I won’t be born for 13 more years, but I’d buy a house in zone 1!

Go to Rollerdisco. Miss that place.

Not to listen to my mother pushing me into a teaching career I never wanted. Untold miserable years followed.

I wasn’t born yet but I’d go back and spend some time with my dad, who died in 1995 when I was 7. I’d get some adult perspective of him and see what he used to get up to in his early 20s.

I’d have bought better quality pixie boots given how much I wore them.

Hug my parents and tell them how much I love them.

I'm so sorry for whatever you had to go through....I have no idea, but I send loads of hugs your way 😥

Oh bless you, Thank you!

I've actually given myself quite a shock with that being my first thought and the fact I actually wrote it down. If I were to see her I'd probably pee my pants and curl into a ball on the floor crying like a baby. She terrifies me. I couldn't stab her, I couldn't stab anyone.

Go to habitat and buy red heart wallpaper

CaveatmTOR · 26/03/2023 20:05

Train as a nurse instead.

rossogingerale · 26/03/2023 20:11

Give my Mum & Dad the biggest hug and tell them how much they mean to me.

Agitated to get out of CSE Maths and get into the O Level Maths set.

My 'friends' aren't going to get jobs for me, feed me or look after me.

They want a laugh at my expense and to doss about.

Nah the CSE set rocks man! Who needs O levels ? Grin

Go to Gothenburg on the ferry.

RosaMoline · 26/03/2023 20:27

Not fuck up the relationship I was in. If financially possible, beg, borrow or steal to buy a property in Hoxton, Shoreditch
or Spitalfields

Moonflower12 · 26/03/2023 20:31

I would have not left the lovely boyfriend I had then, due to a massive miscommunication.

( We found each other again and have been together 15 years again)

I would have worked harder at school and trained as a nurse, which is what I wanted to do, not as a teacher which my parents wanted.

I'd have also bought a house in our cheap area which is now verrrry expensive!
