Alphanumerical blog hop

Welcome!
I'm guessing you have arrived here via Melissa's blog but even if you just stumbled across me by accident please do come in, sit down and relax a little before you head off to the next port of call.  For those of you that don't know me, my name is Debs.  I was born in 1958 which sounds SUCH a long time ago!  I grew up in a place called Old Harlow and went to Mark Hall School until I left when I was 18.  In 1978 a lady I worked with set me up on a blind date with her cousin.  Just to prove that blind dates can lead to lasting happiness, I married him in 1980!  I have such special memories of the 80s, not least because in 1986 {when I was 28}  our daughter was born, in 1989 I was pregnant again and our son was born the following March.  Have you guessed what my allocated number is yet?  Some more facts for you:
It's an extremely lucky number in China.   The opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing began on 8/8/08 at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 pm (local time) and the Petronus Twin Towers in Malaysia each have 88 floors.
Fancy seeing what the average girl in her twenties would have looked like during the 80s?  Here we go:

Well now it is time for you to move on to my dear friend Denise - it's not far to travel, about 25 mins straight down the A10.  Be ready to fall in love with her gorgeous dog, Archie - star of many a scrapbook page!  If you get lost along the way, the full journey is shown here, enjoy your trip!
