Been doing deep thinking and... I like the idea of having a bf or gf. But the more I think about it, the more I don't like what it would actually entail. Cos I'm super independent which makes me sound like a workaholic. I'm not that either. I just like/need my own space. Real relationships are hard work. Fictional relationships are all chocolates and dates and someone boosting your esteem for yo... » Continue Reading
Just been to the designer centre. Got : Chrome Blue Jacket Felt pens MTV quiz game Did Not Get: Football stuff I can go back another time for An AMAZING long silver jacket which looked like it had just stepped out a music video in the year 2000. Someone is going to buy that. Cost £75 which is a lot. Whoever buys that is going to have to find somewhere to wear it cos it is fun but it is so extrav... » Continue Reading
One thing I loved more than ‘going to the amusements’ as a kid was when they had something other than the typical 2p machines (and fruit machines at the back for the adults, and kiddy rides for the little ones). One of these was the Hologram Museum. I loved it. You were invited in by Marilyn Monroe and by your own reflection which reached out to hold your hand as if you were me » Continue Reading
Nostalgia post '99, February dragged forever... We were just chilling, listening to B*witched, crushing over boys in Westlife, while we sat on our chrome-blue inflatable chairs in our chrome-blue Mark 1 tops, listening to Europop. We were kids but we were visionaries. Dreamt more of a future than the grown ups ever did. X » Continue Reading
My N Sync Morning Routine song is: Bye, Bye, Bye . I predicted this. I try not to have a lie in but to be 'up and at em' instead :)) And my 'beauty regime' is simple: wash face, brush teeth, brush hair, get dressed. Which NSYNC Song Embodies Your Early Morning Routine? (playbuzz.com) » Continue Reading

I'm a skeptic about the millennium bug. For people who don't know, a bunch of computer scientists worked round the clock to change computer dates from 2 digit years ('99) to 4 digital years (1999). The explanation I've read for that is that computers would have otherwise reached 01/01/00 and thought it was 1900 and stopped working. Computers aren't just laptops and PCs but are in anything electr... » Continue Reading
They'd have figured Richard Hillman out by now (don't ruin it for me lol I'm watching classic Corrie & pretending like it's 2003...) if Peter didn't also have dark, brooding, Byronic looks/attitude. Richard just looks off into the distance & starts talking in vague terms about "you and the children are the only ones who matter to me". Everything layered with a double meaning. » Continue Reading
I've seen a Youtube video blaming Y2K fashion for the lack of pockets in trousers. This is so silly to me :)). Everyone I knew in Y2K-2003 wore combat trousers at some point! It wasn't just unisex, it was that old ladies started to do it as well lol. Cos they were so practical so why not? Started out as a tomboy/guy trend for youngsters but everyone I knew had their moment wearing them. Think my... » Continue Reading
Match Game: Classic Toys Quiz (sporcle.com) I found this incredibly easy but a lot of fun! Think I had 14/16 of these toys growing up. Not all of them were new like Beanie Babies (I still collect those!). Some were old like View-Finder. But we kept toys as a family so I had both. » Continue Reading
Texture : Frozen feet on a January evening I'm watching a TV show which uses the much criticised trope of 'mum is lost in space missing child'. I like to consider myself a feminist but honest confession time? I like this trope. It's realistic. A mum with a 6 year old kid WOULD be lonely as hell missing her child. My solution? Make the dads in space have b plots where they miss their kids too. Hec... » Continue Reading
