If I read one more wedding article that contains the words 'It's every little girl's dream to be a princess'...😡 No. It wasn't. It was my dream to be a writer. Or a gymnast. Or a professional tree climber. Or a cat. Never a princess. #TweetYourNonPrincessyLittleGirlDreams
When I was at junior school, I wanted to be a Ghostbuster. Loved the idea of tooling about in a large Cadillac with sirens and then blasting bad ghosts #TweetYourNonPrincessyLittleGirlDreams
Aged 8 I told everyone I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I even learnt how to spell the word. This was 1993 and I was obsessed with Jurassic Park 🦕 #TweetYourNonPrincessyLittleGirlDreams
Wanted to be a pirate so much that I sneaked my costume into school and got changed in the toilets. Strutted around the playground with my sword at my side and my piratical chin held high. Later found out am hideously seasick. Dreams ruined #TweetYourNonPrincessyLittleGirlDreamshttps://t.co/hHfJxdlbX5
