I went through a naughty stage. I ended up with the wrong crowd and got caught taking drugs in school (cannabis) at 14!. I felt terrible and was quite good after that (although I did smoke).

At least we got it out of our systems  - hey Madz!

I am sure I will go through the same nightmares with my two lads as my parents did with my sister and I.

Bad karma and all that!

I was a horrible teenager from the age of about 14 and I really regret what I put my mum thro.  I smoked, drunk, took some drugs (tho mum didnt know that bit) and after I left school often stayed out all night.  I left home at 16/17 and had a flat for about 6 months, but had to crawl home with the tail between my legs cos could only get a winter let.

Here I am now sahm with 3 kids, mortgage and 2nd relationship!  All the things I said I would never do cos was gonna be a career woman.  I dont smoke, certainly dont do drugs, drink occasionally(more often would be nice tho! lol) and am very much a good girl .  My only real vice now is chocolate!!

I did go out to clubs at 16 and come in drunk as drunk can be!   Once I came in my change fell out my bag and I went to pick it up and I fell down in front of my Dad "Have u been drinking Lorna? " , "HAHAAHHA, noooooo dad!!! "

Although by the time I was 17, I was at college and I would tell my parents if I was going out to a club or something.  They were fine with it!  I was mature for my age.

I was like Jopsy too, my hair was red, black with blue tips, purple....

I felt I was a good girl at school coz my best mate was headmasters daughter and we were the goody goody girls with the best grades as we swatted up too!!

i had my first ciggy at 14 but then quit and started when i was 16 .

i used to hang around down the local park with my friends and sometimes we would have the odd bottle of cider,

i was always allowed out till about 10ish so i was always in on time...

i remember once

my friend was bragging about a lad she had snogged and said that she loves the way he blows the ash off his cig (in stead of flicking it) well she lit up a cig to show me how its done and about 3 mins later i said omg i can smell burning (we were in her bedroom sat on her bed) well we pulled the bed from the side of the wall and her matress was on fire. i nearly sh*t myself  we were lucky that she only burnt a hole about 3 inches long.

i told her not to tell her mum and dad cos she will be in real trouble. this is what she told them.....

mum she said me and gem were sitting on my bed when i decided to change the quilt cover when i pulled the bed from the walll i noticed there was a real big burn in my matress her mum said oh let me see so up stairs we went and she showed her mum. her mum said why is it wet and tess said well i was worried it will catch alight again so i wet it incase!!!!!

well there you go her mum went crazy  hehethat was my mate tho and not me.

we still laugh about it now.
