Back to my youth!


80's sensations!
Anyone who grew up in the 80's (I was actually born in the 60's) will remember most of these fab acts I saw Saturday 19th July at Blickling Hall in Norfolk, Howard Jones, Kim Wilde, Nik Kershaw, Paul Young, Dr and the Medics (see pic), China Crisis, Heaven 17, Rick Astley.....!! And they are still fab, and can still sing! Cant imagine Justin Timberlake, Eminem or Green Day still performing in 20 years time??
As the country is waiting for the inevitable recession, we are cost cutting like crazy in our house, so no summer hols away for us this year! groan :( on the plus side tho it looks like hubby has finally seeing sense and could be selling the gas guzzler!! Yay!... I mean, whats the point of a 6 litre American Camaro if you can only manage to take it out on the odd weekend your off work? And no sooner have you left the drive, your in the garage filling it with petrol again... another £60 please!! So unhappily (but he'll get over it) for him, hes decided to advertise it, and cos I eagerly agreed, with no hesitation, he said we would have to sell mine too and get something cheaper!! Agh! I love my Focus, and its false economy buying a cheaper car isnt it??.. hmmm will have to work on that one!
Seriously tho, with food prices and fuel prices going through the roof, and our fixed rate mortgage finishing in November Im not sure how we're all going to manage, its all very worrying!
