If you could go back in time for 24 hours

Where would you go and what would you do!! :-D :-D

Should have arranged to visit a neighbour in hospital.
Could have made an Apple Crumble for the evening meal and started on the ironing pile (shudder)

Detective ironing is never on my agenda I can tell you
I would go back to when My Nana was young 1920s
and find out al her secrets

Or go back to Tamar Potters 1717
And attend her Wedding in York minster :-D

Wish I could go back to when I was 9, my grandma won a substantial amount of money and beg her to sort out where to put it with my dad.

Can't say more as there are innocent parties who don't know what their parent did.

When I was 15 I worked in a big supermarket for 6 weeks
The trainee under manger sexually harassed me to go out with him
Even locked me in a Chicken freezer the longest 20 mins of my live
I was young and naïve and afraid of him
I always refused his advances and left as soon as I could
Maybe I should go back to then 1970s

And nut the low life scumbag :-( :-(

Ah! I'd read it as go back 24 hours ie yesterday, not spend 24 hours in any other era :-0

I'd go back to the wedding of my Gr grt grandfather & ask him where exactly he was born in 'Germany'. Although I know his father's name from his MC, I've no idea who his mother was.

I'd like to go back and ask my great grandma who my grandma's father was (she was illegitimate) so that I had another line to research.

I'd also like to ask my great grandparents (another line) why they baptised my grandfather with a different surname to the family name he grew up with (we have the original certificates so know we have the right ones) but it's always been a family mystery as to why the change of name was only on the baptism certificate and why his mother's name is different on the birth and baptism certificates.

Think of how much wiser we could be
And the help it would be doing our trees

When my children were little and my parents were alive, young and well,. When my uncle's were alive and my three cousin's lived in England, and that my much loved fourth cousin hadn't died of cancer.

I wish we could send you back
to those days when you where happy Magpie xx <3

I'd go back to the 1950s when my mother's parents were still alive, and ask them and my parents lots and lots of questions that are unanswered 'cos I didn't ask back then!

The replies would answer a lot of queries ...... that's if they told the truth, which might be doubtful!

For one thing, I'd love to know why my grandparents never talked about any other members of their families, and why we never had contact with them

I would go back to meet my great grandfather as he is my brick wall
and have searched for decades to find out who his parents were
and where he was born.

Too many times I would like to go back to but if I had to pick just one.........I’d like to go back to the 1830s/40s and see my great x 3 grandfather on the stage. He was a performer and seems to have had good reviews so I’d like to have seen him.

I would like to go back to 1877 and ask Gr grandma who exactly did she have a "fling "with and what was his name so I can complete the missing link on one side of the family tree.

Florence in the hebrides :-)

Thank you JoyBA. I do miss them even after all these years!

Magpie anybody that didn't understand that
Have never lost a piece of their hearts hun XX <3

I have one of those too

I think my Nana was a floozie in her time

i would like to go back and ask my great granmother why has my grandmother not got a birth cert

On the morning of 30/1/1994 at about 6.30 am I cycled past my Mother's house on the way home at the end of a night shift.
Mother had been ill, unusual for her. I had a key to her house. I "could" have let my self in to make a cuppa, I didn't. Who calls on someone at 6.30 am ?

I wish I had. Someone, a neighbour, broke into her house mid morning.She was found lying behind the door at the foot of the stairs. She died later that morning in the ICU.
I "might" possibly have saved her life

That must have been hard to live with, David.

I do think fate has things worked out for us though. I often think of things I would change but then realise how those changes would have maybe impacted my life in a more negative way.

Que sara, sara
