Have you ever kept a diary?

Hello,

Because of a new report which says that we are the last generation who will keep written diaries a glossy magazine is looking do a positive, warm feature about how important diaries have been to many of us.
I am looking for three women to look back on their diaries and see how funny / poignant / happy / innocent they think they are now they are all grown up.

Each participant needs to go back through her diaries and choose an entry she feel shows how far she has come or that she has something to say about. It could be anything including, for example, the first time she fell for a guy or maybe even going out with more than one boy at once. Maybe magining what her future would be like or any problems at school or any great days. Issues such as worrying about not having a boyfriend, perhaps an obsession with a band or actor or remembering the first time she got drunk.
Once they have chosen their entry,we would conduct a short telephone interview to talk about how they feel looking back on the words they wrote all those years ago. We would need to take or borrown photographs too.
If you have kept a diary and would like to take part, please email me at yvonne.illsley@btconnect.com

Thank you so much for reading.
Yvonne

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
