    It was Christmas eve and I was about 2! My mother came into the living room and my brither and sister was having a fight. She then got into a really bad mood went up into the attic got the boxes for the x-mas decorations. She then took down all the decorations. We didn't have Christmas. It's actually true!:(

    First memory would be of the hurling team my Dad played for winning a big match, which I think was a county final.

    They were presented with a huge cup, and I distinctly remember being put inside the cup and carried around the pub by my Dad and my uncle (who was also on the team). It was in 1980, so I would have been 2.........

    I remember pulling a box of my nappies out of the kitchen press. Dunno how old i was but i was under 2 anyway.

    I also remember being in playschool and they were trying to make me eat rice pudding,which i hated, so i jumped on a police trike and tried to escape. They caught me though :(
    I was about 3 then, that's one of my 1st vivid memories.

    I can remember as far back as when I was 6 weeks old the time of my Christening. I remember a photo being taken of me and was looking at my hand. Anything else was running after a pet dog I had when I were 2.
