Your earliest memory..

[Bodast]

Going across a long rope bridge (probably wasn't actually that long) and jumping with my brother because shaking the bridge scared my mum, who was behind us I think it was near Vancouver.

I also remember telling my little sister to go and steal the next door neighbours' kittens so we could push them down our slide when we lived in Norway, and being terrified of said neighbours' mum, because she didn't speak English when she was shouting at us.

Walking down King Street with my grandparents after buying an Ugnaught Star Wars toy from Toy Bizarre.

Mine was walking with my grandad across a cornfield to a windmill in a place called Aythorpe Roding in Essex.(i found this out years later).

He died before I was two and it was a very hot day, so it was the summer before and I would have been no more than 20 months.

When I went back there recently I was surprised the corn wasn't taller, then realised it was because I was now!

i love the fact that none of these memories include televisions or video games or other horrendous crap that children are subjected to from such an early age these days!!

my earliest memory, i think, was punching holes in the cushions of our three piece leather suite with a pencil!! what a little shit i was. i actually dont know what ever provoked me. dont think the parentals were too chuffed, oops

clearly i needed no video games or tv to induce such riotous behaviour in me.......ah well

sitting in the garden of the cottage my mum, dad and I lived in before they split. There was a huge cuddley lion there and heaps of those white cabbage butterflies, I must have been under 2 years old.

Being in Fraserburgh Hospital when I was 3 to see my sis and mum just after my sis was born. I went about telling everyone her name was Jemima (it isn't, it's Louise) after the doll in Play School. God only knows what I would have wanted to call her if she was a boy. I have picture of her being the only Humpty in school.

mine is sitting on the living room floor in our old flat in Bank Street with my mum heavily pregnant, picking my little brothers name. I would have been 3ish. She gave me the choice of 3 names and let me pick one. I can't remember the other names now but my brothers name is Paul.

Good that you could tell at the age of three that Susan and Doris would have been ones he'd have regretted!

I always think my earliest memory is of going to see my youngest sister after having been born. I was four and Rhea was two and my Daddy took us swimming, then to McDonalds, then to meet Fern who had very kindly brought us Bouncing Baby dolls as a present. I remember being amazed that my mother had a shop in her tummy.

However, last week I recalled driving to nursery at my grandmothers house in Aberdeen from Inverbervie with my Daddy and the sun rising while I ate a pancake. I must have only been 2 or 3. So that's my earliest memory.

The view from the window of my bedroom when I was about 3. We lived in the penthouse of a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi (where I was born). I had a huge window in my bedroom and seeing all the multicoloured lights of the city at night is the earliest thing I can remember. The image is ingrained in my memory.

Other things I can remember from around that time:

-Drinking a carton of mango juice at the beach (I apparently drank it all the time but now I can't stand it).

-The fish tank I had in my room (my most prized possession apparently).

-My nanny Lillian (who took care of me and my sis while my parents were at work) building a fort out of sofa cushions with me.

Playing with the best toy I ever had (cardboard box), complete with polythene squishy bits outside in my street.
