I’m building a time machine, to go back to the 80’s.

Yay classics.

So I’ve got very very thick hair, and I also have more hairs per square inch than anyone else ... you know what would look brilliant: yep, a root perm. It’s fine cos my mate Sally who’s working in a hairdresser and doing day release is going to do it for me as a model. Hmmm ... it feels a bit, dunno, “tangy” on my head but I just know it’s going to look great...

(I looked like a cross between Brian May and all three of Bananarama standing v close together)

Right, I’m off to Geordie Jeans for some tight satin trousers. I think I’ll nick my sister’s earrings before the disco: I’m SURE she won’t notice

This thread is ace! Should go into Classics.

I’m on my tea break at the big Miss Selfridge which is tacked onto Swlfridges in London. I get staff discount so I buy new clothes all the time. Today I’m wearing a grey sweatshirt dress, leggings and bright pink leg warmers plus a matching hand and a la Bananarama. Finished off with Miss selfridge “iron lady” lipstick. I look so cool, I might pop into the big Top Shop at Oxford Circus to pose...they’ve got a DJ in there so it’s like being in a club when you go down into the basement.

Well was watching Saturday Superstore.And someone rang in and shouted wanker.

Poor Keith Chegwin must be frozen solid.

And the Fame cast was on the radio.

I used to love the problem page. And the photo stories!

We can't go to the cinema on a Saturday! That's the day the grumpy woman works who can always tell when you're lying about your age. She got one of my friends down from 15 to 12 with one steely look. Now we can't ever get into a 15 in that cinema

Oh yes
blue Jeans
Girl and Dreamer mags

Loved em'

I'm listening to Duran Duran right now in Spotify! I suddenly miss magazines.. why don't we buy magazines anymore? I want to read Jackie, 19 and Smash Hits.

Saturday!! I'm watching multicoloured Swapshop waiting for the phone in with Duran Duran

I'm in my drainpipe jeans and bat wing jumper, and smelling of LuLu, the classy new perfume I got for my birthday. I'm off to catch the bus into town. Meet you outside the Wimpey at 12, we can wander round the market and maybe buy some new Bros badges, then to Chelsea Girl, Miss Selfridge and Snob to try stuff on. Later we could go to the cinema (which has two screens and you can smoke inside). We could watch Kylie Minogue in The Delinquents and chuck pop corn at boys. Then we can go to the chippie for chips wrapped in newspaper, before getting the bus home.

This thread has made me emotional. The 80s were the best time ever. Fact.

I’m still waiting for my mum to finish knitting my bat winged jumper!!
While waiting I’ll try to decide on which dessert I’d like for after dinner, it might be artic roll or tinned fruit salad.....

Great thread, I'm normally 46 but today I am going to put half a bottle of Studio Line wet look gel through my perm and wear my new yellow stilettoes with a gold band around the heel. Whilst hanging out in a provincial Midlands town looking the mutts nutts, this man will see me and instantly want to marry me.
Alternatively I may end up going home and re-reading the rude bits in Mums Jilly Cooper books and eating one of the elevnty million "slight seconds" choc ices that Mum and Dad bought from the new freezer centre to justify having bought a chest freezer that could double as a spare room :)

I definitely do. I may even do impressions of Mr Soft from time to time

Anyone remember Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel advertising Soft Mints? Mr Softy in his soft world. It gave me the creeps.

I'm in my Garfield 'jamas watching Going Live and getting palpitations over the gorgeous Phillip Schofield. I love his gorgeous dark hair.

Then I'm going to have a shower using the last of the Body Shop Pink Grapefruit shower gel and Banana Conditioner my sister bought me for Christmas. Afterwards I'll spray myself in Limara (my mum works in the factory so there's loads of it knocking about) and Panache by Lentheric.

I think I'll wear my bottle green elephant cords, white crinkly shirt and green and cerise mohair jumper my mum knitted me when I go into town with my mate. I'll have a browse in Miss Selfridge, but at the moment I'm more of a Chelsea Girl fan - especially the Charlotte Halton range.

We'll probably have a Wimpy, and have a look at the records in WH Smith and Boots. I might buy some cassettes so I can do some taping tomorrow when the charts are on - and I have a WH Smith £5 gift token so I might buy myself a couple of new Sweet Dreams books and a Marilyn Monroe postcard for my collection.

I'm looking forward to tonight because my mum and dad are off out and my best friend is sleeping over. We usually watch An American Werewolf in London while eating toast and popcorn. But first it's Sainsbury's Deep Dish pizza for tea with ham, sweetcorn, mushrooms, three cheeses, the works.

I love Saturdays.

I've also pinched some of my older sister's flex shampoo and I feel like Victoria Principal, albeit in the Midlands.

But I can't find my flat white daisy punched mary janes? Anyone seen them? Actually does anyone remember these because I can't find a picture of them anywhere on Google?

I’m gonna head down to Our Price and then browse some clip on earrings. Might pop into body shop too for some lip balm

Pacers tasted of soap.
