Old School Ghosts

[Spook]

My DDs go to my old school. This afternoon around 4.30 I had to sit and wait for DD in the quiet corridor. Sitting there evoked such memories like dancing to Sonny and Cher at a form disco wearing a dress that looked so much like what DDs are buying from Top Shop, doing the cloakroom at a cheese and wine 'do' for the adults and someone tipping us 50p which was way over the odds for the early 70's, oh and so many many more. It was all so weird and I can't believe it was THAT long ago.

Does anyone else go back to their old school?

my ww group meets at my old school.....its really strange seeing it as a grown up (well relativly grown up)

I've never been back to my old school as I moved away from the area, but I can picture it so well in my head, even though I left 25 years ago. It's amazing how fondly I remember it - even though I couldn't wait to get away when I was a pupil there

I went to a charity wine and wisdom at my old school last year, ended up getting a bit pissed, falling over in the loo and nearly knocked myself out on the cubicle door, when I emerged red faced my old cookery teacher was throwing up in the sink

dead classy me!

My sister who is 9 and a half years younger than me went to the same school as me. I used to go there for things with her, and it is so weird, so many memories - and everything looks smaller than I remember it! I must be a glutton for punishment, our house is opposite the school I sometimes still miss those days, but like Mandy, I wasn't all that enamoured with it at the time!

I must be really old, my old school is knocked down and is a housing estate now

Haven't been back to my old school for many years (well, it is in Birmingham and we live in Kent...) BUT DH and I did go to a school reunion last November - now that was weird!

Me too ~ Uni reunions are one thing but not so sure about school ones.

Don't blame you, would never go to a school reunion!

Same here Sue.

However, my mum's house still looks out over my old Primary school and sometimes when I'm standing at her kitchen window it's amazing the memories that come flooding back.
