Boyfriends, girlfriends, beaux, lovers, partners, wives, husbands.

So here are the bits I can remember edited highlights. It was harder than I thought it would be, just to get them in the right order.

Lots of schoolboys.

Trainee stockbroker (sadly went bankrupt a few years ago)

Actor - still acting, he occasionally still pops up on tv but mainly does theatre now that he is considered 'too old' (so he says) at 60. We meet up if he up here at theatres not too far away. He was a poor RADA student when we went out.

Trainee Accountant (as was I at the time)

Surveyor

Banker - too fond of clubbing

Dentist - met him at Annabel's when with the above.

Farmer - should have married him, now married to my BF!

Hotel Manager x about five, I was working as a hotel accountant!

Actor again, by now he was in Rep all over the UK so not easy to keep the relationship going.

Guitarist in Band, stupidly married him, accounts all day and groupie all night. He finally decided to have a rest and use his degree in architecture, but took jobs all over the world and became an alcoholic. I eventually gave up and left.

Another Surveyor.

Professional musician and singer, p/t teacher DBH who became a full-time Head of Music, p/t singer and keen athlete when we had DS. As he proposed after only a week, he has only himself to blame.

I think there was a travel agent in there somewhere...

Prince

I got it wrong I thought it was what your current DH career had been. So if its boyfriends here is my list

DJ (DD1s Father)

Heating Engineer (DD2s Father (DH No1 deceased the booze got him)

Doctor (super large ego didn't last)

Head of HR (current DH for last 37 years)

Blimey - you've all lived a lot more than I have. I met my DH (who worked in a drawing office then) when I was 18, married him at 20 and 46 years on we are still married. I only really had one boyfriend before that, when I was 16. (I was too shy and under confident to go out with anyone). Bizarrely (as I have mentioned on here before) I was mad about the boy I went out with at 16 and used to pray (in my innocence) that I would marry him. My DH has exactly the same name as him Too many brackets in this post!

On reflection that is termination!!

Isn't that what hit men are called? What an exciting life !!
