5th February 1979

Monday 5
College at 9.00
Fi = Tony R for defo
Came home at 3.00 cos I didn't feel too grand
Phoned Sam he has a prospectus from Blackpool college
Bought his Valentines card
Made a sun dress (I remember this dress I made it out of some material Kate's dad found in his mums house. It was green with small flowers on. The dress had shoe string shoulder straps..... it was bloody awful !! lol)


I was going to do a 1970s exercise type post tonight as yours truly is on an exercise kick just now, loads of walking and pilates (I am sure the teacher is trying to kill me!!) Alas & rather surprisingly I couldn't find much in my source material. In fact only this image. An easy but effective way to tackle 'Bingo Wings'. It's a good one and relevant to today with the amount of time we generally spend sat at a PC

So instead I have picked some random stuff that are classics from the 70s

I had both the bracelet and necklace which were made out of some cheap metal which bent out of shape if you forgot to take them off in bed

Love the last line of this ad!
When is thong not a thong? When it was the 70s!

I so wanted one of these!!!

And the youth of today think that Txt/MSN spk is nu.....gr8 twas ere int 70s but we hd to rite it long hnd wit a pen (just my type of shorthand lol)

You just wouldn't wear this would you? It looks like a breast plate for a suit of armour. Now bias binding is something I have not seen in years, I recall spending hours hand sewing that stuff on the raw edges of material !!!!
