I have my Whizz Kids diaries from 1985, 1987 and 1988. Where did 1986 go? I have no idea. I haven’t given up looking for it.
Every year my nan would buy me one as a Christmas present.
Reading them has triggered many memories which I’ll be sharing on my blog.

A present from my nan for Christmas 1984. My first ever childhood diary. I was 9 years, one month and three weeks old when the diary begins.

What are the children wearing? They could be red school jumpers. The girl is wearing school shoes and socks. But the boy wouldn’t go to school in jeans and trainers. Maybe they didn’t have time to get changed properly after school, before they got whisked off by the robot. That looks like a rather spacious space ship. You think there would be a chair to sit on.

My address in Northwood from birth (1975) until leaving for University in 1994. My mum lived there until she downsized in 2012. I went to Northwood County Primary School from January 1981 to July 1985. It was an easy three minute walk down to the bottom of Oxford Street and across Wyatts Lane. The school is still going strong today.
