Beauty For Ashes: Time warp!!!

I watched a show on Sunday night that I really enjoyed and it has cause me to do a lot of reflecting and reminiscing. It was called electric dreams and a modern family in Britain agreed to take part in a social experiment where their whole house was transformed back to 1970. No microwave, vcr, mobiles, computers, not even a freezer to start with. They did it for 10 days and each day would tick over the next year where any new inventions could be given to them. I wish I had've taped it cause I would've loved to have shown Jaden what life was like when I was really little.

Next Sunday they're gonna be in the 80's so I am taping that one cause it's more my era anyway and we're going to do a project on how much life has changed. I was chatting to Jaden about my childhood and he can't fathom a world where I couldn't watch videos, we didn't get a VCR till I was 12. We didn't even have a hot tap in the kitchen so he thinks I grew up in the dark ages LOL. So next week he's going to interview me and Brett and also our parents and then we're gonna try and find old pictures and do a time warp project. We've just been doing 'boring' maths and english bookwork so far this term since I've been so tired so Jaden is looking forward to something a little different!!!

So these are some pics of my life in the 70's (which isn't a lot since I was only born in 1975). The top pic is me with my mum, my aunty (I forgot she actually has brown hair, been blonde for years) and some random boyfriend of my aunty's I think, complete with long hair and cigarette!! I'm loving the stunning decor of green couch, curtains and carpet :-)

This is me and my grandma in her lovely orange suit.

I'm 11 months old here, don't think this wooden contraption would meet safety standards anymore and I'm loving the wooden kitchen cupboard behind me for 70's style.

christmas 1976, I look like a little nurse or something in that silly scarf, I'm sure it was very fashionable LOL

This is my 3rd birthday April 1978, with mum, grandma (love the brown suit!), aunty Carol (I am named Carolyn after her) and my cousin Zac.

This is the same day, hanging out in the loungeroom, with all that green and brown, and our high tech stereo to the side there, which was our record player. I used to have a box of little golden books on record that I thought were fantastic!!!!!

My 4th birthday 1979 (I'm the one in the denim overalls). I used to think this was the most massive backyard in the world, if I saw it today I'd probably think it shrunk LOL
