What would you call your autobiography?

I was having coffee earlier with a few friends and one of them asked this, and it really got me thinking.

I think mine would be 'Is it time for lunch yet?' wink

Over to you!

'If only......'

Why?

DH says he intends to have this engraved on my gravestone as I am always saying it. So just as good as title for an autobiography

It annoys my DH when I say “In my next life...” admittedly I do tend to say it quite a bit whenever I think of something I would love to do, or somewhere I would love to visit .

Not the Alarm Already?

Getting up in the dark to drive 30 miles to tube then hour into work......
Years of getting up to 'do the papers' at 5.15 am....
Then early breakfasts in the B&B....

Now, love being in jammies until 10 ish….. already writing it actually!!

from Riches to Rags - began in a middle class family, beautiful home in the countryside, lovely parents, brother went to public school, and now in rented barn which is falling apart, and will have to leave soon due to landlord dying, but I am happy with my painting and crafting and family but zilch moneywise!

I'm so pleased to still be here after a bad start in life.

I have just been called ' a cocky old hag ' on FB. Thank you to the whipper snapper snowflake that called me, you have just named my book.

If only?

(As in if only I knew then what I know now).

I am writing mine but won't reveal the title yet!

I have already mostly written mine, except for the last chapter grin it’s called ‘Latch key kid’. Parents were both out working, brother off up to no good. I spent a lot of time home alone.

I grew up in London but had much the same childhood experiences as BRADFORD LASS, although we used to play in the bomb sites.

I'd call mine "she did her best". My mum always said it didn't matter if I failed at something as long as I knew I had done my best
