I may put up the pic tomorrow where I slept with a swimming hat on to try and straighten it ( pre-straightener days)...THAT looks like I have a bowl on my head!

I can actually remember that dress. It had little daisy shape buttons all up the front.

I'll post another in a bit when I was about 6. You can then all have a really good laugh!

Itchy bum??

Noooooo Farrah Fawcett should have had more than one wish at the gates of heaven methinks.

I love the piccy with the hat though although he looks so serious

great thread loving all the pics.. cute kids even if the outfits are a bit dodgy here and there.. made me LOL for real in places ..

The basin-bowl years. My Dad went ballistic when my Auntie cut my hair like this the first time... the only family argument I remember happening in front of me. Once it was cut like this I had this style until secondary school.



This doll was called Susan – I vividly remember the smell of her plastic red shoes.



Feeding “Catherine”. The dog was imaginatively called “Scotty”.

If I look a bit sickly here it was because I had recently been run over by a car, developed mumps whilst in hospital and then had the school photo taken. I would like to submit this one into the “Most comprehensive forehead plaster” category.



This Kenneth More look-a-like was my “boyfriend” John. We were the same age - I was just quite tall for my age.

Do you like my cardi?

Last – and worst – basin cut. I am the tall one on the right: the one with the worst basin cut in the history of basin cuts, or so I thought until I saw the piccies in here!

I blame Lees St. Congregational church for this.

Oh joyous rapture, I'm not the only one to have had worrying knitted outfits as a child.

I would have loved to have sniffed Susans red plastic shoes I like sniffing things.

I've just been cleaning and came across a box of pics, some more pearlers, you'll have to wait until I scan them.

Bunneh, I don't know if that haircut is a full on pudding bowl, it seems to have a bit of shaping to it

Love the little lad who is your boyfriend, he looks like a right cheeky chappie.

As for the cardi - strobetastic

No. I didn't have one at any time (I don't think). Mind you, would I admit it if I had?

cinds, check out Bunnehs other photos - she's got the jumper in red too PMSL

Last photo – probably about 12 – I had by this time rebelled and escaped the bowl.

Bunny, I'm loving your knitwear and your boyfriend was a cutie!

One of the pics I've just found, I too have escaped the bowl cut, I had moved on to the perfect 'Lady Di' flick

I had 3 identical knitted jumper/ skirt combos - red, green and blue. I bet mu auntie knitted them a bit too big because I don't remember wearing much else for at least 5 years during winter

I have some photo's of my two lads as toddlers with pudding bowl haircuts.

Far more shameful to be the inflictor (if there is such a word) of the eebil haircut than the victim.

I've got a picture of my little boy in a wedding dress *wonders whether she should show it*, bless him he transformed in to a lovely skipping little girl the moment he put it on.

He was a right little sod! We had an argument about something or other and he knocked on my door the next day, I said "go away", he said "open the letter box", I did, looked through it and he spat at me!!! I knew then that it was over.... – I never saw him again (although that’s not strictly true - he lived directly across the street ).

It could have been worse, he might have shoved a stick that had a chunk of dog poo on it through the letter box, not that that ever happened to me, although I was chased a few times by boys with dog poo sticks, and whipped with nettles by one of them

Cinds - I cannot wait for the next batch - get scanning!! Not only do I love your mum, her knitting machine and the way she used you like a doll to express her fashion ideas but it's your expressions - seems in some photos that you had resigned yourself to the humiliation!

I'm looking well chuffed about being shoved in the front basket of my aunt and uncles motorbike...

I am sailing, I am sailing... I was about 2 or 3 in Holland. My mum looks all glam and my dad looks like A Kray twin or Buddy Holly lol

Ladybug you don't look too pleased on either of those.

OK scanner has been busy, so here are some more nuggets of delightful haircuts and fashion crimes.

The Lady Di years

A few Christmas ones frm different years
I loved those jamas



I had to leave the 2 sisters in the background as their faces are brilliant!



Bald and miserable, perhaps I knew what hair horrors were to come

Oh and an Easter bonnet, never has a cornflake box and kleenex looked so good.
