I had a Tiny Tears doll and in the early years, my Mum bought me a 'Baby Softy' which was supposed look/feel like a real baby - my sister and I had one each but I cut off its hair, poked its eyes out and burnt it on the bonfire once I had got bored with it.

Then I had a Pippa doll, I loved that doll, she even had her own horse. The one doll I never had was a Barbie doll and I always wanted one.

It was quite funny because when I went to Cyprus two years ago, my sister bought me one at Heathrow airport as a joke and I still have it

I did give her to my daughter when she was little but she scribbled ink on her legs and i took her back! lol
She now wears my daughters first dress and my sons first cardigan. (they are 26 and 24 years old now, and my daughter has her own little boy)

Ive got a doll that Mum and Dad bought me when I was two, I called her Susie Doll. She looks like Bride of Chucky after I gouged her eyes, hacked her hair (see a pattern forming here) and threw her out of my toy pram and replaced her with my cat Samson who used to sneak in there when I wasn't looking and I grew up thinking it was normal to push a large Tom cat in a pram and not a doll.

But I exported her to Perth and I am sure Customs were too scared to take her out in case she had a doll size knife and started to come alive and hack their legs

Susie doll is 39 years old now and I really must buy her some clothes as she lies in my wardrobe naked looking rather scary.

Yeah that's my era:

Ulysees, cities of gold, jimboooooo, dungeons and dragons, the A-Team, flintstones, knightmare

Paying tennis and other ‘sports’ in the street, with all the other kids from the street

40-40

Word association game, mustn’t pause or hesitate or you’ll get a bash on the head like this…or like this…the one with the most bruises loses…

Wham bars & the huge sweet collection at Woolworths and my mum telling me and my brother it was ok to take one off the floor for free if it was still in a wrapper

Cream soda - and exploding soda stream machines

Swinging over the river and falling in – and fishing for sticklebacks becasue they were just about the only fish that could live in a river full of tesco trolleys

Top trumps and Panini football albums – got it, got it, need it, got it, need it…

Paper round aged 12 for about a pound a week – do parents still let their kids do that?

Wimpeys - bender in a bun & the brown derby

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small…

Ice ice baby

Out on our bikes all day – backies and endos

Show me yours, I’ll show you mine…

www.80scartoons.co.uk - great site for theme tunes and clips – just lost myself in memories for about an hour - brilliant!

I LOVED the flintsones! and the Jetsons, Scooby Doo (Those pesky kids!)

Paying tennis and other ‘sports’ in the street, with all the other kids from the street
We used to play British Bulldog, Knockout (we'd all run the length of the street and whoever came last was "knocked out" and you keep going to till someone won) Red Letter, Foxs and Hounds

40-40
Was this Hide and Seek? We used to sing a rhyme... No one around me, up or down me everyone 40-40 Scat!

Aaah Wham Bars... I still buy these now. I used to love flying saucers and hubba bubba, wasn't actually allowed hubba bubba though my mum was very anti chewing gum

Cream soda - and exploding soda stream machines
Always wanted a Soda Stream I thought they were great.

Swinging over the river and falling in – and fishing for sticklebacks becasue they were just about the only fish that could live in a river full of tesco trolleys
We used to swing over a big dip/crater thing in the woods we called it Devils Dip (how original!) my brother broke his ankle doing it, that was a funny day!

Top trumps and Panini football albums – got it, got it, need it, got it, need it…
As a girl this passed me by!

Paper round aged 12 for about a pound a week – do parents still let their kids do that?
I used to "Stick Up" for a local skittle team, back breaking work for two hours and I used to get about £7 - I thought I was loaded!

Wimpeys - bender in a bun & the brown derby
You on about Wimpeys the fast food place? I used to think it was posh there because they had knives and forks!

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small…
All things wise and wonderful our dear God made them all

Ice ice baby
Now Stop, Collaberate and Listen, Ice is back with a brand new invention!

Out on our bikes all day – backies and endos
The amount times I was given a backie and bloody fell off!

Show me yours, I’ll show you mine…
Well!

I don't remember that one - muskerhounds were the way forward - but then I was only 11 in 1989...but I wouldn't worry about watching it in your late 20s, my mum used to watch them with us too sometimes

I'd love a wimpey meal right now

So would I,

I used to have this dessert called a 'chocolate lovely' - Oh my god they were gorgeous.

Funny how my happiest memories involved food and television.
