14 years, what have you done?
Discussion
14 years? Hmmmm, let's see.
Got married, got divorced, bought over 15 cars, bought 4 houses/flats, moved about 10 times (I hate moving), had 4 jobs, 2 dogs. Loads of stuff really, it's mad what can happen in a relatively short amount of time.
I suppose the most important thing though is that as that time has progressed I've also become a lot happier and left my god awful 20's behind me
