A pony. Then a horse. Didn't get either one of them. Did get a plastic horse for a Sindy doll though so I suppose I mustn't grumble.

Mr frosty here too. Like a previous poster, DH bought me one as an adult. They are shit, a massive disappointment sadly.

I always wanted a mr frosty
And then a secret diary
And then one of those play post office sets
And a baby annabell

I've now got a little girl, I'm sure you can guess her name

CazM2012 · 14/01/2019 23:12

Sylvainian families, I’m now buying them for my kids Grin

Heyha · 14/01/2019 23:12

Another Mr Frosty. Also got one as an adult- what a load of shite, good judgement shown by my parents I think!

PoshPenny · 14/01/2019 23:12

A pony. Never got one, and now as a middle aged old trout, I have 6 of the damn things eating me out of house and home and I wouldn't have it any other way. I blame my parents...

donttakethebiscuit · 14/01/2019 23:13

Mr Frosty and one of them electric motorbikes for kids. Got neitherAngry

Heyha · 14/01/2019 23:14

I always wanted pony too but really knew we could never afford it so was always a dream rather than something on the birthday list. I've got three now 😀. Oh and I wanted guinea pigs (they WERE on a list), never did, got four of them at work now.

Dobbyhasnomaster · 14/01/2019 23:15

I wanted a stopwatch so I could see how fast I ran - really wanted to be Kelly Holmes as a child! Think my parents thought I was joking 😭

HunterHearstHelmsley · 14/01/2019 23:15

I got a Mr Frosty! It was terrible so DM took it back for a refund Grin

Heyha · 14/01/2019 23:15

@poshpenny I know exactly what you mean about denial as a child leading to defiant purchasing as an adult 😂

PatricksRum · 15/01/2019 00:25

Heelys! AIBU to ask for them again for my birthday in 4 days?

colbyandmontysmum · 15/01/2019 00:31

Horse riding lessons, dancing lessons and one of those Easy Bake Ovens! Never got any of it and people wonder why I turned out the way I did!! Grin

nancy75 · 15/01/2019 00:34

Russian dolls. Every year my grandparents went to Russia for their holiday ( they were weird) I always really hoped they would bring me a set of Russian dolls but they never did Sad

MamaHechtick · 15/01/2019 00:36

A dog, a guitar, Wellington boots my parents had and still have a bizarre hatred of wellies! Endless expensive dolls and dolls prams.

HarrietSchulenberg · 15/01/2019 00:41

A horse but knew it wouldn't happen. We just weren't a horsey family even though I did ride (and rather well, from what I remember). My parents almost bought me a pony once, but she was sold to a dealer and shipped to France for meat before they could do it AngrySad

EyeDrops · 15/01/2019 00:44

A rocking horse, and a remote control car.

I once dreamt that I woke up to a rocking horse in my room. I can still remember vividly how disappointed I was it was only a dream Sad

(I made sure my DD got one for her first birthday!!)
