ilovetvandchocolates · 03/12/2019 23:34

I also came on to say the a la carte kitchen, I wanted to wake my mum and dad up with breakfast in bed like on the advert, never got it.
I remind my parents every year of this! Grin

I remember praying every night for about 3 months that I'd get the post office, I was overjoyed to get it on Xmas morning, was my favourite toy and I played with it for years.

lifeonaloop · 03/12/2019 23:57

A tv. It got took off me after a couple of weeks because my mum caught me and my sister watching Band of gold 😂😂

It took me ages moving the arial to get a signal

I asked for a pony for years. In vain.

JW13 · 04/12/2019 00:12

MR Frosty and a pony! Never got either until eventually a friend got tired of the woe is me story and bought me a Mr Frosty. Not quite the same when you're 21!

Also mr frosty but no joy.

I wanted a horse. Eventually when I was 14 I got one. Not for Christmas though. Loved him to bits but had to part with at nearly 19 because I moved with my parents to another country. Intend to go back after a couple of years and get him back but met DH and I’m still here. Had another pony for my kids and strange thing was she was a smaller but same markings as my first. I had her for 22 years until she died. She was the kindest pony. Sobbed my heart out when she had to be put down. It was the way she looked at me, then I knew I had to ring the vet in the middle of the night.

I always wanted a Teddy Ruxpin when it first came out. Didn't get one though, my parents did get me an A La Carte kitchen one year which i played with constantly x

Wow, all the typos in there, try again:

Like quite a few others, a Mr. Frosty. Never got it as my mum said it was a load of rubbish. I did however get the Tiny Tears and dolls pram I wanted. Oh yeah, and a Wham! album! Lol

There, that's better. Xmas Smile

AlbertWinestein · 04/12/2019 01:25

@longleggedgal I had completely forgotten how much I loved my post office toy! Who knew there was so much fun to be had dishing out stamps?!

SorryDidISayThatOutLoud · 04/12/2019 01:57

I wanted a Knit-o-matic knitting machine. I was devastated when I got a weaving loom instead. Never used it. I thought I handled the disappointment well but I must not have hidden it because the following Christmas I got the knitting machine. It was brilliant.
I've still got it in the loft.

Courtney555 · 04/12/2019 05:45

Mr Frosty!

Honeybee85 · 04/12/2019 05:52

A kitten.
I never got a real one, instead my mum gave me a chocolate one.

FoxInABox · 04/12/2019 07:41

Mr Frosty. Never got it but they bought it for my brother instead- even though he didn’t want it and only said it once to wind me up, as I had been asking for months!

numberonecook · 04/12/2019 07:43

Mr frosty and sylvanian families. Never got either.

My eldest daughter never played with toys really but when my youngest was old enough I bought her sylvanian families. DH had to come and have a word as she’d gone to tell over me for not sharing Grin

NellyTimes · 04/12/2019 09:04

Pretty sure Mr Frosty didn't even exist as everybody asked for one and never got it. I asked for one for years, that and a Lights Alive.

livingthegoodlife · 04/12/2019 09:20

Puppy in my pocket hotel

Polly pocket world

Tiny tears doll

Baby born doll (with real food!!)

Tamagotchi

You can tell I'm a kid of the 80s/90s!

Greenvalleymama · 04/12/2019 09:35

I can't remember what was on my list, but I remember getting Mr Frosty (rubbish) a hobby girl knitting machine and a glow worm thing which I remember I absolutely loved. I remember driving back from Granny's on Christmas Day feeling like the luckiest girl in the world!

longleggedgal · 04/12/2019 11:20

@AlbertWinestein ahh to be a kid again. Although I think kids toys are awful these days. Loved my cricket doll too Smile

Lovemusic33 · 04/12/2019 11:30

Mr frosty and the Cadbury chocolate dispenser, never got either Sad but did get other things I had asked for.
