Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Dec 2023 10:11pm, 23 Dec 2023 40,091 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I was 3 years and 3 months old when my younger sister was born, I recall my older sister (5years) telling me that she had pinched me when I was a baby, so I pinched my new sister! I clearly remember having chicken pox as a toddler, as did my siblings, I couldn’t have been very old as I recall we all slept downstairs and I can still picture where my cot was in the room. I only had one birthday party as a child, when I was 5, I can remember my favourite present was a pop up book.
