Got a Mr frosty (was rubbish)
Really wanted a tiny tears but never got one
Did have a girls world but it ended up in the loft...shared a bedroom with my sister and she watched some sort of horror film and woke up and had a hissy fit one night 🙄
It was looking at her apparently

Who here remembers clattering about in their mums high heels(winkle pickers) an old handbag ,and an old lipstick plastered on their face 🤣🙈

Me. Until I fell in them one day and my dad picked up the shoes and threw them …. into the neighbours field somewhere. They never did mention them. 🤔

Oh look it's this thread again !
My sister shared some of the Christmas photos from our childhood recently and I can't begin to even tell you how un-PC some of Christmas decorations were ! I can't even begin ..
My parents were WC and must have saved up really hard to make Christmas special as from memory we never short of any Christmas goodies including the Soda Stream I was given one Christmas .. I must have shitting sugar the whole holidays 😁.
