Vicki Johnson - A great time for me. All my children were born in the 80s. I had a lovely life as a stay at home mum. So very different to today's world.
Kathryn Potter - Much, much better than now. Was in my 30s, had a great job, more money, a beautiful little car and enjoyed life to the fullest. Did not have a care in the world. Life was good. I just wish we could go back to those days, but sadly all gone!
