Earliest memory?

My memory is not that good so my earliest one if from about age 3, sitting on a rag rug in the kitchen watching my Mum whizzing around, washing and cooking. I can remember the heat from the big stove as she opened and closed it. My sister swears she can remember being in her crib and being fed by Mum. She does have a fantastic memory so it's probably true.

What's your earliest memory?

I have two, because I'm not sure which came first.

I can remember following my sister into the sea when I was about three and almost drowning and having to be rescued by some guy in speedos.

The other is when I raided my parents first aid kit and bandaged both my arms with sticky plasters. My dad was so pissed off that when my mum told him he stormed into the bathroom, picked me out of the bath and tore them all off (ouch!)

I was very small and I was on a ship, standing looking through the railings into the ocean...I had a wooden toy boat and so I dropped it into the water below to see if it would float...and realised I couldn't get it back. Dreamt about that damn toy boat for years.

Mine was when I was in my pram. I was only about ten months or a year old. I remember one of my mum's friends coming over to the pram for the google thingy and I didn't want that so I pretended to be asleep.

I can remember being very young but my short term mem' is shocking. I can't even remember from one thing to the next these days.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
