One of Matt’s mates came up with this cute little hash tag yesterday on Twitter and I thought I’d take it blog side!

Trike

Now we know where Noah gets his socks & crocs fetish from….
I had also totally forgot how bloomin light my hair was as a toddler! Madness!

Fairy

Here I am re-enacting the famous Fairy Liquid advert… as you do… obviously…
Nanette Newman eat your heart out!

Go on, I dare you! Get hunting out some piccies of the old you and link me up to your post so I can have a giggle gander! :)

xo

P.S

There are rumblings of a mahoosive M&S sale tomorrow!
Totally unconfirmed BUT I’ve seen it mentioned on a number of forums now AND they do normally throw their secret sales on the day of Thurs! Worth a look just in case! Especially if you’re a fan of their shoes like me! xx

Hi Arlene,

You look adorable in the photos above-love how even as a kid you were colour coordinated and had a blue hairband to match you blue and white clothes!!!!

Thanks for the tip RE: M&S sale-I popped in this morning to have a look and you were dead right. There are some good bargains however only about 1/4 or less of the store items are on sale.

Did you pick up anything yourself???

I saw your other post about the online bullying you have been experiencing and I am so sorry. I love your blog and always look forward to seeing if you have a new post up. Bullying is a horrible thing-I was bullying right through secondary school and it really dents you self-esteem. Know that you are a strong person for tackling it head on and you have the support of a lot of people. I hope you feel better soon pet,

Lots of love xxx

Hi Aletha, thanks so much bird. It's been so awful, I can't quite comprehend how you would cope with it as a teen, as I'm doing so badly as a grown woman. Funnily though I do feel so much better now I've told everyone what's been going on.

I did get out this morning to the sale. Bit disappointing wasn't it? Although I got lots of bargain clothes for the boys and a really comfy cardy for myself. I've all but given up on summer :) xox

I was quite disappointing. All I was really looking for were some nice pairs of shoes and pumps that I had spotted a few weeks back and when I got to the store, only 4 styles of shoes were on sale!!! They weren't even the ones that I was looking for either :-(

It could be to do with the fact that it was a small M&S too.

Glad you picked up a few bargains for youself and the kids ;-)

You were very cute as a kid Arlene:) I love the Fairy Liquid pose.

I'm so sorry to hear the reason you quit Twitter and I hope you can rise above it and come back. I myself have been on there less and less lately.

For what it's worth I loved reading all your tweets and seeing all the pics you posted. I felt like I knew you really well. Also I think you are the only blogger who's blog posts I read religiously. Whatever the topic I love reading them;) And I go back quite a lot and read old blog posts too. I have had a few purchases which are down to you lol

I hope Teddy is on the mend now. Give him a big cuddle from me xx

Thanks Jenny, that means so much to me, all the more so because you're a local gal :)

Teddy is on the mend but a total stinker today. I think I've been overdoing it with the treats :/ xox
