Toys YOU used to have as a child

[SantaFio2]

I noticed in one of our second hand shops this morning that they had a little stroller like i used to have as a child. It is a maclaren buggy, red and white striped with red plastic handles and a steel chasis. It made me remember how me and my sister used to 'pour' ourselves in it and push each other round the garden

needless to say I have forced ds to say he wants it and it is now being pushed round after the dogs...........

what were your favourites?

Anyone remember slime? It was gooey green stuff that came in a little green plastic dustbin. It didn't do much except ooze tbh.

Sindy's dolls house with all the furniture
cabbage patch kid called which i called Zena, i still have the birth certificate in an album.
A rubber spider you threw at the wall and then it would crawl down, got covered in carpet fluff and was then absolutely useless.

I had a mini Cadbury's chocolate machine, you put 2p in and got a chocolate. Only I never let anyone eat the chocolate, I must have made a fortune

argos are selling those choc machines...

at Carla for her Katie Copycat. I desperately wanted one of these when I was 6! I had Crissy (whose hair grew, but she was much bigger than Tressy - had Tressy too), Tiny Tears, Pippa dolls, Action Girl, Mousie Mousie, a Cadbury's choc machine (think mine took old money tho' - at showing age!). Monopoly. We always had to let my cousin Wendy buy Mayfair and win or she had the most enormous tantrums. And a Jacko monkey when I was very small. Did anyone else have a Jacko monkey? Big thing, with sort of grippy hands. Think it wore clothes too. Left it at my cousin's house and never got it back.

My DD has a spacehopper and a rotoskip!

I had a Katie Copycat too - really loved that one.

Also had Katie's kitchen
