I like the way you put that thread. I find it hard to narrow down to top 3 but if I had to just say 3 then it would be.

1. Coming from nothing and having nothing to everything.
2. Always doing my best no matter what.
3. Looking after the people I care about.

1. having our four kids ( first one at 16 also proved everyone wrong just because you are young doesnt mean you will end up a single parent on benifits )
2. owning our own home and no debts
3. having a happy marriage ( think fact he works away helps that one :lol:)

Never getting caught
Never getting jailed for what I never got caught at
Never dropping the soap, because I never got jailed for what I never got caught at

OR if you want the boring ones

Having my family
Learning to walk again after being stuck in a wheel chair for months
The countless ways I manage to embarrass the Mrs just by being me :D

Surviving the breakdown of my first marriage and still managing to bring up three wonderful well adjusted and polite boys ( to be fair this would be on m ex husbands list too - its a joint achievement!!!!!!!!!)

Forgiving and Letting go of the bitterness and and finding the biggest surprise of my life - a new husband, happiness and more babies!!!!

Keeping true to my sense of fairness and fair play even when the going got tough and people were determined to be unfair to me
