What were you doing in 1993?

[NW3Lady]

It was the year I started secondary school. I used to watch Neighbours and Home & Away religiously everyday on arriving home just like everyone else I knew, plus Top of the Pops on Thursdays. I sometimes watched Saved by the Bell on a Sunday morning although more because it was the in thing to watch than because I genuinely enjoyed it. On a Saturday night I might watch Beadle’s About or we’d rent a video from Blockbuster. I loved reading The Babysitters Club, Point Horror and Sweet Valley High and occasionally I’d get a copy of Smash Hits magazine. For Xmas I got a CD player and the Now 26 album to play on it.

How about you?

I was 4 so was still at playgroup (not nursery or preschool!) and would've been starting school in a few weeks.

I loved saved by the bell and new adventures of Superman. I was 12 and spent most of my time reading - all the £1 classics and stephen kings and Dean Koontz and Anne rice. I read at least one book a day and also used my type writer to write pretentious poetry. I still loved playing with my Barbie’s.

This 100%.

I remember wellas "hints of a tint' and Sun-In that you'd spray on your hair and miraculously hoped they'd turn into sun-kissed highlights. So remember the bronzing pearls . Was born may 1982.
