What would you like to share about the last 40 years?
I moved to Geelong in 1980 to work in a children's home (I was only 18yrs), I got married to Geoff (34yrs now !!!!) and had 3x children, Lianda, Joel and Rhys. I went on to work in other family group homes looking after foster kids. I then moved into doing Personal care in Aged care facilities. After working 7xyrs along side the boss in the office ( I was always good at typing - the only subject I got 98% for..with Mrs Meddings) I decided I would do my nursing. So I graduated at 50yrs - best day of my life.... so proud of my achievements. I now work as a Registered Nurse in charge at Estia Health aged care facility. Love my job.
I now have 6x grandkids ranging from 12yrs to 5x months. Life has had its ups and downs but has been pretty good to me.
What are you proudest of about your life? What have been your greatest achievements?

Nursing - don't know how I did it !!
&
Walking the half Marathon (23km) from Kennett river to Apollo Bay in 2015 - was pretty chuffed.
Any regrets?
Should of done my nursing when I was 18yrs, and not doubted myself - should of stayed in Tassie - great place, great lifestyle - love my homeland.
