On this day 30 years ago I was...

[user1466795981]

Sunning myself in Stresa, Lago Maggiore ..

Now 'stress' would be a more accurate description...

Trying to stay awake long enough to see Father Christmas.

I was about the size of a scotch egg inside my mother.

Next door.

I was 6 months old :)

Buying my first house.

We had just moved into our first flat, wondered how on earth we'd afford the £280 a month for it, and had barely a penny to celebrate Christmas. We slept on a single mattress on the floor and had been given a paraffin heater and a tiny portable TV.

Almost conceived - by about a week or so!

4 days away from my second babies due date
She was eventually born on 11th January 😁

Waiting for arrival of DD ! (born 28th Dec) .Mum was cooking Lunch and she and DH washed up when I fell asleep on my old bed!

I was partying like it was 1999.

I was organizing Christmas for my family with my first baby. I had MIL and FIL over as she had surgery day before and wasn't up for cooking and standing for long.

Spending my last Christmas as a single woman as I was getting married the following June.

I was 10, 4 of us plus gran & grandad living in my grandparents small 3 bed terrace

Probably climbing the walls with Christmas excitement and driving my parents up the wall

I was a 30 week foetus, most relaxed Christmas ever.

Pregnant with my second, but not so pregnant that I'd noticed.

3 years away from being born

Probably studying for my Inter Cert

I was 3 and probably asleep waiting for father christmas

I can't actually remember exactly what I was doing/what I got that year but I'm sure I was happy!

I was 10 days old.

Not born until the May after!

In Spain on holiday having a holiday romance with a gorgeous American sailor

I was 17, weighed about 6 st and thought that I knew it all . Now I'm twice the woman I was (weight) and worrying about my pension.

17 and serving people food in a local pub as a waitress - hating them all as I had desperately wanted to be in a non-local pub snogging the face off my then boyfriend. I was saving for uni though. It was the correct thing to do though - he snogged some other girl and I went to uni unencumbered by a loser boyfriend!

... aged 20, at univ, working part time as a waitress so was working lots of Christmas parties. Enjoying my course and had a good circle of friends.

I was celebrating DS1s first birthday!
