If you could go back to 1983, what's the first thing you'd do?

[Sinat]

I'd buy a brand new Volvo 340 straight from the Volvo dealership

I would have stayed in my mother's womb a bit longer. It was nice and cosy

Pay more attention to my education not get pregnant listen too my mother better the list goes on

Be assessed for ADHD and autism so I could receive appropriate support. As it was, didn't get ADHD diagnosis til I was 40, and autism at 50, and it's really fucked with my life.

Also get diagnosed with endometriosis. Didn't get that until I was 29, and by then had caused severe damage. Even though I'm menopausal now, still on morphine for pain, and had so many operations it's crippled me.

And being less serious, buy some Bovril flavour crisps. They were SOOO beefy and moreish, where on earth did they go?! 😢

Hug my Mum and Grandma as much as possible and enjoy the ‘80’s music. 😁

Buy that house and microsoft stock. File the patent for my navigation idea.

I would make a note to buy that house in Liverpool in 1989, and not get involved with the boy next door.

And buy shares in Apple etc!

Buy a street and a holiday home in Spain

I was diagnosed with dyspraxia about 10 years ago in my late 40’s. Has made so much sense & a relief that I’m actually not actively clumsy or careless. The opposite in fact.

Tell David Cook I secretly adored him. And ask my dad all the questions I never got to, before losing him.

I'd go and investigate what phillip schofield was up to...

I'd get a divorce instead of wasting the next 10 years thinking he was going to change.

Stop my little brother's murder

Snog the boy I fancied...

Ooh yes! And buy shares in Apple and Microsoft!!!

Ah, this is so sad 💐

Avoid a now ex boyfriend like the plague!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏impressive

Same here.....😥

I was 6 too but I ideally I'd have pleaded to stop my parents insisting on giving me a god-awful bowl haircut that I spent the next x years trying to grow out

Go to the pub and smoke while I enjoyed a drink.

Sorry, how awful!! I lost my DB too but it was a road accident. Both heartbreaking!

Obviously we don't know the circumstances about your DB but it must be dreadful to feel you might have been able to do something to stop it. I hope you have had support?

Give my Mom & Dad the biggest hug and tell them both how much I love them 😢

Hug my dad. And my grandparents. And my dog.
Apply to read something more vocational at Uni than English lit. And revise for my A levels so that I can go to my first choice instead of last choice uni.
Hunt down Morten Harket to see if he fancies me - he’s not famous yet so it’s the best chance I’ll have.
invent the curly girl method.
See David Bowie live.
