@SockGoddess

I had some red suede kickers that I loved so so much. A total cow on a school trip put dog poo in them, right down in the toe. Wrecked them. I was devastated.

Oh dear, I now have a thatched cottage, a peach corner bathroom suite full of Victoria Plum bath salts, a country-style 80s kitchen, and wardrobes that have glass doors with gingham pleated fabric bunched behind them. And a four-poster bed.

Outside is a garden with a swimming pool, a massive treehouse and a selection of cavalier King Charles spaniels, an enormous guinea-pig run and one of those aqua slides TP toys used to sell.

I also now own a carriage clock with those four rotating balls in every room, a selection of 1980s executive toys (including a Newton’s Cradle and one of those pin things you put your face into), a giant Teddy Ruxpin, the entire Kay’s catalogue circa 1987 and a hi-fi system with tape-to-take capability. (The future!)

On every windowsill are Lilliput Lane cottages.
