I loved Bliss and J-17 anyone remember the Diary of a Crush story in J-17 I loved it you would get a novel included once a year.
I was embarrassingly into the Diary of a Crush story and so excited by the novel! Haha...I'd completely forgotten about that.

Hey Arnold - move it football head!
Diggit on a Saturday morning followed by SMTV life, preferably accompanied by a bowl of coco pops
Spending my pocket money on Mizz, Smash Hits and TV Hits (and covering my walls with posters a first Spice Girls and then S Club / Blue / Steps and BWitched). Then getting far too sassy for my age and upgrading to Bliss, Sugar and J-17.
UFO yoghurts
Sunny Delight and the rumours of the kid that turned orange because he had it every day
10p Ice poles in the summer and evenings that felt warm until 10pm when you finally had to go in.
MSN Messenger every day after school and pretending I was doing homework every time my mum came in to my room to ask if she could use the phone line yet
Changing your screen name on MSN to include your current bestie / crush / philosophical song lyric
Bebo
Limewire and the first ever iPod mini
Jelly shoes - I had silver glitter wedges and they were my favourite thing ever
Shopping in Tammy Girl and my Mum telling me things were “too old” for me
Wishing away the years until I was old enough to shop in River Island. At 29 I now often feel too old!
Playing snake
Flipping a phone shut
An actual bus pass not an Oyster card (and my first ever solo bus journey to secondary school costing 40p!)
Cutting messages down to text speak to save spending 10p on going in to two messages
Buying a book that taught me how to compose ringtones and really really caring.
Buying ringtones / pranks from those ads in magazines - £3 for the latest N Dubz song to play every time your phone rang was a bargain.
Push pops and other cheap sherbet sweets (those coloured sticks of them that were like 2p each)
Talking about the cost of anything in pence
Wishing time away until my next milestone birthday..... 10, then 13, then 15 (no idea why), 16, 17, 18, 20, 21.... now 30 is approaching I’m clawing on to the time left of my 20s!
ALL OF THIS

Anything from the 90’s gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings.

sometimes i really want to decorate my house in the 90’s style so i can get that cosey home

Going to the library,renting a vhs, visiting cousins as a kid. We’ve all got so busy now.
 
I watch a lot of old TV shows, I have a collection of DVD's of stuff most of you haven't heard off.

I also watch repeats of old shows being shown on various satellite channels, best of all is watching those shows which are not politically correct, I live for nostalgia.

That is the only way my hair will go curly. People were surprised how straight it was when I stopped doing it.
Then when ghd/ ceramic straighteners came out early 2000s and everyone had the super straightened look.



Sometimes I just get a feeling of nostalgia and I can't explain it, it's usually come from a smell or a sound . Smells bring back the most memories
 
I have been extremely nostalgic the past couple of years. And I always get a nostalgia hit when I watch the scene in Love Actually where you see Mia's bedroom with the lilac and silver - my bedroom at home was very similar!

I loved Sugar magazine, Bliss, Smash Hits. The free gifts from Sugar were the best!

Ah I was scrolling through Netflix children the other day and there was a Polly Pocket TV show! I used to love Polly Pocket

Rugrats - my favourite thing when I was a kid! One of the movies will just randomly be on on a weekend on either e4 or Film 4 and I always watch them 😂
