Admitting I was unhappy, and leaving my long term partner.......and getting on with my life. That is buying my own pad, getting a couple more jobs and continuing to the best job I can bringing up my son.

I'm pretty darned chuffed that I know the difference between lose, loose and loss. And when to use the correct tense of each. wink

Now if only I could learn to spell Connecticut.

Going from hardly being able to read and write at school and no real prospects, too having a load of qualifications, a good job in a senior management position, my own house, a beautifull wife, a cheeky dog and as a PHer a Tuscan and a Megane Cup all by the age of 26.

(Im still not much better at reading and writing!)

I'm proud of my career so far, ok so I'm not a millionaire or anything like that, but I set clear goals and have been achieving them all so far.

I think I'm pretty good at what I do and generally believe I make a positive impact whilst I'm doing it.
