you use money out of your savings to buy something you wanted growing up , what do you buy?

[RzorC]

can be something that isn't sold anymore

a season pass for Manchester united

A sticker maker!

Electric keyboard

Game console

Armani and Versace jeans

Wool and cashmere long black Harrods coat

Personalised gold Jewellery

One of these

A wooden dolls' house with real staircase and lighting, plus furniture and inhabitants.

The biggest, most intricate scalextric money can buy.

Glo friends spider.

Woolworths never had that one- I ache for it even now.

A proper slush puppy maker.

My sister and I had one of those. The novelty wore off quite quickly. The chances of my parents providing an endless supply of mini dairy milks was zero, so we'd dispense them all by inserting 2ps and then put them back in again, which soon got boring.

A pony

Books

Sugar Puffs cereal with the glow in the dark dinosaur footprint stickers. I think it was likely a promotion for Jurassic Park coming out. Actually, any cereal with a prize inside. Oh! Sure one was a glow in the dark/colour change spoon... Maybe that was Coco Pops...
I just like surprises.

Soda Stream

A bike 😊

Really nice warm posh looking coats and shoes

Roller boots.

A horse.

An eternal beau dinner set. And a Mr. Frosty of course.

Pony.

If it has to be something I wanted growing up then it would have to be all of the Lego my parents couldn't afford.

I remember my mum won £300 at bingo in the late 90's and I overheard. I thought I was hot shit because I calculated how much it would cost to buy the Lego castle and extras I wanted, how much that would leave her and what she might be able to buy for herself with the leftover money. I never saw that castle 🤣.

This is more or less what I have done:

Amazing dolls house
Orrery
Swordstick
(repro) Tiffany lamp
Globe drinks cabinet
Telescope
Incense burner
Chest of tiny drawers

A full size arcade video game machine that has Defender, , Asteroid’s , Galaxian, Pac-Man, Golden Axe and other games on. I actually did buy this about 2 years ago.

A horse

Two ponys and two horses, so far, in this thread!

You own a swordstick?

I'd love one but they're llegal in oh so many ways, "copyright Tim Rice".

A really nice pony.

Not a kinda shit pony from exeter market that would try to kill me on a regular basis.
