Do you “have a decade”

The 1980's. We got married and had our boys. The music was great and is still my favourite decade for music.

Has to be the 60s for me, great music with lyrics you could hear, mini skirts, sloppy joes ( for those that dont know a very baggy jumper) everything was just great way back then.

Has anyone seen the documentary about The Hollies. Sixties pop scene and so nostalgic?

I had no idea that when I wear my baggy jumper I'm wearing a sloppy joe Calmlocket.

Not really Maw although I look back with fondness at some times. Looking through old photographs months ago with our eldest daughter b.1978 she said, looking at all the browns, creams and oranges they were wearing ‘oh god mum why on earth did you ever let us out of the house wearing these awful clothes?’
??

The 60s for me. I was tall, slim, just the right shape for mini skirts and 60s fashion, The Beatles, and the whole pop scene, Mary Quant, Twiggy. However, 70s too as I had my daughter in 1970 and obviously that was wonderful. I also loved the fashions in that decade too.

Actually I still have and use every day the table we bought in 1974 Maw. Here it is. Had it French polished once is all. To think that same daughter who I mentioned up thread sat at it playing with her doll’s house at 4y old. (She scratched it by accident, but hey ho, furniture is meant to be used and people’s feelings are more important than ‘stuff’).

For me the seventies. I had a Saturday job in a boutique, loved the fashions, especially Mary Quant. I was a size ten, with good legs. It was downhill after that!

I got engaged, graduated from university, got married and had my first child.
What's not to like about it.

60s for me too!
Sloppy joes , stretchy white knee boots, mini skirts and red crushed velvet bell bottomed trousers! Very happy days .

That is very nice * Urmstongran* !

The 60s for me. Mini skirts (I was a size 10 and had the legs, something’s gone wrong there?), Mary Quant tights and makeup (couldn’t afford the clothes), the wonderful music from all the groups back then, first boyfriend. Then I married in 1970 and straight away discovered abuse so my life kind of stopped for a long while. Not surprisingly the only thing I have from my post-1970 life is my wonderful son.

Oh GSM that’s a poignant read. ?

I was married in the 80’s and my house which we decorated at that time is a pine furniture/interior nightmare as that was what was fashionable then and it lasts and lasts! My taste is more contemporary (greys/silver/) but my budget and interest in change and disruption isn’t!

Most certainly the 1960’s!!! I left school and had a part time job serving fuel at my dad’s garage. Started a 2 year secretarial course. First boyfriend and the best era ever for music!!!

Boz I have The Hollies ‘All I need is the air that I breathe’ going round and round in my head. Loved the sixties. I was at art school. Folk clubs, jazz clubs , great times

Thanks Urms. Eventually he left after over 20 years and I then met and married someone else so life started again but there are decades which I’ve basically blotted out. Never mind, life is good now but how I was so blind before I first married, and how someone can keep their true nature so well hidden I will never know. But of course in those days we didn’t usually live together before we were married (well not where I lived anyway, it was called living in sin). And divorce was still frowned upon so leaving didn’t feel like an option. Thank goodness times have changed!
Thanks for the ?!
Sorry for going off post everyone.

I feel that the 1960s was full of hope and the music and fashions were very much to my taste though I was just that little bit too young to be a hippy. The Laura Ashley fashions in clothes and decor of the 1970s were lovely and very flattering.

Long and Winding road does it for me! Wonderful song.
Loved the Everly Brothers too. Loved my white plastic boots and mini-dresses and my Mary Quant bob which, incidentally is the hairstyle I have to-day. It all come around.

60s for me. The Beatles. The Stones. Gerry and the Pacemakers and so many more. I was young and wore my mini skirt and white boots with pride. I was very slim then.
I met and married my husband and had my first son in that decade. Everything was exciting then.

I saw the title as asking if we thought we had a decade ahead of us. Ha ha. If today is anything to go by am not sure.

Suppose the 60 s were most fun, fashions , music, all very exciting but after marrying at the end of the 60s life changed and we quickly settled down to saving ard fir a deposit on a house.
In 1970 we treated ourselves to a short caravan break. We were on the ferry going to the Isle of Wight and were surprised it was full of young hippy types. We didn’t even know about the festival taking place headlining Bob Dylan. Old before our time.

The 60s. Largely for the music. And I had the legs and figure for mini skirts, not that I’d ever wear them again even if I was still a size 10.
Must say I really did not care for all that orange and brown decor in the 70s. I still find it pretty hideous.

Your first sentence really made me laugh *silverlining!’!

The 60's for me, worked in London surrounded by all the fashion and clubs, got married and had eldest DD.
Amazed you bought your pottery teaset in an antiques shop MayBeMaw I have cupboards full of that design in the other colour way. I loved it then and it is in daily use now.

I agree about the 60's being exciting and everything changing, though it was the mddle/end before I could really branch out. How we loved those mini skirts and tights, a long way from our parents with girdles and stockings. I remembe a white mini skirt and matching boots which looked great with my thin legs (or so I thought). How times have changed.
