When I was a kid........................................................

[waterfalls]

My mum often put my hair up with elastic bands and it hurt like hell getting them out....................and awful cheap plasters that became part of your skin, could only be forced of after a long soak in the bath while painfully peeling them off with a knife.

anyone else

Not only are we all sad enough to discuss white dog poo but someone else was even sadder to post that picture on the internet for me to find

Didnt like to say anything saint was just wondering how you knew so much about white dog pooh is all he he x

'cos I'm bored and googling is fun when you are bored.

I know what you mean now! I can remember it, just. Could it's absence be because we are more aware of the social responsibility of poop scooping?

Strangers could be nice to you without fearing being confused with paedophiles.

Food was good and safe as long as it was stored in Tupperware.

Blistered peeling off skin every single beach holiday. Suncreams were to make you brown not to protect you from sunrays.

White dog poo? Blimey, it's true... it's gone! what did they eat? bones? leftovers? calcic carbonate?

HAve you googled the cause StG?

No, that's why I was vague. Someone else disclosed the cause on a previous thread.

Tupperware. I remember my Mum having a Tupperware party. It was revolutionary stuff. She still has alot of it now too.

i think all mums have lots of tupperware.

i don't of course but i'm not a 'real' mum.i'm just some kid that someone allowed to look after these 2 children.i'm sure someone will notice one day !!

I have some too but the I am a real Mum with number 4 on the way So ill bid you goodnight and happy remonissing(cant spell sorry). xx

Why did Bungle put pyjamas on to go to bed and the rest of the time he was naked? Stick on tattoos from the bubble gum. Bakooka Jo bubble gum with comic strips in them.

Grannys in the kitchen doing a bit of stitching.........
Ill have a think and get back to you if thats ok? I remember playing jump rope or higher and higher which basicaly you jumped over the rope moving it a bit higher each time.
