25 years ago I was....

[user1466795981]

Exercising about 5-6 hours a day and on a very low calorie diet in order to get a slim body to try and impress my 'rough boy' crush.!! - Council estate, bad boy - you get the picture.

Managed to lose a stone in a month.

Who said feminism was dead?

I was about to start university. Was it really that long ago?

I was researching degree courses I could do.

And attending many weddings of friends.

And anticipating DC2 starting school.

And working as a barmaid to contribute to the family pot.

I was 25, slim and gorgeous. I am still 25 in my head.

At Drama school. dreaming of a part on The Bill.

I'd just started my first proper job in London, and was quite the girl about town. I was dating the son of an Earl, the owner of a car show room, and a builder, I married the builder five years later!

I was one, probably sucking on carpets.

I was nearly 2 so probably getting up to mischief and being cute

I was 13 and thought i was fat I was also dreaming of the day I could talk to a boy without blushing.

I read a steady flow of mills and boon which I stole and replaced every time I visited my aunt. I also spent my days recording the top 40 from the radio. Good times.

Planning DD's 15th birthday party.OMG Ican't believe that we're now planning her 40th.

I was 19, slim and gorgeous - even had some random bloke come up to me in the street in that summer to tell me I was beautiful (preens)

I was shagging a fuck buddy at weekends but was a few weeks off meeting my first live in boyfriend, we were together nearly 4 years.

The music was brilliant that summer, "set adrift on memory bliss"

I was working in a bank and out 3/4 nights a week we all managed to meet in places without the assistance of mobile phones.

Ahhh 1991 was one of my favourite years.

Maureen that's bloody lovely! Congrats!

Maureen that's bloody lovely! Congrats!

Summer holiday from university. Working in Birmingham. Writing letters (!!) to my boyfriend (now dh).

Yome 'letters'? What is this?

Did you keep his responses?

Chihuahualala - I loved 1991 as well - I remember that song - "I'm too sexy" was the anthem of the summer by Right Said Fred!! -

"Apparently Nothing" - Young Disciples (I could go on...)

An 18 month old baby probably teething

A (fairly obnoxious probably) 12 year old...18 days to becoming a teen. DD is currently bawling head off at being made to have the nap she wants . Lord knows what is to come when she hits that teenage milestone....DP and I are quaking!.

Two weeks old!

Ah how could I forget "I'm too sexy" ?

Sunshine on a rainy day.... Makes my soul makes my soul drift drift away!

Oh and. Summer summer time ....just sit back and unwind ...

Ace!

I did not buy 'Everything I do' by Bryan Adams! which was number one for ever !! - I like most of his songs just not that one.

I also remember - 'Now that we've found love' - Heavy D and the Boys
Winter in July - Bomb the Bass

I was 18, not much care in the world. Liked to rock out. In 4 months time my life as well as my parents would be changed forever as my 25 year old brother would be killed in a road accident.

I was enjoying the glorious summer between school and university. I had a job I liked, with people who liked to party, so we had about 3 works outings a week! I was having an absolute blast, and everything seemed possible. I was going to conquer the world and look fabulous doing it.
Happy days!

everything seemed possible

This is how I felt too!

Happy

DD1 was a baby and I was pregnant again - and in a relationship which was clearly going down the pan, with no job, no qualifications.

Please can we do 20 years ago? 30 and 25 were both a bit grim!
