25 Times It Was Amazing To Be A 00s Girl In Britain

Whenever your friend told your future with this and it predicted awesome things for you

When you lived out your frustrated teenage fantasies by making your crush in The Sims and marrying him

And then when they went off with another girl in your class, you could get your revenge easily

When you watched Top of the Pops religiously every Friday

And had your first taste of pirating music when you recorded the Top 40 onto cassette tape each week

And then discovering Limewire and resolving never to pay for music again.

When you could get all the latest gossip from Smash Hits magazine

Popping into Woolworths for your pic'n'mix before you saw the latest Pirates of the Caribbean

When you could completely change your look with hair mascara

When you learned everything about love from Ellie Allard and Georgia Nicholson

When you discovered, at 14, that you definitely did have a WKD side

When you could express yourself subtly through the song lyrics in your MSN name

When you could sum up how brilliant you were with sassy tops from Tammy Girl

But when you grew up you swapped to Jane Norman so you could keep your PE kit in their bags

When you finally collected all the smelly gel pens

When you'd spend ages deciding the perfect polyphonic ringtone to download that summed you up perfectly

When you'd come back from holiday with the hottest hair accessory

When you'd wear concealer on your lips because it was the only way to make your eyes pop

When you'd watch the Sabrina the Teenage Witch marathon every Saturday morning

When everyone had their birthdays in bowling alleys but you spent all your time on Dance Dance Revolution

When Uggs were in fashion because you could literally wear them every day - and you did

When you learned to take a slamming bathroom mirror picture for your Bebo page

When the hardest decision you had to make each day was to work out which Charlie you were feeling today

When you were allowed to stay up to watch the Friends finale (sob)

And when you had the best role models ever
