I'm a fully grown, adult, professional, competent, mature woman but....

[WhiteJoshsBiceps]

... I fucking love stickers.

I recently bought these and they're stuck all over my professional work diary. They make me so happy

I also love a hot orange squash. My mother started giving me hot orange squash to warm me up when I got home from nursery in the winter. I have had a hot orange squash every single day as my "just got home" drink ever since then.

Tell me all of the ways you're an adult competent woman but still basically four years old....

So true

This whole thread brings me joy. Who says you can’t do all these childish things? Just because you’re older doesn’t mean the child inside you has gone. Didn’t Disney teach us that?

@Graphista

Am I depriving my seven year old the guilty pleasure of pick and mix?? Poor kid has never had one.... He loves sweets buuuuuuttt I have a phobia about intestinal parasites and I always see snotty nosed kids with filthy hands man handling pick and mix and worry "what if someone went to the loo and didn't wash their hands/scratched their butt/ picked thier nose etc" or someone spiteful put something dangerous in there.....
Ps too many guilty pleasures to mention....
I didn't grow up I just got older....
I still eat(too many) bars of chocolate by layers or nibble the chocolate off and leave the centre to last... I still pop fresia flowers dangling in the street, I still pick my nose like a kid in secret, still love splashing in puddles, and the other week I still had a meltdown like a four year old-tears and everything!

Oh and I love the fact my son is still young enough so we can enjoy doing these things together

Stationary and colourful pens and pencils. I have no room for any more.

Love this thread!

I play with DDs playmobil.
I really want the new Friends Lego set.
I like sitting right at the front on the top deck of a double decker bus.
I have many of my childhood favourite TV series/films on dvd and watch them regularly.
I have a whole bookcase of the books I loved as a child/teenager and regularly reread them.
I love kids sweets and got very excited the other day when a new sweet shop opened in my town, the sort with the huge jars. I bought a bag of the teeth shaped sweets.
I still have my childhood teddy in my bedroom.

I’m not sure I should be allowed the responsibility of a job and a child.

I love milkshakes. Oh, and popping the plastic bubble wrap. I’m 62 yrs young 😊

I collect dollies! Monster High, to be precise. I also customise them, as I really can’t leave anything well enough alone 😂

@alltoomuchrightnow I still have the bear I was given at birth on my bed, along with my Roland Rat toy
I can't imagine not having them there.

I always buy the "kids" plasters for the crap drawer first aid box.

The last lot were Mr. Men themed .

Hot vimto is the best. Not the low calorie shite though.
I've started collecting the old ladybird fairy tale books because I love the illustrations.
I still love a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich and enjoy dipping my sandwiches in a splodge of tomato ketchup!

I like to 'helicoptor' sycamore seeds and drink a cube of Bovril or Oxo. Not at the same time

Colorful stationary, notebooks and decorated boxes. Have loads of them. Have to stop my self in shop such as squiggles and WHSmiths. Started when I was about 10.

A couple of years ago I found a load of Misty, Tammy and Bunty comics. I told my husband I was buying them for our daughter but really I spent ages re-reading the stories from my childhood. She really enjoyed them too and I have since seen some on sale on eBay for quite a lot of money. So we’ll be keeping them for ‘investment’

I love squashies and milk bottles

Also when I see a dog, everything else stops!

I wave all the time to children and smile at them. I also wave to dogs and tempt cats for a cuddle, adore animals. Also I wave to the goats and the alpacas in the field. It makes them happy and me too. I don't think I have every grown up! I am about 14... I think.
I love icky white bread sandwiches, salmon and chicken paste inside. Hate sensible paninis and things.
Sometimes we don't have dinner. We have crisps and sarnies and cake.I paint and drawn and get very excited about new pens, stationery and paint.
I also follow cat fan pages and send them messages.
I am in my late 50's.

PS , my flat contains many teddies and dolls, which I also make! Also cuddly owls. I make those.

Adore sweets and eat them aaaaaall the time

I love jelly (but not with ice cream-but in a separate bowl is acceptable)

Love stickers and a jaunty pen also

I can sit for hours with the kaleidoscope I bought - but I don't think it's as good as those we used t have.

Would love to play with my old etch a sketch and my old spirograph.

I've just started a new job after being retired for 3 years - have just ordered the stickers tagged in the OP, can't wait to use them,

I bought the stickers in the link...!

Not exactly childish as such, but something I've done since I was a child and still do... in fact did today at Pets At Home...If I'm having a crappy day and am near a pet shop I will always pop in to see one. There is nothing that cheers me up like the sight of a sleeping, fluffy, plump hamster. There is nothing cuter. Try it.. pure medicine, doesn't cost a penny.

I also buy stickers from Wish and pretend they are for my nieces and nephew and end up keeping most of them especially the cat ones

I think those stickers are quite sensible and grown-up, OP I have some with cutesy plump cartoon animals on, Japanese I think.

I also have these post-it type things

Yesterday I bought, um, several old books about Brownies & Guides. Including a couple of books of sort that made me want to be a Brownie in the first place. My “I Am Absolutely A Proper Grown-Up, Yes, Yes, I Am” excuse is that it’s all for the social & cultural history. And in fairness they’re not all fiction (I anticipate much unintentional hilarity from 1944 book on Campcraft) so claim is not unfounded

@AravisQueenOfArchenland
I feel a bit bad for neglecting Pokémon Go in favour of Wizards Unite this summer, but Hermione Granger is my spirit animal & also I just much prefer the game itself. Not this whole trying to get doxy droppings business though...

@madcatladyforever
There is ALWAYS room for more stationery. Just like there is always room for more books.

@poppy54321
Proper s’mores, right? None of this nonsense about toasting a marshmallow & squishing it between two chocolate biscuits & calling it a s’more; an act of sheer blasphemy that is increasingly common in Girlguiding...

@DarlingNikita
Ooh, I have some pseudo- postits that are like that but owls. Which reminds me, I need to redo big giant stationery order for Brownies from WHSmith because original one failed to arrive. On plus side, I think I get more EasyFundraising money for my Brownies because I don’t think they take it back if they [have to] refund you.
