Me growing up

Me and my mum somewhere near Hull, when I wasn't even 1 year old. Little monkey girl in the making!

Me and my uncles Dennis and Ted. And my big blue eyes, just like Dumbo. I was probably 1 or something here.

My mum made me this green dress, and my sister had a matching one. I was 3 here, and obviously a budding gymnast.

Not sure why I felt the need to put a skull and cross bones on this picture, and draw on an earring, but that's probably what little girls do. I think I was about 7 here, but I really don't know. I don't even know which school I was in.

What on earth am I doing with my legs behind my head on a beach in Belgium aged 10? I do despair sometimes. I really do.

I was 13 and on holiday in Great Yarmouth, about a year before I moved
there. This red jacket went everywhere with me! I think it's still in
my mum's loft.

Ah! He he he. This is when I was 18 and worked for a promotions company,
in between colleges. I had to do things like hand out free pens for WH
Smith, dress up as Roland Rat at a camp site, and dance on stage for the
local radio station's roadshows. Now, that's what I call living the high
life. What a moody face on me!

Oh, this was on a Club 18-30 holiday in Gran Canaria. Didn't we all have fab hair? From Left Karen, Gaynor, Steph, me, all about 19.

This was my sister's wedding in Great Yarmouth, I was 21 and had a groovy hair day.

2 self-portraits from my art college days in Leicester. I was 22 and very dramatic.

When I was little my mum told me that I ate a bendy Rupert the Bear toy. It must have had some severe side-effects as I've not stopped bending since!

I think I was 24 here. Might have been 23, though, in my first house in Cambridgeshire. I like this pic as it looks so unlike me!

I think I was 25 here, still in my first house. That's Lou Lou on the
left. Blimey, my hair's long!

I must have been 26 here, coz that's my little Charlie that I'm snuggling
as a baby. I've got cow's eyes here.

This is me when I was at my fattest (11 stone), aged 28 in Ibiza. I wasn't a happy bunny here, but life was soon to improve some!

Me in Denver, aged 30. This picture was taken by my lovely friend Brian.
I love this picture so much that there's a larger version of it here.
Sad techie that I'm not, I'm actually cuddling a Linux pengin. I dont'
know, give me something fluffy, and I'll mother it...

This was taken in London in September 2000, so I was 31 and three quarters. That's Tish on the right.

Me in my Spanish house 29th march 2001, aged 32

Me in my bed July 29th 2002, aged 33 and a half.

Me in my other bed May 2002, aged 34 and a bit.

Me and my poppet, in Winter 2004 aged 35 and a lot.

Me and my poppet, in November 2005 aged 36 and a lot. OK, I'll try to
get one where I'm not hardwired to daughter.

This is me aged 37 and 2 months. I have just one wrinkle, by the corner
of my mouth. Or "crescent" as Lisa Currants calls it.

This is me aged 38 and 5 months. I haven't quite grown up yet. I guess
it may happen one day but it is fun having the heart of a child. Can you
lick your elbow?
