Jools Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Here goes, 7). When you buy your first house, start decorating. If you put it off you still won't have finished when you are writing you this -. If you ever have an overwhelming sense of forboding about the well being of someone close, you are right, act immediately. 10). Don't laugh at people who have allotments and keep chickens Kev. Yup, and trust your instinct, it will rarely let you down. Ignore it at your peril. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Chickens are wonderful. Don't wait until you are 45 to start keeping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Dear Jane Please stop thinking that you are fat and start wearing clothes where people can see your figure. It is pretty good at the moment. If you do go to Switzerland for your Gap Year, make sure you have proper ski lessons and don't just fling yourself down a slope doing snowplough - otherwise you will be a snowplougher all your life and at 44 you will officially be the slowest skier in the world! Don't smoke and eat too much chocolate and cheese in Switzerland. 13 1/2 stone will not look good on you and you will scare your mother when you get home. Oh - and WEAR RUBBER GLOVES when you are cleaning or your hands will look like the hands of an eighty year old by the time you are twenty and THEY WILL NEVER RECOVER!!! Tell your dad that you love him loads as he's not going to be around for very long. Life is not a rehearsal (but your dad has already told you that!) love Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Dear Sarah, You parents are better off apart - stop trying to get them back together. In a year all will be calm & happy between them as they go on to live their own lives. Don't turn down that opportunity to study film & theatre make-up in London,or you will be forever working in shops. When you move out of the family home & into life with the man who you will spend the rest of your life with,don't throw anything away,as you will regret it when you are 44. People will never fail to disappoint you,but you can work on not being a disappointment to them. Smile a lot! Cut off that stupid mini plait thing at the back of your shaven hair - it looks ridiculous ! If you must wear ra-ra skirts in the wind,then make sure you have decent pants on Lastly, in a years time you will meet a beautiful boy, with whom you will fall madly in love. You will think he is in love with you too - plans & promises will be made,holidays will be booked,London study will be forgotten,the future together will be dreamt of. A word of warning - he is gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 This went around on Twitter a while ago. I don't think I'd tell myself anything, I don't expect I'd believe it. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason & it's all down to fate, so go with the flow. At 16 I thought I never wanted to get married & have children. So what happened? I met future hubby at 17, got married at 21 & have 3 children by the age of 30. I definitely wouldn't have believed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dear Me Do not worry about your weight - you are thin and by dieting you are really messing up your system and you'll end up fat. Also stop eating your emotions - it doesn't help and you'll end up fat. Have the courage to express your feelings or you'll miss your knight in shining armour. Don't care what other people think (to a certain extent - obviously not go too far) and stop trying to please everyone. They won't thank you for it. If you want to listen to rock music and dress like a Goth, then do so - your parents should know you are the same person underneath the covers and shouldn't love you any less. Enjoy life to the full and don't miss any opportunity because you are too shy. Fight the shyness and you won't regret it. And don't have children - they will drive you round the bend (and then some). Love from Me. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dear Me, Don't worry about your big feet. In 2011 they will be pretty average and there will be plenty of lovely shoes that fit you. Don't believe people when they say that blue shoes make your feet look smaller, they don't they just look blue. That parting in your afro is really not a good look, ditch it quickly before it appears in any photos. Don't bother with that letter you are going to write to Michael Jackson telling him that you were meant to be together. He is not good marriage material and it comes back undelivered anyway. Don't worry that your mum is obsessed with your brothers, there is nothing wrong with you, the problem is all her's. Pester her to let you play the saxophone, it is not a waste of money and if you start now you will be a great player. Be strong, you will use all of the negative stuff to make you a stronger and better person. You have a dreadful memory so keep a diary.

The Dogmother Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I once had broad orange stripes through my dark and spiky flat-top. In hindsight it wasn't a good look, but I thought it was brilliant at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I dyed my hair blonde, hated it, dyed it back to near enough what it should have been - but it went orange! It was a tough choice between putting up with being a carrot or shaving my head. I chose to stick with carrot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't have your hair permed, you have lovely shiney blonde hair that will still be blonde in your 40's when the friend with shiny dark hair you envied so much will be grey. Try to stay as fit as you are now, you will miss it later. When I mentioned this thread to my OH he said that there would be no point in telling your 16 year old self anything because they wouldn't listen. This is so true, ut it is a nice idea.

Clur Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dear Clur, 1) Pink Lady & Blue Nun are not sophisticated drinks 2) Neither is snakebite & black 3) Don't listen to the teachers who say you won't amount to much 4) You know you say you'll never work in an office and never work with computers? Errrm, you might be a little disappointed 5) You'll marry the lad you think will be ok to date over the summer holidays to stop you getting bored! 6) Stop being obnoxious to your parents, you don't know everything 7) You'll enjoy being 'square' one day If you use hair conditioner and don't go to an old ladies hair salon, you won't get annoyed with your hair and cut it all off 9) There will be something in the future called 'The National Lottery' - here are the winning numbers, keep 'em to yourself 10) A career is not everything, it doesn't define you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
