The 80`s were quite eventful for me begining in May 81 when my husband died.
February 82, after being forced to sell my home we, my son and I, moved into a local authourity rented house, where I still live. (Funnily enough today I saw that our old house is up for sale, wish I could buy it.)
September 82, I got a job as a cashier/counter clerk in a what we call a betting shop.
May 86, my son and Jayne got married.
February 87, my first grandaughter, Lianne, was born.
February 2nd 88, my beloved Dobie Max was put to sleep.
March 88, got my Gsd Penny, she was around 6 months of age.
Autumn 89, left my job in the betting shop and took a course learning to type and use a computer (but no Windows in those days so it was no use to me when some ten years I eventually got one of my own!)
