advice to your younger self

I would tell me to clear the family computers history every day between the ages of 14 and 18.

Actually, might be better just to set the CPU on fire.

I'd tell him not to trust the crazy white haired dude with the DeLorean and give him a sports almanac.

Keep those transformers and other such action figures in their boxes . Other geekish folks might pay good money one day

Regardless of what anyone says everything is about money other than those closest to you.

Nine is too young, all I would think is that some creepy guy who looked a bit like my Dad was telling me a load of Scary stuff. I'd wait until I was a teenager and then give me the lowdown. But mostly I would bring back the lottery numbers for several draws and warn me solemnly to make sure I buy the ticket.

Then I'd return to my time a rich man.

On the other hand, maybe I'd tell him nothing. I have two little boys of my own now. I wouldn't want them to never have existed. Except that I might have given him last Tuesday's Eurolotto results and the horse racing results for yesterday.

• Enjoy school, but don't be the class dosser.
• Try to understand your parents, someday you will get some of what they were trying to do.
• Explore the world, every chance you get.
• Stop trying to impress others, people like you for who you really are, if they don't, they are not your friends.
• If you feel like you need a piss after you have gone to bed, get up and do it.. it won't go away.
• Family are important.
• If you are good at something you enjoy, keep at it, someday you might make a living out of it.
• Tell your mum you love her.
• Don't do what you think is expected, do what you think is right.
• Bro. David the headmaster is, and always was a dick.. Show him no respect.
• Avoid physical confrontation, but if needed, defend yourself with force.

What advice would you give your younger self?

go out with some of the less attractive girls in first & second year in secondary school that you turned down, they turn out to be quite good looking by 4/5th year and onwards

"Chill. It's gonna be grand."

Well those two years made you who you are today. Sounds like utter bullsh*t but when you've been through alot of crap you eventually find a silver lining!

Don't waste your time trying to make certain friends that you think are cool, (they will only use you at every opportunity).

Spend more time with your parents, they died way too young.

Otherwise, you have a great life, travelled the world, wonderful husband and 3 great kids, enjoy it ;-))

The Big Red Button

- Your instincts are usually right - have more faith in them!
- Be single as much as possible.
- SAVE. Get into the habit as young as possible.
- Don't beat yourself up for f*cking up the odd time. But do make sure to learn from your mistakes.
- Prioritise your health.
- Choose your battles wisely. Don't stress about the little things.
- Say "yes" more.
- It's never too late to start over.

Take the red pill and the blue pill. Take all the pills, oh and if you see a pretty lady with an Adams apple, stay well clear. It'll end badly for you.

Dump her now before you waste the next 3 years of your life.

Do not go near hot culinary devices ever, ie saucepans, microwaves - you have an uncanny ability at burning yourself everytime.

I'd say "Beware of a girl with the initials AMC, she's a jealous possessive psychotic nymphomaniac that will waste 3 yrs of your life. Ride her a few times and tell all your friends about her and you'll discover they all rode her too. She might come across as an innocent little virgin, she's not, she's fúcking MENTAL...dump her!!!!"

To 16 yr old self
That new girl who joined your group will split ye all up, she is an evil bitch.
Do not believe that just because people are nice to your face that they are not rotten behind your back
You have a fantastic figure now and you will have till your mid twenties dont put on that extra stone, it wont suit you and will be a nightmare to get rid of
