I would go back to beg of April this year and re-live our son's wedding and have a few drinks before it, so that I looked happier on the photos! It was not a good start with d-i-l but, in a foreign country, among hundreds of strangers, and shy anyway, the whole thing was a bit of an ordeal for me. I am truly happy for them both and wish them all the luck in the World. Yes, wish they lived nearer, but you can't have it all!

I would love to go back to the 1930`s to find out what happened to cause such a rift in the family that my "Father" would not have them mention. I hate going though a tunnel of darkness with every now and again glimmers of hope. I would like to WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS. Lizzxx

Hi Margaret. I would go back to 1915, when my Grandfather first arrived in Oz from the U.K. and ask him where his 8 brothers and sisters live in Essex. After that, i would just go back a week and get the Lotto results, then travel back two weeks and put them on.lol Tony Oz.

I would go back 52 years and ask the woman that adopted my half sister why she told her that OUR Mother entertained the troops during the war!...If it wasnt for OUR Mother....she would never had had a daughter! (this woman hasnt had sex with her husband for the past 50 years cos she thinks it's dirty!)

May I be dropped of in London in 1846 to find out if my gt gt grandmother really believed she was a widow when she married her second husband? Ten years later she sent her two sons to Australia to join their dad, her first husband who had been transported for sheep stealing.Judith

I'd like to go back to the city of London pre-1666 to see what it was like before the fire (would have to be immune to the Plague, though!)

First I would go back to 16th feb 1941 and warn my hubbys' grandmother not to take her children to the arches in Stainer street during the air raid on the 17th. Sadly they were all killed by a direct hit. Then I would go back ten years and beg my mother to take better care of her health. Oh and Id take my dog for a lovely long walk! Kerry

Thats very sad Moira.You may want to add to the general board thread on abortion after all you might not have been here

Mo Report 7 Dec 2004 22:11

if i had could go back i would go back to 1968 when i was meant to have been aborted (actual words spoken to me by my birth mother) but somehow ended up being born then adopted at 7 and find out why i was meant to be, and then would have went back in time and stopped the rape by two cousins when i was five that made me unable to have kids today. so i would use that time machine as much as is possible. sorry but you did ask. but so glad i have my hubby today so truthfully wouldnt change anything just would want to go back and ask and change that one thing above.
