I gave up smoking in April last year after smoking up to 25 a day for 40 years. No-one thought I could do it - but I did! 3 cheers for me! Sue

Ann I did a teaching course a couple of years ago just to prove to myself that I could teach IT. Since then everyone at work has called me the IT specialist, resulting in the bosses changing my job recently from Admin Manager to IT Manager. I'm proud of my achievement but hate the job!! I have also created the website for my organisation which I think is quite good. Lynne

I finally plucked up courage and learnt to drive when I was 39. Determined to do so before I hit the big 40. That was 11 years ago. Jacky:-)

When I came out of hospital after 11days following my first asthma attack - I felt a bit useless as everything I did seemed to make me breathless. Just to prove to myself that I wasn't ready for the knackers yard I laid a patio! I could only manage 6 slabs a day but I did it! I was very proud of myself. Magsx

Is there anything that you have done in your life that you are proud of? Or that is something unusual?----An achievement? Tell us about it. Besides the normal producing children and having Grandchildren I am quite proud of the fact that I learnt to swim when I was over 50, and the something a bit unusual is that I have flown in a military helicopter as a passenger. (Legally). That too was when I was in my 50s. Ann Glos
