Grans - what advice would you give to your teenage self?

Do not be pushed into a rubbish job and use contraception (see post on when is the ideal to tell mum you are pregnant !!!)

When you're thinking of marrying someone, ask yourself if you'll want him to be grandfather to your grandchildren.

To be fair to my parents, they did not make me leave school, they just said I could do what I liked. I was 15 when I did my 'O' levels - what I liked was buying records and make-up and going out with boys. There was no history of higher education in the family and my mother thought I had really made it when I started work as a secretary. Everyone else had worked in a factory.

Lucid I second what nannaAnna said. You are lovely, hold your head up high XX
