Back in the Day

It was my sister's 18th this weekend, which meant lots of looking through photo albums trying to find embarrassing pictures. I picked out a couple I loved to stick on here.

This was on holiday in Portugal I think. I loved being a tiger and this was my favourite dress as a child. We had two ducklings at one point though and I remember one of them pooed on it.

The good old Barbie jeep - this made loads of noise when it was being driven around, much to the delight of the neighbours. When we got to heavy for it, my dad put a HUGE battery in it to make it go faster and my sister and I used to sit with our legs over the bonnet, one hand steering and the other pressing the accelerator because our legs would no longer fit into it.

My nan has got a pool and all of the kids from next door used to come round to play every weekend. I'm second from the right and my sister is second from the left. In between swimming, we used to raid my nan's makeup drawer and do "egyptian style" makeup. I wish there was a picture of that.

A pretty funky party dress. This is me and my sister as a chunky baby.

My mum and dad back in the day - check out her jumper - so eighties. I wish she still had it.

And finally my dad in what I think are Ray Ban Clubmasters first time round. I wish he'd kept all of his sunglasses - he would have had a massive collection of Ray Bans by now!

I think summer time in the UK is officially over because it just has not stopped raining. Hope everyone else is experiencing better weather!
