rammygirl Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well l was 16 and indestructible! We had a 50th reunion with 10 of my mates last year. What can I say a long weekend of drinking nothing but fizz and sitting up till the early hours in a giant sleepover brought back some great memories. The mix tapes of music were ....... Well eeclectic from rock, punk, new age , and disco. Dancing round the handbags was never so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've gone to bed to continue posting on here? And here was me hoping that in 20 years I would still have the opportunity to get a bit. Thats the most depressing thing I have read in a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbsy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Well, I can't speak for the wealth/work thing but the fact that I didn't have to think about it is probably a good sign. However, from a private life point of view it was a darn good one--I'd been in London for going on 2 years so knew my way around. I had a nice circle of friends and a good local pub. So life was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I got delayed. I never take my phone or computer to bed. I leave them plugged in downstairs. The last post was only 10 mins later after I had tidied up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I had 3 babies and next one due soon. Busy days but very happy. We were struggling a bit financially because I was home with the kids but we had a house and lovely big garden in Melbourne. Holidays were in a small tent but the kids loved it and it was dirt cheap. We would pack the kids and dog into the little car ( no aircon then) and head off to the beach , rough camping and fires on the beach at night - probably illegal now.

The last post was only 10 mins later after I had tidied up. My wife is just as bad. She says she is off to bed and twenty minutes later she is still piss farting around. Or, I'm ready to leave now. I go and put the kids into the car and then we wait, and wait, and wait. She obviously wasn't bloody ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You have to add at least 20 minutes to any time a woman says, you not learned that yet? unless of course she is giving you the deadline, when you are expected to be punctual even if she is late.

Guest Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I was 8. Remember it well. Flares were on the way out, skin tight jeans and safety pins holding clothes together, on the way in. As was increased sales in hairspray for teenagers of both sexes :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
