..........what illusions did you have when young that have been shattered by age and experience?

Sue xx

Or conversely......what did you once believe in that time has not changed?

I realised quite a while ago that I was never going to marry George Michael :0)

Soooooo many...I believed that fate would step in and sort things out and that things were *meant* to happen, I believed that weight gain in my early thirties was temporary and my metabolism would kick in at some point, I never thought I would say things like "I'd like to be eighteen and know then what I know now" etc

But, I still believe that all you need is love and the best things in life are free....slightly sick making but true:)

Uggers my love - I agree. I also still believe that love is all important and money can't buy happiness and contentment, love or true freedom.

I also now believe that not all people are good - I once thought they were. And remember Roger Whittaker's song "I don't believe in if anymore" - well I don't.

Muffy you can still dream. Between the two of us we may be able to convince him that he's going through a silly phase:))

I watched Juke Box Jury on TV and knew I wanted to be a singer
never thought you at to sing in tune I just thought it would be so easy
went to join a choir told you have a powerful voice but sorry no
then I found out I was tone deaf
yes I do feel sorry for singers on X factor you just think you sound brilliant then realise no one else can bear hearing you sing

Mabel I would love to be able to sing too. But I was disillusioned long ago when I realised that only I thought I was any good.

I used to believe if you were a good person only good things would happen to you, I now know thats not true.

Unfortunately not, Jax.

Suemaid I am glad I am not the only one

Used to believe my mum when she told me if l ate my greens l would have curly hair, well l'm still eating my greens and still have straight hair, lol.

i was devestated to learn father christmas wasnt real lmaoooooo

Mummo,it was eat your crusts with me....................................and no,it didnt work either
lol

I believed, as all children do, that adults have all the answers; and one day I would have them too. Of course, I now know, and have done for a long time, that not only do I not know the answers; but that half the time I do not have the right questions either.

It's also quite disconcerting when you find out that doctors are winging it most of the time as well.

Oh Stray, he is real, isn't he !!!!!!!!!!!!
Mo, l would have done anything to have a few curls.............one year l was going to my Dads Christmas works party and my Mum put curlers in my hair l was so happy when she took them out and l had some curls..........then she brushed my hair and the curls went oh did l cry, lol.

he was till i had children lol

i wish he was how much would we save lol

When I got married I had my hair done like Lulu,high on top and with flick-ups
By the time I got there it was dead straight again
What a waste of time
lol

When I was a child I believed that it would be wonderful to be an adult. I would be able to do anything I wanted and no-one could tell me what to do. I've known for a long time being an adult wasn't all it was cracked up to be. You have more restrictions and more responsibilities as an adult than you ever have as a child.

yeah sue ya couldnt wait to grow up
life as a grown up was sooooooooooooo easy


if only i could be a child again hahaha

Stray,am so upset to hear that Father Christmas is not real
lol
