Wow Lindsay Lohan looks.. different
I really enjoyed this, she always takes me back to my childhood/teenage yearsWow Lindsay Lohan looks.. different
All the rage was thinking up something cool to put underneath in your status. I often used sing lyrics and stuff that makes me cringe now.Oh my gosh I remember this!
Anyone remember the rumours about MSN monitoring conversations once you used the word 'bomb'? We just used to say it constantly![]()
Being evacutated for that must have been horribly scaryI was around 10/11 when the 9/11 happened. I wasn’t really aware of what was going on. They did bring a film crew to our school to film us doing a one minute of silence.
Our school was also evacuated during the July London bombings.
Ýes and especially when you were in some kind if petty argument with someone having really emotional onesI was around 10/11 when the 9/11 happened. I wasn’t really aware of what was going on. They did bring a film crew to our school to film us doing a one minute of silence.

My then-boyfriend was on a summer exchange and told me that there was a London daytrip planned. I remember hearing on the news that there was the bombing in London, and realized that that was the exact day he told me the day trip would be. I got sooo scared and started phoning him, even though it was very expensive back then to phone from Germany to the UK. He picked up, told me that they all were well, but scared as there was chaos around them.
Ooo no what time do they do that?I’m probably late to the party as usual, but does anyone listen to Noughties anthems on Radio 1 on a Sunday? I love it
I’m sure it’s 11am on a Sunday. I love it! Speaking of Noughties, I saw the Sugababes at Hyde Park on Saturday, they were so good. They did a wee segment of uk garageOoo no what time do they do that?
I remember they had SO much emphasis on loving your body, and not developing an eating disorder, but then they actually pushed being thin so much. A girl would write in saying "I hate my chubby thighs" and the agony aunt would tell her to lose weight. They'd occasionally give away a piece of naff clothing as the free gift and it was always really small and revealing, like a halterneck top or something. I remember this general attitude of "Oh no poor delicate 6 stone girls hating their weightThat Mizz magazine took me right backI've just been reading through this thread and remembering some of these, the 'tampons give you toxic shock syndrome' one used to give me the fear
I also remember more magazine would have an article on how to love you body but then you would turn the page and there would be a diet plan with the heading ‘how lose half a stone in fortnight’!!I remember they had SO much emphasis on loving your body, and not developing an eating disorder, but then they actually pushed being thin so much.

I remember this general attitude of "Oh no poor delicate 6 stone girls hating their weight" / "Ew, big ten stone girls hate their weight - eat less chocolate!"
It was also awkward because at that age it's hit-and-miss whether you have been through puberty or not. I felt quite lonely being a post-pubescent 12 year old who was basically the height and weight of an adult woman, feeling like I was hideously large and big and manly, next to all the delicate 6 stone pre-pubescent 12-year-old little girls, who were always writing in to say they were insecure because their boobs hadn't come in yet.
I totally loved Mizz, Sugar, J-17 and all that lot, don't get me wrong - I just remember this one weird obsession they had about our body size.
I like all the tweens/teens in my family was a victim of puppy large, and I used to hate those mags always made me feel like a hippo luckily it all dropped of magically when I was about 14 and I had the body and metabolism I would sell my soul for nowI remember they had SO much emphasis on loving your body, and not developing an eating disorder, but then they actually pushed being thin so much.

I'm kinda mortified that I'm old enough that my teenage years have become retroI had a juicy couture tracksuit in 2006 (loved the WAG culture back then!) and Im seeing them again now on TikTok and in JD. Not going to lie part of me really wants another one because it was the comfiest outfit I’ve ever had 🫠![]()
I wish I'd kept some.of my clothes from that time, could.probably make some good money selling them to teenagers on vinted or whateverI'm kinda mortified that I'm old enough that my teenage years have become retroLast year I saw a teenage girl walking down the street wearing those big baggy black jeans from circa 2005 (with the chain that held nothing, just looped between two belt loops for no reason) and I thought "Oh God, it begins!"
At least I haven't yet seen any of those jeans that just had the random straps hanging off them!
I was cleaning out my closet a while ago, and I found this little handbag I had in about 2009, which is black faux leather with a leather bow on the front that has silver studs punched through it. Man I thought I was so Lady GaGa with that! I literally had friends who would beg me to sell it to them, and it's funny how naff it looks now!I wish I'd kept some.of my clothes from that time, could.probably make some good money selling them to teenagers on vinted or whatever
I charity shopped some Kate moss for Topshop stuffI wish I'd kept some.of my clothes from that time, could.probably make some good money selling them to teenagers on vinted or whatever
I would actually sell my sole for topshop jeansI charity shopped some Kate moss for Topshop stuff
My uni clothes from like Topshop and oasis sell really well on depop, I guess as that was in the 00s and that look is trending![]()
