A Saturday from which year?

[Neverendinggapyear]

Got the bus into town with K, T, L & A Headed to HMV and got my favourite cd. Tried on clothes in River island and Topshop, nothing looked good, the shiny skirt and fluffy top looked amazing on T and she knew it!
Pinched lip liners from Body shop, sprayed some White musk and managed to get out without anyone noticing.
Ate two Boosts and Pickled onion monster munch on the bus home, felt gross, will never be thin now.
Ate Spag Bol for tea and watched 90210 then Blind date.
Met everyone down the passage, pissed on Strongbow super, K robbed 5 embassy off her mum.
Got tickets for Bowlers next week, sooooo excited, hope F goes, I’m wearing my Kangol trainers or Gazelles and a crop top.

@Orgasmagorical 😁
Much nicer to my poor mother now, I often apologise to her for those challenging years, when I’ve had a drink 🙈
Still in contact with all the friends, but moved abroad since and reading it has made me so nostalgic for Manchester!

Same age as me and pretty similar location…was worried you’d stumbled upon my memoirs! Those were the days.

1996. Liverpool.

@CatkinToadflax

I’m trying to guess your friends’ names OP! Karen, Tracey, Lisa, Andrea?!

I guess Kate, Tash, Leanne/Laura and Alex. But I'm struggling with the (male?) F.

Bugger! Should have read to the end!!

My mum says mithering a lot. She’s from Liverpool.

1988 Cardiff

@LobotomisedIceSkatingFan Remember Heartbreak high too 🤣yes, thinking about it, I thought I was around 13 when I watched it 🤔 maybe I ‘Taped’ it on my VHS, I’m really not sure as during that time I can’t see myself enjoying it, who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

@5128gap The male is a nickname, no one could ever get it, I doubt!

@TinyDancer78 They definitely were!
Another lifetime ago.

1992

1995/6. I was 16 then and it all sounds very familiar!

Hahaha I was going to say Manchester 1994 and saw you'd already said.

You sound lovely now, Neverending

1991

@shouldistop

shouldistop 🤣The potato cake thing was not well known where I’m from (I don’t think) never heard friends say it, but my background is part Irish..if potato cakes are from there 🤷🏻‍♀️😂I just know I always had them with butter on when ill

It was potato cake that threw me, I don't think the term is used in England and they're potato or tattie scones in Scotland.

So I'm reverting back to Manchester 1995 then

I’m 55 and I e eaten potato cakes since I was a kid, Wray Yorkshire. We always had the friend with bacon and beans. I still love them, fried, with bacon and beans 😀

1993 manchester

1980s.

@SpeakingFranglais They were so lovely, think mine were toasted and then had lashings of butter on top 😋

@Orgasmagorical 🤣

Oh I love this. Definitely the north in the late nineties. Say Lancashire, 1996?

Just seen your update - my dad was from Stockport, small world!

Hmm fluffy tops, white musk and blind date- I’m thinking 1987/1988

Def Manchester; I was wearing kickers in 92 I think but knee high boots in 94.
My claim to fame is I bumped into scary and baby spice in afflecks palace at their most up coming famous stage in their outfits. They had a gaggle of people just kind of following them around watching! That was prob 95.

1997

Love this thread. I guessed 94 and reading through I was right yay
