea · 13/08/2016 00:37

Just moved into my first flat. 18 with a 3 month old baby!

eachtigertires · 13/08/2016 00:40

I was 3 months away from being born. So I was enjoying my mothers uterus still. She was hating being pregnant in the summer and wishing the morning sickness would go away, most likely (she had morning sickness the whole pregnancy with me).

The last few weeks before DS started school...he was just five..they started later than most areas at that time around here.
