We were far too poor.
Come Christmas and Birthdays I’d usually get a couple of batteries with a card saying “Toy Not Included” :?

you were lucky you got the batteries, i only got the card.

My favourite toy was dressing up in my mum’s pink dressing gown, then reading the Dandy with my brother – he used to read my Jackie’s, but I wasn’t allowed to ‘tell’! :D

As for a barbie – I broke the head off in the bath, just to see if I could get it back on – much preferred Ken! :lol:

I reckon there are a lot of headless Barbie’s out there. I preferred Action Man. He had a parachute, not that it worked. :P

Oh! I thought that was Ken, well, it was what I meant anyway – he didn’t weather so well in my bath either – broke both legs, if I remember correctly, to see if I could see……………………. :lol:

I take it you bath alone these days? :P

Wait! You’re a swimming instructor! :shock:

Correct on both counts – bath not big enough for two – and yeah, I teach swimming! :D

pssssssst NO plastic toys allowed in the pool! :lol:

i had a pair of stilts, i used to walk for miles on them,peeking in everybodys bedrooms along the way.

I think subbuteo was my favourite if thats classed as a toy.I remember some very tight games with one of my older brothers, usually ending in 0-0.

Once though in the 89th minute i beat his offside trap and stormed through on the keeper only to be brought down in the penalty area.After 5 mins of tension and arguing about the keeper moving i prepared for the penalty, then flicked the damn ball over the bar.

How old were you? Are you still playing it (didn’t put ‘with it’!!!)?! hmmmm? :lol:
