And this is me......My Life Story

Post by Chiddicks »

We spend so much time documenting our Ancestors and going back in time, that recently I decided to document my own life story, apologies it will be boring for some, but its more about documenting things about ourselves before its too late!

I asked my children where did I work when I first left school and neither of them knew the answer, so this prompted my story.

If nothing else, I hope this might prompt us to write about ourselves a bit more.

Enjoyed Part 1, Paul. Think its important that we keep the story up to date by telling people about the present as well as the dim and distant past.

Hi Paul

I haven't read it yet having only just seen the post, but I know what you mean. My children haven't a clue, and our grandchildren are very young and I will probably be ga ga before they are interested!! I wanted to put my whole FH into a book but realised that a shortened form will be much more enjoyable for them.

Believe me Sally, I have put this off for years, but I am so pleased to have finally started it.
