I always thought even when I was writing my diaries that I'd type them all up somewhere but now that I read them back they are really boring so I'm not sure that I could stand to do it!Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-87911191563694758222015-06-02T14:24:56.120+01:002015-06-02T14:24:56.120+01:00I've been meaning to comment on this for month...I've been meaning to comment on this for months, and didn't realise that Emma had already mentioned me. This is definitely a topic that I'm very interested in. It is 25 years since I started writing the first diary I kept and I shared some of the amusing statements I'd written on my blog on the same date. I seem to have had a break or I just can't find the next diary so haven't done one for a while.<br /><br />Like you I'm not sure what to do with them, but I'm reluctant to get rid of them. I did some research and came up with a list of suggestions, although some of them are destructive. I'd love to turn them all electronic and tag different entries so I can search them by person, event or location - but realistic I don't do that for my photographs so can't see it happening for my diaries<br />http://www.darktea.co.uk/blog/suggestions-old-diaries-journalsKate Davishttp://www.darktea.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-41429221845819771762015-04-07T19:05:00.535+01:002015-04-07T19:05:00.535+01:00I found a great book from school where all my frie...I found a great book from school where all my friends had written stuff and I'd found a photo of each friend to stick next to what they had written, I'm definitely keeping that. I've delayed making a decision on the diaries for the time being, but I think they will end up going at some point. They just don't have any sentimental value for me!Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-9653953008212891702015-04-07T19:03:25.396+01:002015-04-07T19:03:25.396+01:00I've stuck them back in the box at the top of ...I've stuck them back in the box at the top of the wardrobe, I tried to read though them but just couldn't bear it!Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-53335127474729000092015-04-07T19:03:01.922+01:002015-04-07T19:03:01.922+01:00I think I might find it cathartic to rip up some o...I think I might find it cathartic to rip up some of mine!Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-40439002564969429822015-02-26T22:24:09.751+00:002015-02-26T22:24:09.751+00:00When my mum died, we had to go through her house, ...When my mum died, we had to go through her house, and I found my old leavers books from school - highly amusing, and I had obviously missed some of the comments before. And some diaries, although most had been chucked years ago. Think I wrote mine from 1991-95, so mid secondary school. And they were really boring to read, just who I fancied etc.<br /><br />Kate Davis, blogging at DarkTea, blogged about some of her old diaries. I think if I had nicer handwriting I'd do more journalling, but I'm not sure anyone else would be interested in reading my diaries, so I was fine to let those go. The school leavers books, I wasn't sure - I kind of wished I'd kept them, if only to prove to my OH how many boys fancied me!Emma Thttp://bubbablueandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-63033116077063500312015-02-26T11:15:52.799+00:002015-02-26T11:15:52.799+00:00Think you're right to hold on to your old diar...Think you're right to hold on to your old diaries, though know what you mean about not really wanting to read through them - that's exactly how I'd feel... if I ever found mine! <br />LIke the idea of a Memory Book though, and lovely holiday collage.Jumble Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178572046978666630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-59228789247198695942015-02-25T22:26:14.760+00:002015-02-25T22:26:14.760+00:00I've kept most of mine I binned one from when ...I've kept most of mine I binned one from when I was 16 my mental health wasn't great I hate what I wrote in there so tore it up when I was better very cathartic!
