Five years doesnt seem long but its amazing how your live can change so much in that little time.

5 years ago i had a 3 year old Ryan and we were living with oh renting a flat, I worked full time for Max Factor.

Now We own a house in England but are currently expats in Copenhagen Denmark, we have 8 year old Ryan and 2 year old Jack! I do a little amount of Beauty Therapy from home. Oh and were married!
Quite a change really!

5years ago, i had a 1 yr old, i was heartbroken, and going thru the worst time ever, was really at a low point couldnt see my life getting any better


5 years on

im engaged to the most amazing man, have another child, planning on going back to college, but most of all im happy! x

I was in my final year in uni, going off the rails really. can only see it now looking back. Didnt buckle down to do work was out on everynight even before my final exams. going home with everybody and anybody
(no idea how I passed) had no self respect what so ever was more concerend when I was going out next and geting laid.

NOW met OH have a beautiful daughter & another baba on the way Only thing wish we were more finacialy stable, & actualy did something with my degree. Im total a different person I use to be!!

Ummmm 5 years ago I think I was at uni and working in Tesco (boooooo) and generally having a very very busy and stressful time - I had met my husband (little did I know ) and we had been going out for a bit and then broken up and I was bogged down in a world of academic books and vile rich people in St-Andrews!

Now, I have been married for nearly two years (who knew our paths would cross again ) and have little Elijah who is 15 weeks old. i'm on maternity leave til next year and trying to figure out how to avoid work (more babies! haha)

In between I worked and worked and worked, had one awful relationship that I should never have bothered with and got my degree, then moved house 3 times and started working in social care

I'm quite excited to see what the next 5 years will hold

5 years ago i was living it up working for a booze cruise in Ayia Napa, drinking loads and having a fab time! Then i meet luke in 2006 (in cyprus) still carried on partying but calmed down a lot, then in 2008 fell pregnant and my life has changed so much for the better. Living back in england now and of course have my little Tayla-Rose

5 years i go i was in the sh*ttiest position ever, being raped almost daily and treated like a prisoner...

now i'm planning my wedding to an ok guy(hehe!) and a mummy to an almost 2yr old and an almost 1yr old!! amazing!!!

I think its save to say all of our lives are better now than they were 5 years ago?!

5 years ago..... i fin school and working partying like mad all day all night typical student.


now i am married and very happy i have a my baby jj is 10 months and also fighting cancer.

two things i wanted in my life have gone right marriage and a baby i also wanted my own buissness as nail tech and to pass my car test... hope next year will bring me that and the best of luck and health and prehaps another baby xxxx

5 years ago i was 15 (i feel so young compared to you lot!) nearly 16, going out every weekend, never really going to school and basically doing nothing with my life.

After that i went to college, got kicked out, did nothing for a year, went to a different college and fell pregnant as i was finishing my beauty therapist qualification to a complete nob head (to put it politely )

Now i have a 9 month old little monkey, just started college doing an access course hoping to go to uni next year to train as a midwife and couldn't be happier with where my life's going at the moment

I was 25, married to my ex, reasonably happy at that time, working as a mortgage adviser for Abbey, going on exotic holidays, out 3-4 times a week, all day drinking on Sundays lol

It was a very different life to the one I have now but i would much rather be here then back there now x

I was 5 years younger (32) I was happily married with an almost 6 yr old and almost 1 year old.. working part time as a manager in a high class jewellers, living in this house - struggling to make ends meet.. He left in 2007! (he obviously wasn't as happy as I was..lol )
Now I have an almost 11 yr old an almost 6 yr old and an almost 18m old living with my gorgeous hubby to be (when I divorce) as happy as Larry.......My life is not majorly different but I don't have to work to top up the money and Im in a much happier place gush gush!!

I was 15, like Lisa feel so young lol. I was in my last year at school not that i was there much, i was drinking too much, was really depressed and tried to commit sucide. A year later i got back with oh, got married in '08 then got pregnant with Immi after the wedding. So happy with where i am now, married for 2yrs with our gorgeous little one and (hopefully) another baby on the way.

5years ago i was working in kfc to pay for outfits n for money go out drinking and that what was important at that time to me i lived away with my bf frm family at the time and got by by gettin sloshed.
Now i never drink never spend money on myself have an amazing lilboy. Stil lwiv the same guy now engaged but alot happier and we have our own place xx

2005 I was 25, had not long moved in with Neil in a little one bedroom flat, i was still doing the job i do now. Not a massive difference, if you were to say 10 years ago now thats a whole other ball park. At that time I was living with my parents, 6 months into my nurse training and perenially single.

Now we have been married 3 years next week, have 1 little chicken in our lives and an eggy cooking away in my tummy.

5 years ago i had been dating oh for 6 months, was working in my little office at my admin job, loved it and was out most weekends with oh or friends. Life has changed but wouldnt change the way things are now for anything.

5 years ago I was miserable about being single but was 2 weeks away from meeting the man of my dreams who is now my husband I was also unemployed, living with my parents, trying to find a job. Now I'm happily married, living in our own house with our gorgeous little boy and I'm now working as a special needs teacher xxx

5 years ago I was 29 and living in the same house with my then husband.Things had started to go downhill a bit with the relationship and we both started going out a lot (prob to avoid the 'issues'!!). I was and had always been adamant that I did not want a child. I had just started working for the company i now work for.

Fastforward 5 years to now.... we divorced, I bought him out of the house, met OH after about a year of being single-ish and to my absolute shock (horror!) found out I was pregnant after we had been together for only about 9 months We now have our lovely little girl! Still work for same company but been promoted a few times. We are happy

5 years ago i only had 2 kids and was pregnant with my 3rd. I worked for B&Q on customer services. We didnt have our own business (in fact ben had only just passed his bus test). Mmmmm so in 5 years i have just given myself more to do lol xx
