I was almost 19 and in the process of buying my first house with my ex ex boyfriend. I was 8 stone lighter too - the nesting instinct took it's toll on me big time!

Age 20.
Last year of degree.
Doing almostt evertything to ecsxcess. And having a bloomin good time.
Going out with bf at the time, not dh though.

I had been married just over a year - was rapidly heading towards 30 - so probably feelng it was about time I felt grown up . Just starting my final year of my PhD - little did I know it was about to be one of the worst years of my life - suffered depression for the first time ever (never diagnosed though) - glad that is long in the past now.

I was living in Denver, Colorado.

I was 25 and having the time of my life. Had a cracking job, a gorgeous husband, an active social life.

We climbed rocks and peaks in our spare time, lived in a fabulous apartment overlooking the city and generally spent tons of money on frivilous stuff but still had enough to save a lot.

i wasw 25 in a crap marriage and very unhappy. and iving nr manchester in my home town.

10 years ago I was 18 and living at home with my dad and brothers. I was at college arsing about and had a part tmie job cleaning hotel rooms.

Was having and on again off again relationship with a bloke that was no good for me at all but had a lovely irish accent LOL.

Things were ok, and then in the oct I met P and the rest is history.

Isn't it funny how at the time you think your life is crap, I know I did 10 years ago, but i'd love to have that life now.

I was 26, living with a man who I ran away from 3 years later, and working my ass off in a really great job in an art gallery. And I was thin.

I was 27, living with dp and starting to be desperate to have children - biological clock was ticking very loudly!

She said she never ever wanted children and if I wanted any I'd have to leave her.

10 years later - she's pushing for us to have a third!

i too was thinner then i am now but iam happy now and wasnt then rather be happy and fat than slim and unhappy

I was 33 and had been married for a few months. We lived in a flat just a few streets from where we are now.

I can't remember anything else tbh. Was probably broody.

September 1996 - I was 22 and just starting my final year at Sheffield University. I had a part time job to finance my alcohol and dope fuelled lifestyle. I had a wet-as-a-wet-fart bf, we split up a few months later. We were sharing a room in a grotty student house with a couple of friends. I was mainly having a right laugh, apart from the crap bf and trying to do too much at once.

27 living in london with my dp and ds(then 3) with part time job at poncy gallery, where all the women were single and looked down on me.

quick hijack - fiofio have you checked out the topshop website for london fashion week things!

good god no!

i was 20. of course i looked shit-hot (if only id known it) though, dubious dress sense. was on anti-depressants, bumming about, sort of yearning for a direction to shuffle in and not finding it. wished i was dead most of the time, frankly, which is sad. my social life was brilliant, mind - even if i'd rather have my teeth extracted than hang out with the people i did then in the places i ddi then, most of 'em anyway...

nope, i wouldnt go back if you paid me a million squid. ive done my time thanks!

(there were other highlights between then and now btw so dont bother with the violins or 'owt)

Erm, I was sitting my GCSEs

24. just got back from travelling in India with dp (still dp now). No kids, just landed a job which i stayed in for 6 years.

sighs @ memories of india...

how true! oh to have that freedom again!

"worst year of my life"

it had some great parts too, but two incidents really f**ked all that!

otherwise was great fun, finishing last year of university getting eco degree. lots of political actions and pot smoking. president of environment for students.

lots of boyfriends!
