What is your greatest achievement?

I'm well proud of getting an amazing education, somehow getting into Cambridge, loving every weird moment of my time there revelling in being the novelty northerner, and getting a sporting half-blue despite being fat and unsporty, and then going on to get a PhD with published, novel research.

But I'm still more proud of my kids - the best thing I have ever done by miles.
 
I have been thinking about this - my biggest achievement is being a good son and Dad and providing during a recession for my family! Bloody tough in my industry last few years.
 
I passed my maths A-level when I was 13

I bizarrely never took a maths O level
It mean't I was the only one in the 4th year with 6 free periods a week
 
....has to be creating the wonderful This! chaps - although the act in itself was not much of an "achievement" it's the most special (and hard work and demanding and rewarding etc etc ) thing to bring up (so far relatively) healthy, happy and successful children.

next was sorting myself out after the former Mrs This! buggered off after several really tough years of young kids, illness and therapynonsense (her) and subsequently meeting the beautiful current Mrs This! and her gals -it all ended happily ever after!

also designing buildings that will be here long after we're all gone...

finally managing to witness the aguerooooooooooo moment without having a heart attack...

I know that's some, not one.
