Spent this afternoon finally sorting through all the boxes of sentimental stuff in the Boxes Of Sentimental Stuff Cupboard, and it has been QUITE the trip down Memory Lane. Herewith a selection of some of the more random (but still joy-sparking) items which have been kept...
Ever wondered what I looked like aged 17, with curtains and wearing a polo neck? Of course you have. Behold! (NB: That badge says & #39;Senior Prefect& #39; before anyone makes a & #39;Head Boy& #39; joke...)
Ever wondered what I might have looked like at my 21st birthday party, smoking a fag? Wonder no more!
Curious to know how I would look peroxide blond with an earring? VOILA!
Almost 24 years ago to the day, a birthday party at the uber-cool, exclusive Atlantic Bar & Grill - it& #39;s now @BrasserieZedel!
A can of @HeinzUK Baked Beans from the @Fortnums tercentenary range, 2007. Probably still OK to eat tbh.
A poster of Simon Gilbert from Suede, torn out of Select magazine and signed by Simon backstage at a gig at Poole Arts Centre circa 1993. Taking a picture of & #39;the gay one& #39; led my friend I was with to ask me if I was gay, and it was the first time I ever said yes. Thank you Simon!
Louis Tomlinson keyring and 1D stationery set. Because of COURSE I& #39;m team Louis!
2.5million Turkish lira!
I& #39;m a sucker for a special-edition Coca-Cola!
And finally, a bill from @langanslondon - not unimpressive even for sixteen years ago (two bottles, cocktails and liqueurs - decent!) And I& #39;m still great friends with the ex I went with, who& #39;s now, in one of the Universe& #39;s great coincidences, good friends with Darren our server!
Oh how could I forget these - one Christmas Mum made me up a hamper inspired by food & drink which appears in the James Bond books, and taped the corresponding quotes to the items in the hamper:
