Mac, have you also got a newspaper clip of your birthday?
When you were born times must have been a bit better.

Teri sadly I dont have the newspaper of the day I was born Teri.I had 3 fabulous aunts and a grandma to tell me all about it !I have a twin brother and we  were due in march but we came early as twins do.There was no clothes for us etc,and we slept in a draw lol.........I get the feeling we were much loved and being twins it was a novelty too.

I too had a job as a kid a very hard one potatoe picking on the farm for this we got ?1 a day and we thought we were royalty lol alas my mother needed it and that was that,but she did give ua all a tanner for the pictures.

Seems I have had an idle childhood, I was only asked to prepare the veggies and fruits for being conserved during my summer holidays. When I was older I worked in a factory during the holidays to earn some money for a bike or dancing lessons, for instance.

Reckon Teri's Mum knew that she would do a Good job!!
