For me most of the above!
But 9/11 stands out for me as I happened to be watching T.V at the time .
Horrendous but somehow mesmerising astonishingly fascinating & so well planned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also this is the decade of the birth of our two beautiful Grandchildren

What's with all the doom and gloom peeps?

Personally for me, I'll remember this decade for getting out of a dead end relationship after 12 years (and making the easiest £10k in history), getting out of a dead end job, going to Tenerife for a holiday with P and falling in love with the place and people, and finding The Forum and making some of the best Friends I've ever had and buying our own apartment there, and then there's the Dude ..... Matthew. How can you top that?

Personally - a decade of highs & lows - getting out of a bad relationship,then meeting John a new marriage, & making the move to Tenerife,

Losing my lovely mum & another very close friend...

The way of life- ups & downs.... the journey that make us who we are..
