	lol at you two... I was married, but not allowed into a pub.... I went to my first nightclub when I was 29, lol.... and was asked to prove my age, .... my older son was in senior school!! I pointed to my mum, and said... that's my mum, she'll tell you how old I am.... and he didn't believe she was old enough to be in there either, lol... It was quite dark, and my mother remembers that very fondly... it was my future SiL's hen night.... there is sooooo much more to tell... Oh What a Night!! Love Daff xxx

	Daff, I remember wearing a dress in primary school that had bat wings. just didn't realise it till now. I loved that dress. Wore it till it fell off me. :-) Hayley, So you've never been back? Once was enough? xx I made a mistake...just realised what you mean by bat wings. That dress was different altogether. It was 70's style. Now i understand..I'm a bit slow tonight.
