Guest LaneyOOO Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 LOL my sister and I were just talking with my Mum the other day, having a laugh about only ever having Sindy's and not Barbie's lol. Agree wagon wheels seem smaller. I remember all going shopping as a family for our New Clothes for Christmas and Boxing day and then having dinner somewhere, doing the same for Easter and the Long weekend in May. I know it sounds silly but we thought they were great days as kids. Getting our first VHS player LOL it was HUGE hehe. First movies we saw on it were ET and Grease lol. My first record was Blondie hehe. alright I could go on but I will bore you all Elaine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Liz B Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Morning all, I remember pushing my tiny tears in a pram, the one that wees and pretending with my friend that we were smoking those candy cigarettes. Most adults I knew smoked back then. Also remember my best mates parents giving us a small glass of blue nun when we had a Sunday roast beef after sleeping at her house. My mum used to cook leg of lamb mostly and I loved roast beef and yorkshire pudding, YUM! Also buying chock a block of pick and mix sweets, shrimps and bananas especially. Enjoying a peaceful day today, how very mean of me! Liz:jiggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
