me 8 also! Join the no-hoper lol

Actually looking back on the description of 8, some of it is quite true of my early life but, as such, is all done and dusted (if you see what I mean).

After my dad died, when I was about 11, I was a permanent truant from school but gained a degree from the University of Hard Knocks/Life or whatever it's called - so that part fits!

;o)
