What's a silly plan you had for when you were older, as a child?
I remember thinking that when I got a job, I would literally buy tubs of ice cream all the time and just keep eating it. As it so happened, my sweet tooth has largely disappeared and I rarely eat ice cream - I grew up. ;)
Anyone else have a story?
I used to always think I'd own a sweet shop, literally only so I could eat all the sweets, i wanted it to be a mini version of willy wonka's chocolate factory, but with only the sweets I liked (I like most sweets though). I of course had no concept of money but thought it would be really popular and full of people in 1950's clothing...

About twenty years ago, my cousin and I planned to go to Jamaica when I turned eighteen. Never happened.
another is when i was a kid i used to BIZZARELY love council flat towers from like the 1960s. thought they were so cool and said i would want to live in one when i was older on the top floor.
now i cheer whenever i see one being dynamited as they're clearly a menace to urban design and good planning
That's an exact description of where I lived for a couple of years when I was a kid, back in the late 90s. The abode itself was actually really nice, had an upstairs and everything. It was basically a house, only in a high-rise flat. I wouldn't mind living in a high-rise again, but it would absolutely have to be a modern one.Quote:

I think I can win this with one line:
at one point i was determined to go to egpyt when i got old enough and learn to become an egyptologist
that was when i was SUPER young though
i;ve been very sensible since i was about 7 xxx

Well I had plans to get married and have babies before i was 25...
I'm not sure I had any plans as a child.. probably become a game tester so I can play games all the time?
early teens I wanted to join the RAF but don't think I could ever do that now because niece/nephew
I also wanted a house and family by this point in my life, although I'll be buying a house this year I'm a few years behind on that one...
Just called my Mum up to ask what stupid stuff I'd planned as a child. She kept a list. She kept a god damn list.
I'll get a photo of it, but she read some of the weirdest ones out to me:
- Plan to walk to the moon.
- Planned to eat all the food in the world so not only African children were starving
- I planned to own Apple before I was 13
- I planned to be King of London (wtf?) when I was doing my geecees (apprently I didn't know what GCSEs were other than that they were an exam.)
- My sister and I planned to open a pair of zoos. My zoo was Dangerous Den, where apparently the most dangerous animal I could think of was "a big dog".
- it's depressing just how long this list is. I'll get it off my mum when I can.
I remember having a paper round in 2002-2003 and thinking.. wouldn’t it be great if I could get my £7.50 weekly wage in Habbo credits. This was however until I realised I could buy Habbo credits via my parents house phone and ran up a £300 bill using it. Oh to be young again.
