Wonderful! Several of these would be on my list of highlights too. I wouldn't include meeting your husband though, I haven't done that :-) x
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of list - Sooty and Sweep (did you ever see my photo on blog of me meeting Sooty?), original Live Aid, all of those perfumes!
ReplyDeleteWill now have a look at your first 20.
Aww congrats on the big 4 0 - this list brought back lots of memories especially the Kylie & Jason wedding - love that song x x
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of this - is it a 'thing' or your own creation? I think I would have anumber of these on my list too (but I have another couple of years to go - ha! :P)
ReplyDeleteI'm not far behind you (37 this year) so I share of lot of your list and it's great it's complete - really enjoyed reading it x
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm so with you on Scott and Charlenes wedding - I've still got it recorded on VHS up in the loft somewhere. I still remember the night before the wedding in the show where Scott give Charlene a glass slipper thing I think and he says *adopts Aussy accent* "I love you heaps Charlene". All together now 'awwwwww'!
ReplyDeleteAh great list and a lot of share memories, sadly none in Oz though. I'm 40 in December I might copy and do a similar list - if I can remember that is.
ReplyDeleteWow Diamond White I had a few nasty nights/ hangovers on that stuff!! And the clowns too just great.....unfortunately I remember all of your list:(
ReplyDeletescot and charlenes wedding, ahhh memories

Well as someone well past 40 *ahem* I would still absolutely have Afflecks Palace, The Hacienda (still have my membership card) and The London Marathon on my list. Great memories x
ReplyDeleteI Nominated you for a Kreative blog award so pop over to mine to see what to do x http://workingmumof4.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on most of those... although your clubbing scene looks alot more cool than mine! What will be the big memories of the next ten?? Here's hoping its not Jedward, recession and Lady Gaga!
ReplyDeleteI loved Scott and Charlene's wedding, I know most of the words of Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing.Have blocked the taste of diamond white and taboo out of my mind although they were a favourite at some point (too much of a good thing lol).
