Thirty years ago today Mum took this photo of me sitting on their bed. They'd had the bedspread and lamps since they moved into the house in 1972, so what, eighteen years. They donated them to the Nyngan flood relief cause.
So the lamps and bedspread went to that. The print above the bed they kept for another seventeen years. I gave it away on Freecycle for them in February 2007. The bed head Mum still has, although to give herself a bit of extra space in her bedroom, she got a single bed and got the bed head cut down to work with a single bed. The funky looking phone was an old rotary dial phone we had for years. I probably used it the most, talking to my first boyfriend in 1991/1992. Mum may still have that jumper.

Yes I still have the jumper and I still wear it. I think it is cute! Didn't realise that it was 30 years old. Good quality - they don't make that sort of quality these days.
