Re: Earliest memory

I think mine was the Queens Silver Jubilee in 1977,so I wouldn't have even been 3 years of age, but I've posted on that before, either that or my brothers and thier friends playing football, on the flat roof of the "coal house" . a Lad called Paul was in goal, not looking behind him, stepped straight off and knocked himself out cold, I was terrified as I thought he was dead!

Re: Earliest memory

I can remember being at the house I first lived in and my sister cooking me eggy bread. We moved from there when she about 11 so it would have been before then.. she is 8 years older than me so I was about 3 or 4. She makes the best eggy bread in the world btw!

Re: Earliest memory

Mine is actually from the late 60s...
It was April 1967. I was 13 months old, and was given a kitten - it was a late birthday present. No-one would let me pick the kitten up, and I tried to tell them I wouldn't hurt her, but they couldn't understand what I was trying to say. My brother Alan was walking around, which is the only memory I have of him while he was able to walk, he had muscular dystrophy, and was in a wheelchair by the end of '67. I also have a few memories from the end of that year, when the same kitten, having grown up a bit, produced kittens of her own! My mum put the playpen around them, so that I couldn't get at them, but I could look at them through the bars.

Re: Earliest memory

My earliest memory is coming out of the hospital following an operation for appendicitis at the age of two. I was dressed in pink leggings, pink coat and a bonnet to match trimmed with burgundy velvet.

It was a great treat in those days to ride in a taxi and my mum hadcome to collect me in one. I went to get in the back and jumped back in fright !! There was someone inside ! Mum had neglected to tell me that one of our neighbours had begged that her small son be allowed to come along for the ride......

Re: Earliest memory

I can remember being in my mums tummy!

Dont believe me??

Ask joybee...shes my mum

I can remember being in mums tum with another little boy...

when i was three or four i asked mum about it and as i remember after a few questions from her the subject was dropped.

Years later when i was older the subject arose again and i was told that during the pregnancy with me , mum suffered a bleed and thought she was going to loose me...turns out she didnt cuz im here....but ill bet you a million pound that the "other little boy" will be there to meet me at the pearly gates!

Re: Earliest memory

I think my earliest memory may be going up a flight of stairs to go to a Play group/Mums & Tots in the Old Public Library.I can visualize it now as I sit here typing climbing the steps,remembering now how big they were..

So steep..............

Re: Earliest memory

Yep, I went back to my primary school many years ago, (I was there 72-76)
the chairs,stairs,EVERYTHING, were just tiny!, but I still remember them as huge or normal size

Re: Earliest memory

My earliest memories are being weighed at the hospital for a routine check up and farting in the Nurses face when she lifted me out of the scales . The scales were stainless steel and had that thick green paper, (the type you get from a dispenser in a toilet nowadays to wipe your hands dry), lining it. My mum recounted the bit about the farting-and yes apparently it stunk and apparently my own fart frightened me and I started crying.....I don't get frightened by my farts now I hasten to add.....!

My other earliest memory has to be being breast fed and not liking it. I would turn my head away.
