In reply to Em Linthorpe. Aww dude thank you. I initially accepted the challenge because I thought it would be simple, I was wrong. It must be that that bit of the North East creates two types of girls, those who are parents at 14 and cool ones! I jest of course, I'm not really making sweeping generalisations. It does hurt my head thinking about how different life could be if only one little thing had been done differently! Thanks for reading :)

Your writing is beautiful ❤ and I do imagine this was quite difficult to write. It choked me up in a few places and you’ve inspired me to write something similar. Teenage me doesn’t sound too dissimilar to teenage you, and funnily enough I was just down the road in Middlesbrough ? As you’ve commented above too, it’s incredibly difficult to advise your younger self because had we taken that advice, we wouldn’t be exactly where we are now, and would we change that? Ouch, brain ache! Take care ☺

In reply to Louise (Little Hearts, Big Love). Thanks for taking the time to read. I'm dreading the time when my children will be making 'mistakes' abd fretting over the irrelevant, I'll want to fix it, they won't want to listen and I'll have to sit on the sidelines watching it all play out. I should imagine that's how my mum felt all them years ago!

Love this. I’d forgotten all about the tie-dye craze – it wasn’t a good look although I thought it was the best thing ever at the time! Great advice to your 15 year old self especially the bit about not being jealous of the girls at school that are all that. So true that once you get a few years down the line, you no longer care anyway. I remember my older sisters telling me that at the time – it’s hard to believe when you’re in the middle of all that teenage angst though. #coolmumclub

In reply to mummuddlingthrough. Thanks for your lovely comment. I should imagine that what may seem intriguing is probably quite boring! I wasn't being intentionally vague :D Thanks for taking the time to read and for leading the gang,

An incredibly moving post – I’m intrigued as to the whys about some of the details…but I guess they’re for you to know.

What a brilliant thing to appear on your Facebook. I want to do it too. You should make it a Blogger Tag!
Loved these lessons:
Regret the things you’ve done, not those things you haven’t done.
The amount of friends you have is irrelevant, it’s the quality of friend that counts.
I think it’s great to hear how happy you are now. Perhaps it’s being in your 40’s because I honestly feel the same. Thank you for linking up to #ablogginggoodtime ?

It’d be lame to admit I don’t know what a blogger tag is wouldn’t it? 🙂
Thanks for reading !

In reply to ourrachblogs. Ah, thanks so much for such a lovely comment. I was surprised at how tricky I found writing this. I've probably said a hundred times "if I could go back in time I'd change this or do that" then when I REALLY think about the impact it would have on now I wouldn't risk it. It hurts my head thinking about it! *goes to lay in dark room*
