Most of us, if not all of us have a bank account, a debit card and/or a credit card. It’s something we all have in common, and it can be a point of contention for a lot of people. Finding a bank these days that values you as a customer and doesn’t take advantage of you seems to be impossible. As you can imagine, banks have a lot of ways to keep you under their control and they have a few tricks up their sleeves to make sure you can’t leave without a fight. Banks also have a number of…

No matter how prim and proper you are in a relationship to start with, it will always deteriorate to the point where you’re comfortable sharing bath water or comparing farts. It happens when you’ve moved past the honeymoon phase of making an effort to impress each other to a phase where you realise the other person isn’t going anywhere any time soon. The relationship opens up for better or worse. You both become comfortable enough to stop trying to be perfect and the hidden gross stuff finally starts coming out. Usually though, it’s all OK because you love each other.…

Although it may be easy and convenient, everyone knows that shopping online carries many risks. Your order could turn up looking nothing like the picture, damaged, weeks late or it just may never arrive. Online shopping has exploded in recent years, but you could be left with a lighter wallet and a product you never asked for. Teens around the world have been posting hilarious pictures of prom dresses they’ve ordered online, compared with what actually arrived. Just imagine being left with one of these dresses days before your prom. At least most of the following girls managed to find…

Many celebrities and pop stars have passed away far too soon. This is often due to an escalation of intensity in their hedonistic and high-risk lifestyles culminating in an early death. So many of our favourite artists have followed this path, their star shining so brightly before burning out. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin are high profile examples of this and there are sadly many more. I can’t help but wonder how they’d look today if they were still with us. In a tribute to these fallen legends, a gallery of photos showing what they’d look…

Going to the cinema is supposed to be a full experience. But, with the movie you get a side of screaming kids and rustling popcorn. There are a lot of things that go down at a movie theatre, but this list will truly unveil some of the bizarre secrets the staff don’t want you to know. Enjoy! 1. The popcorn is not fresh – like you’re made to believe In fact, the popcorn you eat the cinema can even be up to two days old. You do not pay this much for a tub of this to be given two-day…

The Different Types Of Sex Orientation – How Many Do You Know?! When most people think about the types of sex orientation you’re most likely to think of straight people or the LGBT community. That’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (but that’s to do with gender identity, not sexual orientation). But sexual orientation is complex and ever-evolving. This is the latest terminology: [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_qw1q”] Demisexual Demisexual refers to people who don’t have a sexual connection or attraction to someone until they feel like a romantic connection with them. So before they feel that sudden spark they need to become friends with…

Grey’s Anatomy Real Life Couples: Who Is Dating Who? We’ve all followed the cast‘s love lives on the show, but we just want to know who the Grey’s Anatomy couples are in real life! From episode one we were all absolutely hooked with the life of Meredith Grey and everyone around her – especially McDreamy *sigh*. Whilst this was known as a medical drama, you can quite easily place it in the ‘romantic drama’ category just as easily with so many love stories occurring throughout the whole of this programme. But, that didn’t mean that these actors and actresses didn’t have…

Big Brother Contestants: What They Look Like Now! We know we’re always in for a ride the moment the dramatic, large- than-life Big Brother contestants come bombarding through the Big Brother house doors! Ah reality TV, it’s like chocolate; we know we shouldn’t have it but we just can’t seem to get enough! Some people will do anything to get their hands on that whopping £50,000 cash prize… Stars who went on to win the show have included Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, Isabelle Warburton, Kate Lawler and Luke Anderson. Winning Big Brother isn’t always needed to bring fame, you…

Here’s who your favourite TV presenters have dated in the past… 1. Holly Willoughby. Apparently, Holly had a bit of a fling with TV presenter Jake Humphrey. [dx_pb_tag_manager] Jake Humphrey. Holly lived with Jake for a short while when she was working for CBBC. 2. Alex Jones. The One Show’s Alex Jones da [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_qQCt”] Matt Johnson. ‘We were together for nearly six years and for four of those I was in the midst of this darkness. It put pressure on us. I felt I was holding her back.’ 

We love to keep up to date with who’s in a relationship with who. But, it gets even better when two celebs get together – which happens quite often if you think about it. A lot of people who aren’t in the limelight struggle to be with someone who is and that is the main reason celebs couple up. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_ZIkz”] So, here are some of our fave soap stars and some of the people they once shared love for. Some of these are quite shocking!!! 1. Gemma Atkinson [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_qw1q”] Gemma Atkinson has been a household name for so…

1. United We all remember these chocolate bars from when we were younger. There was nothing more delicious than tucking into one of these. These were definitely made for football fans! They need to bring all the old chocolate bars back! 2. 54321 The one great thing about this chocolate bar was the advert that came alongside it. Whenever it came on the telly we could do nothing but sing along with it! I used to annoy my parents all the time by singing along! I can’t believe you used to get 5 bars in one! 3. Trio We can all agree…

She rose to fame during due to her role in the hit TV series, ‘Friends’. Since then, however, she has managed to accomplish much more than that in the movies as she went on to become the ‘it’ girl. She was in many romantic comedies and so we have continued to watch her become the sensation that she is today. Another great thing about Jennifer is that she is absolutely gorgeous and with each passing year, even more so! That’s one reason why she’s still so famous and of course, there are plenty of people who are out to take…

Pictures Of Kris Jenner You Have Never Seen Unseen pictures of the ultimate Kardashian (Kris Jenner)- one of the most influential women in the world, and the ultimate ‘momager’? – Yes please… Between them all they they’ve had just enough drama to last a lifetime, but somehow it just keeps coming (and we’re not complaining), with Kris Jenner – the matriarch and ‘boss lady’ – behind it all. She runs one of the most influential, powerful and wealthiest families of our generation, all whilst still being the Queen she is. This woman doesn’t age? Her, arguably, most successful daughters, Kim…

We have all seen her videos and have witnessed how this young lady has grown into an incredible woman. However, what we don’t always know is how she got there and what she does with her time while she is there! Now it’s time for the very juicy pictures that Swift does not want you to see. Enjoy! 1. When she was young. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_ZIkz”] [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_qw1q”] You may not remember her from way back when but this is how she looked back then.

Everyone knows her as the loud-mouthed Geordie who rose to fame a couple of years ago when she and her family appeared in Channel 4s Gogglebox. Here’s a shocking insight into the life of Moffatt and her struggles after being diagnosed at 11… 1. She HATES some of the other Goggleboxer’s [dx_pb_tag_manager] She’s previously revealed that Steph and Dom were her least favourite Goggleboxers because they don’t like to speak to any of their co-stars and said she used to have to put on subtitles to understand what they were saying. “I think they don’t want to because we’re working class.…

This show has taken the entire world by storm. In fact, we are absolutely obsessed and no one can wait for the final season. We think we know what’s going to happen but we are sure to be proven wrong because this show does not lack in its surprises. However, when the show is over, these characters cease to be famous and manage to lead lovely lives with their significant others. Of course, we always wonder what their personal lives are like because their characters are so elaborate and different than what real life has to offer. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_ZIkz”] However,…

The X Factor originated in the UK and has now been around for nearly 14 years! If you’re not aware of what The X Factor is, then it is basically a singing competition that was created by Simon Cowell to replace Pop Idol, to try and find the freshest talent in the country. Since the UK version started in 2004, due to its popularity, it has now become a massive franchise with over 50 other countries creating their own version of the programme. 1. Craig Colton. Craig was a biscuit factory worker before he appeared on X Factor back in…

Eastenders’ Nancy Carter Looks VERY Different In Real Life! Most of us look different at work than we do when we are dressed up for a night out and this is no exception for Eastenders’ Nancy Carter. Whether you’re hooked on Eastenders, Coronation Street or Emmerdale, we think we know the people on our television screens inside out. But who are the real people behind the characters? Well if you’ve found yourself googling ‘Nancy Carter Eastenders real life’, then you’re about to get your answer.. With actress Maddy Hill swapping out her tracksuit bottoms and a gold chain, what does…

This Is What The Waterloo Road Cast Look Like Now From Bolton Smilie to Sambuca Kelly, we all fell in love with the Waterloo Road cast… but since graduating the drama-filled school, what’ve they been up to? Sambuca Kelly (Holly Kenny) – THEN Image Source/BBC Sambuca Kelly will always be remembered for featuring in one of the most emotional storylines throughout the whole ten series. We couldn’t believe it when we found out that she had a brain tumour and we will always remember her last scenes. I think we’re all probably still mourning now. Holly Kenny (Sambuca Kelly) -…

1. Adam and Ryan Thomas. Adam and Ryan are better known as Adam Barton (Emmerdale) and Jason Grimshaw (Coronation Street). Ryan is the eldest and starred in Corrie from 2000 to 2016 before going down under to star in Aussie soap Neighbours. Adam’s wife Caroline is pregnant with their second child. They also have another brother who you might recognise from Love Island 2016. Success and good looks run in their family! 2. Jamie Lomas and Charley Webb. We’re used to seeing Jamie Lomas in Hollyoaks and he took part in the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me…

We all used to watch Eastenders when we were growing up. In fact, the majority of us still do today (whether we admit it or not we’re addicted to the drama). With unlimited supplies of tragedy, there hasn’t been a quiet Christmas, Easter or Tuesday afternoon in the square for as long as we can remember. But those familiar faces we’ve grown up with have certainly changed a fair bit over the years – and undoubtedly aged from the stress of living in Albert Square. Here’s what they all look like in real life! Louisa Lytton (Ruby Allen) – Then…

Growing up in the 00s made for a lot of embarrassing moments that we all look back on and think what in the world were we thinking. It’s just like any era really, except that the 00s was a time when technology started taking over everything and we started to forget about certain things. via GIPHY There are some moments of our childhood that we might look back and want to change. Like those awful fashion choices we use to make or some of the friendships we decided to have at the time. But these are the small instances in…

We all know that the best place to go and chill after school was our rooms. Here are 25 things you would have found in every single bedroom in the 00s! 1. Sabrina’s Secrets We all used to collect Sabrina’s Secrets when we were younger. We had to file that we would store them in too! via/Pinterest 2. Dream catcher This definitely made any room ten times better. You would hang this at the end of your bed to apparently get rid of any bad dreams. via/Aliexpress 3. Fairy Lights No room was actually complete without being coated in loads…

The 00s was an amazing time. We saw the introduction of Harry Potter, Busted and Bratz dolls. But, there were also some sad things that happened throughout the 00s… like Sunny D being taken off our shelves and schools banning turkey twizzlers. Amidst all these dramatic changes were all the 00s kids that did some pretty embarrassing things. Below are some of the best memories we all have from the 00s, all the way from the cringe clothes we wore to the posters we all had up in our bedrooms! 1. These t-shirts. For some reason, we had these embarrassing…

We’ve all woken up to an extremely orange version of ourselves. We didn’t seem to realise that less was more when we were younger, so the brighter we were, the better. There were so many times that we would turn up at school on a Friday after caking ourselves with fake tan the night before and we would look like a big orange highlighter walking down the corridors. Back then, everyone was doing it. So nobody really paid attention to one specific person. We all tried to be as tanned, or orange, as we could be! When we look back at pictures…

Daphne Clarke was married to Des in Neighbours and was the first regular character to be written out of the show when she was killed off. Daphne was one of the favourite’s in the show, her bold, brash personality won the viewer’s hearts, so when she was killed off viewers were left heartbroken. She gave up stripping to take over the lease to the local coffee shop and befriended many of the Ramsey Street residents, including Guy Pearce who played teenager Mike Young. Her main storylines include her marriage to Des Clarke with whom she had a son in 1987. She…

Who remembers “Mad Lizzie”, or formally known Lizzie Webb? She presented daily exercise routines on the British morning television channel TV-am. Lizzie was first introduced onto the show after the success of exercise teacher Diana Moran (“the Green Goddess”) on the rival BBC One Show Breakfast Time. Pop Dance days: Lizzie created many videos, such as Pop Dance with Lizzie, Shake-out with Lizzie and much more! She also had a lot of success with her part in the show – Joggy Bear, a children’s television show from the late 1980s to early 1990s. If you didn’t know, Lizzie was married to…

Growing up was a magical time for most children. Those who were born in the 90s were lucky enough to grow up during this era and the early 00s! From Nintendogs to bear shaped ham, there were so many weird and wonderful things to come out of the 90s. Whilst playing with toy dogs and eating ham which looked like a bear’s head might seem pretty odd nowadays, at the time they were the best things ever! Here are 15 things from our childhood that were SUPER cute! Enjoy! 1. Love 2 Love keyring We all used to love this…

You can’t beat a crisp butty, can you! 1. Crisp butty with loads of butter. There’s something about the salty butter mixed with the crisps that just goes so perfectly. The butter makes the barm a bit moister, you’ve just got yourself the perfect sandwich right there. You just can’t beat a crisp butty when there’s sod all in the house to eat and you’re rough as toast. 2. Chips and chip shop curry sauce. Looks like a plate of sloppy shit really but that sloppy shit just tastes so irresistible and glorious. That first chip you put into your…

Here are 30 things you probably didn’t know about your favourite childhood TV show: The western drama series , Little House On The Prairie was easily one of our favourite television shows from when we were younger. We used to watch this ALL the time. But, it feels like a lifetime ago that this was on our televisions! It was so popular in fact that it ran for 9 successful seasons and a film adaption is currently underway at Paramount Pictures. 1. Nellie Oleson wore a wig. And not only did she wear a wig, she started losing her hair…

Cadbury’s is one of the biggest and most popular brands of chocolate in the UK. They’ve made all sorts of different chocolate bars for us over the years but there are some chocolate bars that we might have forgotten about from the 70s and 80s that they just stopped doing! Most of us like taking a trip down memory lane from time to time, and sometimes all it takes is a picture or a quick reminder that takes you straight back to that time in your life when you didn’t have a care in the world. When it comes to…

We all know that being a child of the 90s and 00s was definitely something special and there are certain memories we remember from this time that we wouldn’t change for the world. The 90s and 00s were a time when we used to spend most of our time playing out with our friends on the street, even on the rainiest of days. But there were certain days that we spent inside playing with our toys and watching certain things on TV. Who remembers Bear In The big Blue House and The Real Hustle? These favourites might be featured on…

We can all agree that as kids we really didn’t appreciate the luxuries we had. There was nothing that brought us more joy than playing with toys back in the day. No matter what the toy was, from Stretch Armstrong to Lights Alive, we had endless hours of enjoyment spent alongside all of these toys. It seems strange looking back now at how simple the toys were, it is amazing to think that as young children we could create hours of fun with almost anything… even conkers! We have put together 10 toys which we were all lucky to own…

We all know that being a kid of the 70s and 80s was special with so many of us taking for granted the joys of what life used to be like. Being a child in any decade means not having a care in the world and no responsibilities and these are some of the things we miss the most when we take a trip down memory lane! via GIPHY The difference between todays generation and those people that grew up in the 70s and 80s, is that we didn’t have the luxury of owning a smartphone or a high-tech gaming…

We all know that growing up in the 00s was probably one of the best generations to be born into. It was when technology was seriously developing – and we got to see it all first hand! For people that were born in or around the noughties, they will remember certain things that became a popular trend very quickly and other things that slowly came into existence. Which ever way they ended up become the next big thing, there are definitely things that stayed in the last decade. via GIPHY There were specific games we all played and definitely certain…

Britain in the 1980s was something else. We had some of the best music, fashion and food and people say that Britain changed more in the 80s than any other decade. But what do you remember from being a teenager in such a memorable decade? via GIPHY With todays technology and how much everything has advanced, we start to wonder what we used to do without social media and all that it has to offer to us today! Walking around the streets with a phone that was the size of big bottle of Smirnoff. But that wasn’t all the 80s…

Youngsters watched this show in the late 70s on BBC Two, one evening a week. Even though we had the six million dollar man and multi-coloured swap shop to keep us busy, there was something about this show we absolutely LOVED. Even though the dubbing was quite bad! Here are 9 things you wouldn’t have known about the show! Enjoy 🙂 1. It had a very low budget. Monkey was made with an ensemble cast and on a low budget. Sets were recycled and if you were ever confused by the similarities between supporting characters, it’s because their actors…

From time to time you must admit that you do like to take a look at your horoscope…whether that be once every so often or every day. When we look at our horoscope we’re either left disappointed that none of it matches up or we’re left astonished that everything seems to fit exactly like your horoscope says it would! We shouldn’t take horoscopes too seriously and base our whole lives off them but they are definitely fun to read and get involved in. There is definitely no harm in researching about your specific horoscope and it can be quite interesting…

2016 was a pretty explosive year for the cast of Hollyoaks, what with the return of Amy Barnes and Joe Dexter, and the manhunt (or should we say woman-hunt) for who killed Patrick Blake. Not to mention all the drama within the walls of Hollyoaks High. For a moment lets forget about the present-day drama and have a look back at some of the best-loved characters, and what they are up to nowadays! #1. Hannah Ashworth, Emma Rigby Hannah appeared on our screens back in 2005 as a chubby-cheeked young girl. But this didn’t last long, and she was best known…

We all know that Boots was a hot-spot for all things make-up! There was every brand we could think of – and we LOVED it. If we had a little bit of spare pocket money then we just had to go and splash the cash in Boots. We really had no idea on how to even apply make-up nicely when we were younger, did we? But, that didn’t stop us collecting a ridiculous amount of rubbish. Remember the Dream Matte Mousse? We used to buy this if it was 4 shades darker than our actual skin tone. Apparently, according to…

Before Victoria Secrets sprays became popular, we had Hollister ones. Before we had money to go to the hair dressers to colour our hair, we had those crap home highlighting kits and before we learnt how to do our makeup, we used the cheapest and crappiest makeup we could get our hands on. via GIPHY Growing up in the 00s was a good time because we just missed out on the generation where technology takes over everything. Yes we had consoles and phones that we thought were extremely advanced at the time, but we also made sure we had real…

1. Babycham You couldn’t go to a house party without finding one of these in the cupboards. It was extremely popular back in the day and people would always have some of these around Christmas, it was considered a tradition for a lot of people. 2. Perfumes What was your perfume in the 80s? There were a lot of different popular ones that were extremely popular. We had Exclamation which was one that most of the girls had and everyone ended up smelling the same! Who remembers Poison? It was one of my favourites from the 80s and was strictly…

The 1980s were a pretty special for many people. From the rise in technology to the fall of the Berlin wall, there were many moments which defined this decade. But if you grew up in the 80s, there were things that you will remember that were particularly special – especially if you were a girl! We have put together 12 things which we loved from the 80s. If you were a girl growing up an this time, you are certain to have loved these 12 things! From combs to eyeshadow, do you remember any of these things? 1. Twilight Teaser…

This Is What The Cast Of The Airline TV Show Are Up To Now! We all remember watching the TV show Airline when we were younger. It seriously crushed our dreams of working for an airline crew and travelling the world It just looked purely stressful and less than enjoyable. Despite that, we really did love some of the characters on this show! Who else fancied Leo? Guilty!  Out of all the movies and tv shows to watch, this one forced us to question our behaviour the next time we encountered the check-in assistant at the airport… Some people can…

Exclamation This was such a popular perfume from when we were younger, wasn’t it?! I used to love this as a kid. There was no scent that holds better memories for me than this one! I used to wear this when I went out and would save up all my pocket money to get it because it was so ‘in’. Herbal Essences Every single one of us has washed our hair with Herbal Essences. There is nothing better for your hair than this. The different scents of this were incredible. This was the hair product that topped all hair products…

Here are 11 things that every single girl that grew up in the noughties just HAD to have! Growing up in this era meant that we were obsessed with Spice Girls and doing weird stuff to our hair! But, this is what makes this era so embarrassing. We can all think of some things that we perhaps regret wearing – but no childhood would be a childhood without these embarrassing memories and moments. There are tons of things that all of us needed when we were growing up in the 00’s but we have chosen the 11 things that we…

We can all agree that we were blessed with some of the best foods in the world when we were younger and there are many that we just don’t have at all anymore. Taking a look back at what us kids ate on a regular basis makes us realise how unbalanced and unhealthy our diets were. But none of that matters. We’ve all turned out great and we all agree that turkey twizzlers should never have been taken off the menus at school! Here are 23 foods that will take you on a trip down memory lane and make you…

How much of this food and drink from the 80s do you think you will remember? I think we can all agree that we had some of the best foods available to us when we were younger, didn’t we? Looking back at all this stuff, I can’t believe how cheap everything was compared to nowadays! It is really quite shocking to see how much prices have gone up. But, what is even more shocking is that some of these delicious treats have been sadly taken from our shelves far too soon! They definitely need to bring some of these back! This will…

We’ve all been food shopping, it’s usually most people’s least favourite chore, but it needs to be done. It was always a lot different going shopping with your parents when you were little and having absolutely no worries about what the bill was going to cost. As an adult though, it’s a lot different, you end up checking the price of things and comparing everything to the cheaper versions. Nowadays, we’ve got good old B&M Bargains and Quality Save where you can get bargain bits and bobs for your house or we’ve got ALDI and Lidl for bargain food shops.…

Low Factor Sun Block Factor 4 was considered sun block! If like me you were pale and ginger, you couldn’t get through summer without looking like a lobster half the time. Coppertone wasthe sun cream everyone used to take on their holidays and I’m pretty sure there was 0 sunblock in there. You’d come home red instead of brown… Jumping Off A Rusty Swing Back when kids weren’t wrapped in cotton wool like they are now.

What are your best memories from your childhood? Are they all music related – like your first Vinyl or first concert, or are they favourite films and TV shows? Here are some things you might have forgotten about but as soon as you see them you’ll think ‘how on Earth did I ever forget about that?!’ They might be as simple as household objects but they’ll definitely take you back to your youth. This is the list of very memorable things that we all remember for the 70s & 80s. 1. Blue band margarine The advert for this was so…

1. The Hickeys that Rizzo had on her neck were actually real ones! It was revealed in an interview that Jeff Conaway insisted on giving her real ones! 2. ‘You’re The One That I Want’ only took one afternoon to film! Which was surprising considering how long some of the other songs took and how long the actual song is! I suppose a lot of it is in long segments but it’s still seriously impressive! 3. Grease was actually the highest grossing movie of 1978 It is still a huge hit to this day with its soundtrack and watched…

The 1980s was one of the best periods in British history. It was jam-packed full of incredible TV shows, music and a golden era in sweets and candy bars. It was a bit scary as some points with the Cold War at the centre of most of the news, but it was also one of the happiest times, with the boom in technology meaning people could play video games in their homes, and Micheal Jackson deemed one of the most successful artists of the era. The likes of Micheal Jackson and Madonna dominated the charts along with the like of Whitney…

1. Toastie Maker Remember your mum making you a cheese and ham toastie? There was nothing better than a Saturday or Sunday lunchtime and deciding that you were going to treat yourself to a delicious little toastie. This brings back SO many memories. I remember my brother ALWAYS used to steal half of my toastie whenever I made one. The best thing about the good old toastie maker was that you could basically put any average sandwich in there and it would always turn into the best toastie you’ve ever made! 2. Tupperware Mine had a full set of brown Tupperware.…

Which ones were your favourites? School dinners in the 80s were a grim affair at best. The majority of the time we didn’t even know what we were being served! So instead, most of us found better uses for that £1 note. This usually meant a daily trip to the local newsagents! We spent our time in here and chose wisely with what money we had. Here are 30 items we all bought from the local newsagents after school. Whether this was sweets, or we saved up for a for days for something a little bit more special. 1. Golden Wonder…

For many of us, the 70s and 80s were the best days of our lives. From the years of the perm to the songs of ABBA, these decades were some of the most iconic in history. It is easy to look back on these eras and remember the famous pop stars and the dress codes to come out of them, but do you remember the smaller details of these decades? There were so many different toys which are typical of the 70s and 80s which we all spent so many hours playing with! From weird and wonderful pens to snugglebums,…

There was actually nothing more embarrassing than some of the things we did when we were younger. It’s always funny to look back at photos of ourselves when we were in school or college, back when we thought we looked the shit when really we didn’t, at all. We knew that half the stuff we did when we were growing up was cool at the time, but when we look back we cringe so badly… 1.

Do you believe in palm reading? Think someone can predict your future based on the lines on your palms? Would you let someone read your palms or would you just give it a miss? There are many different versions of palm reading, depending on different cultures but the end result is usually always the same or similar. There has been a lot of research in direct relation to palm reading and it was found that certain marks on people’s hands may say something about who they are. A lot of people believe in palm readings but there are a lot…

At the time, it seemed like an annoying imposition if you were lucky enough to have the ability to visit your grandparents, something that your parents had to force you into rather than something you should be running towards! However, take a look at the list below and you’ll find yourself being transported to the 80s by some grandparent nostalgia. 1. Glass Animals The funny thing about glass ornaments is that, while they’ve essentially come to be known as hugely tacky and something that elderly people collect, it actually takes a huge amount of skill to make something like the…

Back in the 00s makeup was not nearly as well applied as it is these days – these days it is uncommon for one of your mates NOT to be a makeup artist, meaning all your makeup worries no longer exist. You can just rock up to your mates having forgotten to do your eyes, and in 10 mins have the best smokey eye ever. But unfortunately this was not the case back in the day, we thought we were really good at makeup – but looking back we were absolutely dreadful. Have a look at the following 00s beauty…

Dallas was one of the biggest soaps of its era and commanded massive audiences throughout the 80s. One of the biggest stars of the show was Lucy Ewing – played by Charlotte Tilton and she is looking a lot different since her time on the show. The 59-year-old actress played one of the most memorable characters in TV history, Lucy Ewing. The ‘Poison Dwarf’ was always involved with the soap’s biggest storylines and at the centre of a ton of romantic plotlines. Sir Terry Wogan was the first to describe her as the Poison dwarf due to her height and her…

Could you imagine being a member of the Royal family? Everything you do is in the public eye, the media try and catch you off guard whenever you leave your house. Some are born into that life and other’s marry into it. Either way, it can’t be easy when there are photographers waiting to catch your every move. I always wondered what these photographers did with the bad photos that they took of famous people. Now we know because what you are about to see is a batch of very unflattering photos of the princess who obviously tries very hard…

We have all grown up watching different soaps. Whether it’s EastEnders, Coronation Street or Emmerdale – they all have a special place in our hearts. There’s no better feeling than sitting down to watch telly on a week night and catching up with all the latest gossip that’s happened. I don’t think we will ever get bored of the storylines! Isn’t it annoying when you see spoilers all over Twitter or Facebook?! via/thesun We all know that Coronation Street has to be one of the best soaps around, did you know that it is actually the longest standing soap in…

1. ARGHHHHH. “One time, while shopping with my mother, I stopped in the bathroom for a brief moment. While doing my own (very clean) thing in the stall, I heard someone just outside exclaim “Who would do this?” in a sort of equally terrified and exasperated manner. It was weird, but I didn’t think anything of it! When I stepped out of the stall and went to wash my hands, I was halted by the sight of what was genuinely and unhyperbolically the largest shit I’d ever seen just sitting in the sink, filling it to the brim. The sight…

1. Beaded Necklace. Whenever I look at a beaded necklace, I automatically think of Madonna. 2. Cherry Brooch. We used to put these on our blazers and they had matching cherry bobbles to go in our hair too! 3. Charm Necklace. Remind me again why we ever walked around with one of these around our necks? 4. Avon heart pendant. Does anyone else remember this necklace, loads of people seemed to have it! But then again, a lot of people had the same thing, because a lot of us used to use the Avon catalogue. 5. Chunky Clip In Earrings.…

Over the years, we’ve lost quite a few amazing high street stores, from Woolworths to BHS. They disappeared from our streets in the recent years and we will probably lose more stores in the coming years. Here are 14 British high street stores, how many of them do you remember? 1. Woolworths. Woolworths was such a great shop, they sold literally everything, didn’t they! They had about 800 stores pen until their shock closure in 208. Woolies was founded in 1909 and it was the place to go as a child for a big bag of pick n mix, if…

Gemma Collins is the icon we didn’t know we needed… Gemma Collins and TOWIE. Amy Childs’ mother told TOWIE producers about Gemma, they went round to her house and filmed her and her friends for two weeks. She was hired and joined the cast in its second series in 2011. She went to the Sylvia Young Theatre School. When she was a child, she attended the school and starred in a production of The Sound of Music and was picked to represent England in a show in the Czech Republic. Stars like Amy Winehouse and Rita Ora also went to that school.…

There are some things that we just love to do and we can’t explain it, but they are just strangely satisfying. How many do you agree with? I guess that you can say that being a woman is oddly satisfying because there are things that things that are presumed about it and that’s okay because if people really know what we did in private, they might think so well of us! Therefore, we often keep these things under wrap but that doesn’t mean that we don’t enjoy doing them when we are sure that no one will witness it. The…

Worzel Gummidge was a walking, talking scarecrow who originally appeared in a series of books, that were later adapted for radio and television. Jon Pertwee took the lead role from 1979 to 1981 and this series was ranked among the 50 greatest British children’s programmes. Worzel had a set of interchangeable turnip, mangelwurzel and swede heads which suited a particular occasion or gave him a specific skill. Worzel lives on Scatterbrook Farm where he stood on a ten-acre field. He was friends with John and Susan who used to stay at the farm during their school holidays. The children used…

Growing up in the 90s meant a lot of different things. We were lucky enough to witness the start of the digital revolution and experience the mass of new games and games consoles that were being released. But, we are also so lucky in that we wanted to spend as much time as we possibly could playing outside with our friends. There was nothing more fun than the stupid games we used to play on the street with our friends after school or on the weekends. Whether that was kerby or knock a door run. The sad thing is, that…

How good were these little toys?! They were so popular with kids in the 70s & 80s, they flew off the shelves in every shop they were sold in. There were so many different characters you could buy that came with mini keypers in their stomachs that you got by unlocking their tummies with a key. Which keyper did you have when you were younger? Here are 10 Keypers you’ll remember from your childhood… 1. Joyful. Joyful had long hair, glittery eyes and you could unlock her tummy! You could braid her hair or put it in a little bun…

Those who don’t get the recommended 8 hours of sleep a…

Everyone remembers Heath Ledger’s Joker, he was one of the youngest actors to take on the role and he did an absolutely amazing job at portraying the villain. [dx_pb_tag_manager] Some people believe that his methods of ‘getting into character’ went a bit too far, leading him to depression which eventually led to his death from an accidental overdose. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_gI4i”] While he gave us the best Joker in Batman’s history, let’s take a look at what it was really like behind the scenes for Ledger to become the Joker. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_3GVC”] RIP Heath Ledger. [dx_custom_adunit mobile_id=”RTK_sDCh”]

Having your head in between someone’s legs for the majority of the day doesn’t sound too pleasant. But gynaecologists are extremely professional & amazing at their jobs but there is a whole load of things that really annoy gynos you might not know… 1. Cancellations because of your period. Don’t cancel whatever you do. Gynecologists are NOT bothered if you’re on your period or not, they’re used to seeing all sorts of different vaginas, a bit of blood isn’t going to freak them out!

The 90s was a glorious time. We had some of the best music out there, obviously we had the best fashion but most of all we were born into the beginning of the digital revolution.

This will definitely take you on a trip down memory lane. Enjoy! 1. L’Oreal There was absolutely nothing more painful than getting this in your eye. We…

1. Tupperware There was nothing more irritating than not being able to find the different lids for our tupperware boxes back in the day. We used to have a ridiculous amount of these lying around the house and there was nothing our mum’s loved to collect more than these. You would have though we had enough with the amount they bought! 2. Paperweights We all remember seeing these round the house all the time when we were younger. These were actually never used for their intended purpose – to hold down paper. Instead, these were used to help brighten…

We’re quite weird really when you think about it. We put beans covered in tomato juice on toast, then cover them with ketchup or brown sauce with a load of cheese. And we eat meals out of Yorkshire Puddings. Weird but delicious and it’s safe to say we love to eat carbs with carbs. Who doesn’t though! 1. Chip butties. Carbs with carbs is never okay. But it’s too delicious to say no to especially when it’s from your local chippy. 2. Chips and cheese. Yet another unhealthy British meal. It’s pretty hard to say no to a portion of…

There is no denying that we all used to love chewing gum when we were younger. There were so many different brands about when we were little! I think the thing we loved the most was the fact that chewing gum used to last for ages. There was nothing that gave us more pressure than deciding what we would spend our dinner money on once we’d saved it for the newsagents. We used to skip lunch so we could buy ourselves some treats from the shops on the way home. If you thought ahead, you would invest in some chewing…

11 Pairs Of Shoes We ALL Had In The 70s And 80s We’ve all made some interesting fashion choices in the past, we all look back on photographs that were taken of us when we were younger and just cringe. Why on earth did our parents let us go out looking like that?! We will never full understand our questionable fashion statements – from our hair accessories to our RaRa skirts… at least we can see the funny side now. We genuinely thought that we looked amazing, didn’t we? I think we always tried to model our fashion on the…

1. Fisher Price toys There was honestly nothing we loved more than the toys that Fisher Price used to bless us with. We would beg for gifts like these every time a birthday came along. Can you remember this dog? The toys used to be the most simple things ever, but we would managed to find hours of fun playing with them! This definitely brings back some great memories. 2. Old Spice This definitely brings back so many memories of my dad from back in the day. Everything he used to own had to be from the Old Spice brand.…

We can all agree that growing up in the 80s was amazing. Not only did we have amazing fashion, but there was incredible music and some delicious treats we could get from the local newsagents.

In a way, we were so blessed to spend our youth outside – like kids should be doing! Here are 10 things that are guaranteed to take you right down memory lane and put a smile on your face. Enjoy! 1. Stick on…

Not everyone likes winter, but at least when we were younger we actually got snow days where we could play on our wooden sledges with not a care in the world. Here are 12 things that’ll remind you of winter when you were younger… 1. Frog wellies. Who had a pair of these? 2. Draught excluder. These things kept the draughts out.. 3. Gas fire. You’d have this blasting out in the winter when it was freezing cold. 4. Gloves on a string. If you lost your gloves you had nothing to keep your hands warm, so keeping them on…

We all remember the days when we used to go to our swimming lessons. There was nothing more fun than this, was there? We all have SO many memories from these days. This will definitely put a smile on your face! 1. Collecting The Frosties Badges How good did you feel when you could add another one of these to your collection? Who else had them stitched to their towel? 2. Just Using These Instead Of Trying To Swim These didn’t feel like they did a thing to keep you afloat, but the placebo effect was worth it… …

So, here are 10 British classics that we didn’t appreciate enough at the time! This will definitely bring back some great memories. 1. Rita, Sue and Bob Too!

1. Soup bowls. My mum still has one of these in the cupboard, it still looks brand new! Can you remember where you got these from? They were given away at petrol stations. Remember? 2. Tupperware. Did your mum ever go to a Tupperware party? Whenever my mum went to one, she’d come home with even more tubs, cups and all sorts to fill the cupboards up. 3. Something from the Eternal Beau collection. Did your mum or gran collect any of these when you were younger? Back when we had hideously decorated homes, this collection fit in perfectly with…

Here are 10 products we just HAD to have back in the day! Enjoy! 1. Fuzzy Peach We all remember this spray perfume from when we were younger.

Did this on our calculators We used to find stuff like this absolutely HILARIOUS. via/indebt To others it just looked like numbers, but in reality it was a rude word! 2. Wrote this snazzy ‘S’ We used to plaster this absolutely EVERYWHERE. There was nothing that made you cooler than the moment you learnt to do this. 3. Swapped the pen lids around We were ALL guilty of doing this in Primary School.…

1. Munch Bunch pencil toppers Who remembers when these pencil toppers came out?! We collected as many of these as possible. People at school were so jealous if you were the only one to have them! 2. Beaded purse We know that beaded purses were a massive trend that came back in the 80s. There was nothing more cute than owning one of these for our pocket money. 3. Blue mascara Fashion back in the 80s was fairly crazy.. and this was confirmed when people started wearing blue mascara! We LOVED this trend though and all rushed out to buy…

1. Babycham via/Dailymail Did you know that this actually first came our back in the 50s? However, it was the 70s and 80s that this really became a huge hit for us all! 2. Cherry B We could say that this drink was ‘small but mighty’. It came in a tiny, little bottle but if you drank it neat then it was seriously strong. 3. Top Deck You might have been allowed one can of this when you were 16 and at a family party. This light shandy was something we all enjoyed! 4. Cinzano Bianco via/Morrisons Who can remember…

We all know that going to a British High School was a serious anti-climax. Especially when it is compared to some of the ridiculous things we see in films – grand halls made from rich mahogany and libraries that are graced with many leather bound books. But, the reality was something completely different and 100 times more basic. Here are 19 things that only kids who went to a British High School will understand. Enjoy! 1. The expectation of your main hall: You expected something grand and regal for your high school. The reality: When it came down to it,…
