20 years ago.. What would you say? 🙂

[Littlebreadandbutterflies]

Lighthearted and for fun 🙂

If you were to comment on this thread with things you might have been thinking 20 years ago, what would you say?

Mine would be something like:

Oh it's raining, I'll probably be in for breaktime this morning then. Hopefully there's no maths test this afternoon! I really need to practice my times tables more...

Why are my flat mates (uni halls) so weird? Iean he literally never comes out his room. I'm so excited I'm at Uni and my boyfriend can come and sleep over when he wants

A month into practicing as a newly qualified dentist. I was probably thinking “why won’t it go numb”.

Just back from inter railing around Europe.

Oh god that was the best trip EVER, I'm definitely going to go travelling lots and make sure I stop worrying about money and just make the most of life. We'll see what happens with x, if we get back together that will be great and if not I know I will meet someone else.

I know I would have said that as I found my trip journal yesterday and read several pages from it, it was hilarious.

I did travel a fair bit but I never met that someone else (not counting failed relationships). Moral-appreciate what you have!

I'd arrived in Australia 3 weeks previously on a years working visa. So I would have been travelling with my friend (who I was in love with). I probably would have written about how devastated I was that a month before I arrived (he left the UK 3 months earlier than me) he had met a girl and they were going to travel together instead. I wish I could go back and tell 21 year old me to forget it and enjoy myself more! I had a great year but it was tainted by heartbreak.

About to escape toxic home life and move to Barcelona with fancy boyfriend-now-DH. 2nd best move I've made in all my 45 years.

I was 29, slim, fit, happy and carefree, living in a gorgeous flat & working in a job I loved in London with a gang of friends all living nearby who I partied and travelled with non-stop. I’d probably be about to cycle to the gym and working out which bar we should meet up in later. Anyone got a time machine..!?

I was in my second year at university. I was probably hungover and hoping one of my housemates had done the washing up mountain!

Loving this thread!

Cuddling my newborn whilst at the same time entertaining my toddler and dreaming of moving to a larger home which we did and now thinking of downsizing from since ours have now left home!

I would be surrounded by boxes getting ready to move out of my lovely 5 bed house into a 2 bed HA bungalow, after (the then) MiL served me (and her 7 yo GD), an eviction notice. Well her DS and the OW had to live somewhere didn't they??

20 years ago I'd of been thinking "Doesn't this baby ever sleep?" And trying to do a million jobs at once while ex husband sat on his bonnet bum x

I had a 6 month old baby and dh and I had just moved into our new home. We still live there! I would tell myself that I should make the mist of every minute, that the baby is going to grow up to be an amazing young man, that 20 years on I will still be as much in love.

Coming up to my first wedding anniversary, but realising we would be spending it with DH in hospital where he'd just been put on the transplant list (nurses were fab and put up balloons, got take-away in for us etc). An unusual celebration but it managed to be a happy time, escaping from thinking about the big stuff.

20 years ago I was probably wondering why I'd yet again drank my whole week's agency wage in a weekend and how I would manage for another week.

Thankfully I grew out of that stage fairly quickly...and it's probably the reason I'm almost teetotal 20 years later.

It's nice hearing all your memories! Even when it's been sad, how lovely to know you've pulled through to get to where you are now. ❤️

Shall I go to psychology?? Nah sack it off and go to the pub to play pool and drink beer.

I'd say: I like living in the US, my job is very difficult at times, I'm sooo busy, but I like it (and the money). I need to take care in my personal life, relationships, some things are not right. Will I stay here? Or move country again?

I was about to be married.
Just moved into our wreck of a house,
Loving life, loving everything in life.
Happy happy year.

I would have been daydreaming at the window looking for my crush who lived opposite, wishing I didn’t have school the next day and listening to garage music or love songs
