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!

Living the Dream - the nightmare of setting up a lake in France.

Lots of our clients say 'You are living the dream. We'd all love to do this'. They don't see the difficulties in language, bureaucracy, what's available in the shops, how to keep all of our 'off grid' services working despite the weather conditions etc. They just see the beauty of the lake and the fish, the relaxed atmosphere that we create and how enjoyable their HOLIDAY is. If I could turn back time I would not do it again.

My life through a Purple haze ?

KatyK Fri 01-Mar-19 12:41:48

How on earth did I get through that?

BusterTank Fri 01-Mar-19 12:22:18

Mine would be called ( In my shoes ) , because they say you shouldn't judge someone until you have spent a day in there shoes .

Seemed like a good idea at the time

I got here just in time.

I should/could have done better.

Didn't turn out so bad after all.

As I child who was very naughty, and a wayward teen, I was constantly being told I would end up in trouble as an adult or 'you'll come a cropper'.

It makes me laugh now.

"If they could see me now"

That made me laugh out loud harrigran
How rude! Gosh I can’t imagine anyone posting such an awful thing.
Thank god for gentler GN!

Mine is called 'Meeting Ourselves Coming Back'

holcott48 Fri 01-Mar-19 11:01:23

I called mine, which I wrote for my daughter, "This Is Me".
And I signed it with my full maiden name, first married surname and then current (final!!) married surname. Long-winded but all a part of "me".

Mauriherb Fri 01-Mar-19 10:56:46

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

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

Hatched from a egg from outer space.
My family have never ever shown any curiostowards my tropical upbringing and origins...

If only?

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

harrigran Fri 01-Mar-19 10:33:51

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.

"I'm still standing". (I hope Elton John doesn't mind me stealing his song title).
I'm so pleased to still be here after a bad start in life.

"Oh, good grief....!" (A favourite expression)

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!
