I was pregnant, living in a share house in Fitzroy, failing most of my engineering degree subjects (for the second time) and spending my weekends riding my bike around Richmond with my mother and partner looking for a house to buy.
15 years ago (1992)
I was pregnant, only failing two subjects (although i knew better this time and applied for special consideration). The house we bought had been decimated and we were camping in the two storey extension without plaster on the walls or a whole kitchen.
10 years ago ((1997)
I'd been pregnant earlier in the year, but had sensibly aborted. I was home full time looking for Engineering work after being retrenched from my first graduate job. We were living in the new house we bought after I got my first graduate job. The old house was finished and sold in a hurry when I got retrenched (yep, we owned two houses in Richmond for a short time). I got my big break in November and started on the career road I'm still on now.

mr-bassman and I were in our year of handfasting and I couldn't believe that I could possibly still be in romantic love after 22 months. (It's still weird after six years together). I went to work and I came home, I adjudicated on children's squabbles and lived a quiet life. Did we make a tent that year?

Just getting used to the much bigger SCA commitment we'd made, struggling through through the work and small baby stage. I think we finished renovating the laundry at about this time of year.
