    Bringing our two pet lambs home in the back of my fathers big blue corolla estate, they were in the boot and we were in the back seat, turned towards the boot on our knees, I would have been two, I also remember giving up my bottle the same day as I and to give it to the lambs so we could feed them.

    My sister being born. I was 2 and thought I was getting a new friend , that would be my age etc. and be fun to play with. Instead I got a very boring sleeping thing in a plastic box (incubator). I then proceeded to try wake her up and when that failed I climbed under the hospital bed my mother was in and wreaked havoc on the ward ! :P I also remember this was the first time I ever dressed myself . I was wearing wellies , dungarees , pyjamas and shorts !! :L

    Calling for my big brother who must have been ten or eleven to help me out of my cot... I have no idea what age I was only that I couldn't walk yet and crawled everywhere on my bum.

    I also remember my first Christmas, so maybe 9 months, I got pine needles that fell off the live tree my mother insisted on stuck in my hands, that was the last time we ever got a live tree, I remember my dad who is a huge tough man crying as he tried to tweezer them out.

    I remember seeing snow and mum wrapping me up in a red snowsuit to go out to play and her warning me not to go to far from the back door or I mite not be found again coz the snow was so high. She hated the Artic winters of Canada. I would only have turned 2 that Sept.

    I think i was around 3. Cousins owned a few horses back in the day. All i remember is being beside the horse and looking up with my mouth open at amazement at how big it was.

    I think I was about five years of age.

    I was in hospital and was very, very ill and sore. My Mother and Grandmother were standing over me. my Grandmother was smiling, and my mother was trying to hand me a toy car, in an attempt to console me.

    I was very sore and scaldy, so I was lashing out at them both - particularly my Grandmother.

    Sadly, my Grandmother died shortly after that. So, her last memory of me, and my last memory of her is of me being a bold little c*nt. That upsets me to this day. :(

    My mam telling me I'd have a little brother or sister...I was probably around two or so, considering my sister was born when I was two and a half.

    I remember being given a bath in the sink, I must have been about two and a half. I have other memories of the first house I lived in and I moved when I was 3.

    My first memory is being in the back kitchen of my grandparents house and my grandad walking in after being on the farm and I thought he was an absolute giant of a figure. He died about a year later and I would've only being three at the funeral. I remember the funeral well to this day. It was the biggest gathering of people I had seen up to that point in my life and me and the cousin's were up in the parlour playing together while Grandad reposed in the sitting room. It's amazing how things like that stick in your memory forever.

    My earliest memory.......touching my moms vagina.
















    I was a natural birth, not a C-Section.

    Call bull**** all you want, but here we go:

    I had a minor case of jaundice after birth, and i was put into some form of "blue light box" (baby sized sunbed maybe?).

    My first memory of life is being in this plastic box with holes and lids and crap all over it, blue light and humming everywhere and being confused as hell.

    After that, there is a small gap untill the memory of me in this thing: http://www.thebarnstorming.com/more_toys/100_8157-thumb.jpg

    That pics not me by the way.

    Holiday in blackpool with my Mam, Dad, and sister. We stayed in a B&B over a spar shop, we got 10% discount on stuff in the spar shop and we got our dinners made for us every night. I liked the hotpot. We got foam cowboy hats and we went to Mr. Peabody's and I burned my elbows on the freefall because I didn't cross my arms. I had to sit with my elbows in ice. We went to see Brian Connolly in the Winter Gardens but he was cancelled. We went to a variety show and my Dad had a pitcher of beer and a lady had a sword put through her - apparently Bradley Walsh was the presenter or whatever you call it.

    I was 3!

    On a ferry half way between England and Belgium with everyone getting sick from the choppy sea conditions. I was calm as hell drinking orange juice.
