Hey Fibi I was 16 when I had my first, and 18 when I had my second. Alot people say " oh that was young " but always worked to support kids, still married to their dad, and like yourself, never regretted it either. When my eldest is 16 I will be 32 years young.................. still living it up lol.

They are 9 and 7 now and I like growing with them!!!!

20 years ago I was 27 and I had has little idea of what I was doing then as I do now...

I was if I recall correctly working at Rossall Hospital. I worked 12 hours shifts, and spent most of my “off duty” time ****ed. It was around that time people became concerned that my love for the high life of the New Anchor Public House following a recent divorce was affecting my physical and mental health. It did for a time and then the whole thing collapsed; it’s surprising what another mans suicide can do to wake one up.

The man who died was my estranged brother in laws brother. The night he took his life I was sat in tears on top of a ladder contemplating my future or the closing of it.

Doug, that's a warming and inspirational post, but what were you doing up the ladder?

Five day’s before I had been on nights, when I finish work I went out and bought a new three piece suite (my first bit of furniture since the divorce) and a T Bone Steak, that afternoon I put the steak on the grill and sat on the bed listening to the radio. I fell asleep. I awoke at the sound of the lady next door banging on the door and screaming fire through the letter box. I had been asleep for two hours. The steak was completely gone along with most of the grill.

Why was I up a ladder? I was trying to strip the burnt and smoke damaged paper off my kitchen walls. At the time I became suicidal, I was ****ed, crying and demented at the fact that my first chance at getting on my feet had gone with my dinner a week earlier. It took me a month to redecorate the Kitchen and a further year to recover from the cost of the fire. I have never bought a T Bone since that day…..

Doug, that is such a sad and funny post. I really was laughing tears of joy/sadness then.

Thanks for the explanation re: the ladder. I'm just glad you weren't peeping through next door's bedroom window.

I for one buy the fire story.;)

Every word is true. It is funny now and I have no difficult with discussing the fact it came so close. Worst of it is, I would change very little of what’s happened in my life. It still ****e. :rolleyes:

If you had just bought a three piece suite why did you fall asleep on the bed waiting for the T bone steak?? :rolleyes: ok let me guess .... you bought the suite from CS lounge suites........................... yeah i understand now, there not very comfortable :D:D:D:D see if you had bought it from DFS you would'nt have gone to bed, therefor you could have had a lovely meal without the dragon next door breathing fire through your letter box!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

The moral? The moral is don’t allow yourself to sink into the mire of drink and self pity. There’s only darkness there….:o
