I have been in the paper three times. the first was when i was four, i won a fancy dress competition at my big brothers school. i went with our naighbour and we were 'lady and the tramp'- she got to the lady and i was the tramp. i had an empty beer can, my grandads old waistcoat and a drawn on beard! really attractive look!

the second time i was in our local paper as my friend and i were interviewed because kate moss had just been seen taking a bunch of drugs and they wanted to get our views on it as she used to go to my high school. they accosted us at the bus stop and twisted our words- damn the press! lol

third time was last year at the pink aerobics in regents park. :)

My daughters an I were in a Sussex newspaper - absolutely sodden, dressed in tudor clothes!
It was a 're-enaction' of queen Elizabeth 1st's visit to Midhurst.
Have to admit my specs sort of ruined it, but I needed to see where I was going!We were all dressed in green velvet - those curtains certainly had a life!! LOL
Most embarrasing bit was when we got into a taxi afterwards.
My enormous bustle had collected water on the journey - I sat in the taxi and oozed water.

I have also been in a local paper that was doing a 'thing' on genealogy - my g x 6 grandfather's funeral was in the paper.

Younger daughter has been in a photographic magazine - a photo entered into a competition by her stepmother.
She was also in our local paper encouraging good teeth hygiene.
(She's now 26, her sister is 29 and neither have a filling!!)

I had gone to Liverpool for the day shopping and this bloke approached me asking if I knew how to get to the Liverpool Docks, when I pulled out my blackberry phone to look up the directions some youths ran from a doorway and snatched it out of my hand, so I was on Crimewatch as a victim nah nah lol

I was in a group photo of a coffee morning a couple of years ago, taken at one of the fund-raising MacMillan Biggest ever coffee mornings.

Grandson seems to be in the paper at least about 4 times a year, either school or community events.
