I though I was well off and ancient all at once. I had just bought my first flat at 21 and was decorating it with my Dad. The little boys across the landing came to my door for Halloween. I had nothing in the house and as I was in the middle of wallpapering the livingroom, I had two pound coins and gave them one each as I had no other change ... the little boys were overjoyed to have such riches and not knowing my name, in best Scots patter said "Awh, thanks very much Missus". As I closed the door my face must have been a picture, my Dad laughted for half an hour because I was so horrified that as well as now being a home ower, I was a Missus!!!

And my shower room was an awful pink toilet and sink with a turquoise shower cubical! If that wasn't bad enough the house we moved into when we got married then had the avacado suite with daisy tiles in avacado with bamboo edging!!!!! We changed it to white!
