As someone who’s notoriously bad at completing tags and memes, I’ve decided that the only way to buy myself a bit of time is to devise one of my own and keep you all busy.
So this is it…. The Tardis Tumble
Before any diehard DT fans get overexcited, I am not asking you what you might do with 5 minutes locked inside a blue box with the man himself (we won’t even mention the ‘new’ doctor, *sob*).
What I want to know is, if you had access to the Tardis and were able to tumble through time and space to visit a younger version of yourself, what advice/words of wisdom/fashion & beauty policing would you pass on?
There’s no limit on the number of younger versions of yourself you can visit, but play fair…there’s only one Tardis so don’t hog it for the whole day. (insert your own time/space continuum joke there)
When you’re done, tag as many (or as few) people as you like, link back to me and pass it on…
Obviously there’s no time limit on this, any time in the next draconitic year will do.
Here’s mine to kick off with:
1. I’d travel back to visit the 13 year old version of me wearing light stonewashed jeans and a pink jumper (the least of my worries). It’s about 4.15pm and I’m on my bike delivering the Eastern Evening News- yes I had a paper round. I’d park the tardis in the car park of Buxton Mill and flag me down, advising (very gently) that as I round the next bend in the road it would be best not to start kicking the hell out of my front wheel just because I think there’s something stuck in it . I’d predict that there’s a 100% certainty that if I do this my foot will get stuck in the wheel, hit the forks, and I’ll fly over the handlebars, chipping my front tooth, nearly losing the other and scaring myself for life. The pink jumper isn’t likely to come off too well either…
2. It’s 1997, Airlie Beach and it’s hot. I’d spend a little while warming my cold British bones before visiting my younger, skinny self in the VW combi with the Sesame Street curtains and showing her what a lower back tattoo looks like on the older version of herself. Back fat? Who invented that?
There’s loads more, but it’s your turn now…
Have fun!

OoooH! You Rat Bag! 😉 I’ll put my thinking cap on & get back to you!! Hee, hee!
This is a good one. My Tardis would be overheating if I went back to alter every blip along my timeline. Ha!
Lol, this is a great idea, am going to enjoy this one enormously. Oh dear at the bicycle and tat events but lol too (sorry). Will get my thinking cap on:) Thanks for the tag. Jen.
ooh, now there’s an interesting one. I too am notoriously bad at doing them, only because i forget, so keep poking me until I do.
I must admit to get quite excited at the title though…a trip in the tardis with David tennant…ummmmm…..
LOL-you know this doesn’t get you out of doing the one I tagged you with right?
What is Tradis btw? Gonna have to do some goole research first lol.
Great delaying tactic! Will put my thinking cap on when I’ve done the post I’ve been thinking about all day…
wow, great one. I can think of a few and sympathise with yours. Mmmm…..xx
What a brilliant idea! I shall have a little ponder and post something soon. Thanks for the tag my lovely.
MD xx
PS You have a tattoo. You pose naked for photographs. What other secrets are you keeping Paula? You intriguing mummy. xx
Don’t worry Julia…I’ve still got all of mine to do. 9 at the last count! x
Top of the class Mr F with the first submission….and very good it was too 🙂
I deserve to be LOL ‘d at Jen! Look forward to reading yours x
Poke you I will, with a sharp stick….. Don’t get carried away though, DT is gone, GONE I tell you! x
It’s on the list..I promise! I’m going to dedicate an entirely new section to my blog for them all 🙂
Ah, now we may have a problem….Tardis=Doctor Who… do you not have any prior?
There are literally thousands of sites dedicated, just don’t get stuck there, the geeks may never release you 😉
Still waiting Becky! Sounds like me….always ‘about’ to do it! x
LOL, all my own fault…. xx
That’s pretty much it….I’m a ronseal kind of girl. Although I do see your point, maybe that could be my next big adventure- move over Belle de Jour, you’ve had your day xx
