Who wants to meet up in town tomorrow after their Saturday job for some Woolies pic n mix, a mooch around Our Price and then pick up the latest Smash Hits?

I’m actually on my honeymoon right now, back tomorrow.

Ooh lovely. I've just turned 15 and my best mate bought me some Iced Champink lippy from the Avon lady and a can of Impulse for my birthday, so I'll drown myself in those while deciding between my snakeskin print skin-tight jeans or my new snow-washed ones off the market. Either will look amazing with my Freeman Hardy Willis ankle boots and A-ha T-shirt!

Just let me find 13p for the bus fare and 10p for the phone box in case I miss the last bus home and I'll be there! Can we have a look in Athena for a Patrick Swayze poster and then move on to the Army Surplus store to look for leather bootlaces to make into Morten Harket bracelets?

I LOVED Iced Champink lippy, and their electric blue eyeliners and mascara. I found an old iced champink lipstick just a few years ago and it brought back memories! I may have, revoltingly, actually tried it on before chucking it out 😂 it was always exciting when the new Avon catalogue came out, to see what new colours and items they had.

i had tickets to go and see A-ha in a few weeks, it would’ve been my first proper concert, but i got into trouble so was punished by my mum by not letting me go. And my friend went with someone else and I was proper gutted when she told me how good it was 😫

Did anyone tape Top of the Pops on Thursday?
I need to watch it so I can learn the dance moves to Never Gonna Give You Up.

Edited for typo.
Sorry Rick.

I'm only 6 so will have to go with my parents to the pub. I'll have salt and vinegar crisps, panda pop and chicken and chips in a basket. If I'm really good, dad will let me sit on his lap and steer the car on the way home.

CoffeeAndCakeBringMeJoy · 26/09/2025 23:08

I’m only 8, so too young to join you, but old enough to see you around town whilst shopping with my Mum, and long to be old enough to go into town without an adult. Mum and I will giggle whilst we say, “You can’t go into Boots unless you’re wearing your boots!”, and after shopping we’ll head to the newly-built leisure centre for my swimming lesson. If I’m lucky she might let me choose something from the vending machine after swimming. We’ll head home, and I’ll alternate playing with Care Bears with devouring Enid Blyton books, especially Malory Towers or St. Clare’s.

We didn’t get any Eternal Beau as wedding presents! I bought the teapot and milk jug set for FOUR of my friends as presents. We got some M&S Autumn shit instead.

Can’t, I’m only 6 and I’m practicing the dance moves to The locomotion. It’s really windy outside but it’s fine, Micheal Fish says there’s nothing to worry about, just a light breeze 😉

I'm 7 and going on holiday with mummy, daddy and my sister soon. I really hope that light breeze doesn't get any worse on the day we fly to Europe through the middle of the breeze 🤢

I'm going to see if @SparklyCardigan will let me play with her My Little Ponies. Want to play with us? I got the pony grooming parlour for my birthday, which is soooooo cool.

MichelleCancelled · 26/09/2025 23:11

I'll be down Roe Green drinking cider. Come down you can walk home with me through Worsley woods and we can look for the flasher.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 26/09/2025 23:12

I’ll meet you there, I’ll scoot up after my Saturday morning job, can you lend me a £1 to fill up my Honda Melody.

KawasakiBabe · 26/09/2025 23:13

I’m 20 and dad too mature for smash hits!!! Lol

The year my mum died, I was ten and my life was never the same again.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how horrific that must have been. Flowers

OVienna · 26/09/2025 23:21

I wish I could but I still live in America and I'm off to see U2 at Giants' Stadium.

Applepe · 26/09/2025 23:21

I can’t, I’m only 9, but I’ll be 10 the week of the Big Hurricane. Hoping for a Barbie Dream Kitchen for my birthday, the last birthday I’ll ask for a toy.

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 26/09/2025 23:21

I’ll come!

Biffsboys · 26/09/2025 23:22

SteviesNicks · 26/09/2025 21:00

Shall we go to Spud U Like for lunch and then Wimpys after for a knickerbocker glory?

I think we should go to Oliver’s for sandwiches with crisps on the side .. then maybe the pancake place 😋

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 26/09/2025 23:22

We can do a bit of Rick in the park.

FeatheryFlorence · 26/09/2025 23:22

I was 21 and had moved to Communist Poland. My Mum thought they would never let me leave, and that she would never see me again. I’ve never felt the same about queueing since then - if you saw a queue you joined it, and waited till you got near the front to see what they were selling.

Aha are on tour! Check it out..

baffledpuzzledandconfused · 26/09/2025 23:26

I’m 13, can we get into a 15 film?

DustyMaiden · 26/09/2025 23:33

I have just bought my first flat and given birth to DD. I am really old.

BestIsWest · 26/09/2025 23:35

Autumn shit. I still have the oval dish.

I’m on the record counter in Woolworths playing the top 20 on my Saturday job. I’m then going out wearing my FU jeans which I can only do up by laying on the floor and using a clothes hanger.

Maverick66 · 26/09/2025 23:53

Sorry, busy organising my wedding and sorting my new house .

AgeingDoc · 26/09/2025 23:57

Sorry OP, I'm a 4th medical student who takes myself far too seriously to be out having fun. I'll either be in the library or trailing around after the junior doctors on the ward. But if you're passing, could you drop in with a can of Diet Coke and a Topic please - I'll pay you back when my grant cheque for this term finally arrives I promise.
