Anyhow,youve seen me helen,my hair isn't grey ,its a lovely "cappucino"colour......at least thats what it says on the bottle!!!
xxxx

My bottle says reddish light blonde.

My hair is a light to medium auburn after coloring.
It got very dark and gray! The grey turns out to be a lovely blonde streaks.

It used to be a pale strawberry blonde wow now that's a memory.

*could not decide how to spell grey and I forgot whether I am on the memory thread* Hey! I wonder if we could gain some memory by visiting this space

wouldn't that be lovely!!I woulo have to visit very often!!

Hello sal, hope things are going well? am not too bad gettin there see you are talkin about hair mines gone a lot greyer and fallin out r says am like our molting lol d xx

Hello there doris..lovely to hear from you.
Right,i have a memory question.What year did we go decimal??Does anyone remember???

Hi Smurfles

14th February 1971! How's that for a memory!! I remember we were trying for a baby at around that time, and I suddenly thought - "My baby is never going to know the old money - not even as a memory. He/she will be born into a decimal currency Britain."

I remember, too, coming home on the train on decimalisation day and a visitor to this country, with very little English, proffered a handful of change and asked me how much each coin was worth. It was a mixture of old and new money, and I remember thinking; "This poor guy is new into this country, and has also got to cope with two currencies!"

I helped him the best I could. Got out at my station, and he got out too and started to follow me home!!! I spotted a neighbour just ahead of me, who I didn't really know that well, and ran up to him declaring, "Darling! I didn't know you were on the same train as me," and threw my arms around him, hissing in his ear, "Play along, I don't like the man who is following behind us."

My poor neighbour looked very startled, but put his arm through mine and engaged in small talk until my stalker turned round and headed back to the station!!

Take care, UG

Thank you for that UG,and lovely to see you!!
That was a question in a pub quiz that my daughter was doing...and she sent me a text,thinking i would know.Isaid it was 1970,the next text said ""thanks mum"!!wrong that time .
Someone should bottle memory ,and sell it((i wish)!!!!
As for the man on the train,i think i might have felt safer with him tagging along than with some of my neighours!!!
xxxxx

Hi UG & Sal, Yep! I remember when we went decimlised I was abroad at the time for two years, and got a shock when I came home when I discovered that Everything had more then doubled in price

Had a wee when UG was telling us about her stalker, it was like a scene from a movie

Thats how I met Mk2, (No not stalking her)
I went into a pub for a pint when I was working away from home, and there she was behind the bar

It was at first site, so I said "A pint of larger love, and what are you doing for the rest of your life"

We have been together ever since, and that was 14 years ago
Smudger.

hi smudger

so you got your moneys worth with that pint


i met my ex hubby at work, he was as relief security guard at the time and i worked in the canteen.
and i met my present partner as he was driving one of the local buses.

so where did everyone else meet their husbands/partners??????

h

I can recall that helen!he moved in to the same street i lived in......when i was six and he was seven!!Fifty years ago this year!!
SMUDGER,my mother met my father where she worked.She worked behind the bar at the local train station,all those years ago.She apparently met jack warner there as well..when he was in dixon of dock green!!!

Hey! this could an interesting thread!! Who met who and when

Its funny really, as I used to wonder what happenend to folk that "ran away" sort of thing, Now I know!!
Smudger.

i ran away.

with my ex.
he left his first wife and we moved from birmingham to telford.
we did that to get away from her and her family.

and he has now moved on with his new wife(no 3) and i think he is back in birmingham.

he left me here in telford.

h

blimey helen,give him a few years and he could be back in telford again!!!!(with no4).
it
it's odd,when i was younger a lot of peole semed to go to gretna green to get married,it isn't heard of half as much now.I suppose it might be because as many people don't get married,and the trend seems to be to get married later in life than whwn we were young.

hi sal.

that doesnt surprise me.. wife no4, that is.
i cant see him coming back here though.
he is the type to run and hide and he wouldnt want to come back and find me laughing at him.

Hi all

Hi Folks, Well theres a couple of interesting posts, where everyone elses
Myself & Mk2 had to return, rather than run away as we had to sell my big house,as I had just returned from working in Russia, and settle my divorce! which cost!!!

But then we legged it
Smudger.

I new my hubby from his older sister.
Lynn said her brother was coming an needed a job.
I asked my 1st husband if he would hire him and he did.
I was unhappily married and left 1st husband about that time.

My Hubby and I were friends for a few years before we got a bit tipsy and friendly one night
Horrified at possibly ending the friendship we directly went on seperate vacations frightened by our impetuous actions! Came home and have been together ever sinceWe started to live with each other but our place burned down and a series of disasters. We ended up in different towns but close.

About 6 years into that it we broke up shortly after we decided to marry After a bumpy few months we got all the fears ( my imaginary block- he is 7 years younger)out of the way and have been married for 14 years now. We did not attempt to live together again until we got married.

We met and live 1200 miles (16 hours)from where we grew up.
We grew up in fairly close proximitybut I would have been his babysitter!

Hi Abbi, That was an interesting post, seems we have yet another thing in common
Its a high price that some of us have to to pay for "happines"

I never realised just how much of a "snob" my first wife was, when I was earning all that big money, and living in a big house, until I met an old mate one night and invited him to stay over as he was having a bit of bad luck

Then when I met Mk2 well like I said, happines is everything
Smudger.

Hello everyone.II think we could have some smashing stories on here!!!It's good that abbi and smudger found happiness the second time around.(surely thats the title of a song!!)Any more interesting stories to follow????
