  1. Don't forget the little pocket for your hankie.
  2. Anyone remember playing with 'chucks' small squares of coloured wood which you threw in the air and caught on the back of your hand.
  3. I remember chalking a pattern on my top but I knelt on it to spin so the pattern rubbed off. I also used the skate and book but never on a steep hill, my cousin talked me into trying a big hill but I must turn right at the bottom of course I didn't. Broken anke and wrist the bank in question is the one in a previous picture, he had trouble sitting down while was spoilt LOL.
  4. Don't worry loppy i once said i couldn't find any tiny rubber "bullets" how it got from buttons to bullets i will never know.
  5. Ben was our second puppy but i think he will be the last, i now live in a small fishing village so there is no traffic or large shops all things a puppy needs as part of his training. Just have to take Silas out and about he likes out but not about, lazy little devil.
  6. Everyone who was interested in my posts and made comments on Ben, he went last week to start on the hard work that makes a guide dog. The training we had given him was passed as excellent so he was ready to go, its hard to let him go when you have had him for 14months and he has been with you all the time. Miss him for many reasons.
  7. 7.30 early morning walk.
  8. Maybe time to hand the job over to MrsC...........I have got an old cut throat razor that belonged to my Grandfather sharpen it up be as good as new.
  9. Its like the song "i'm to young to feel this dam old". Lilo Lil had been to the vet after some fool had left a fish hook on the rocks.
  10. Nonna, that is not my dog she has just returned from the vet my friend sent pic, will try and upload mine, senior citizen moment LOL
  11. At the minute i am peeved.... at the antics of rent an idiot who are at Alder Hay hospital, i have every sympath for the parents but their supporters seem to forget about all the other sick children. The noise and upheavel they are causing affects staff visitors and most of all the children, the staff devote themselves to caring for all the patients and do not deserve the bad press from so called "friends of Alfie". Its only my opinion sorry if it offends anyone.
  12. I had wondered is it possible we may save to many pictures, like Margie just a thought.
  13. Complete agreement Jill, it's my house if your not invited don't expect a welcome. Our alarm system was upgraded five years ago and it is LOUD enough to wake the dead, which could be a problem as the cemetery is two minutes away. I ring my daughter every night to remind her to put it on.
  14. Gem

    telly adverts

    The Doritos advert where the man sucks anothers finger saying cheese i love cheese............makes my stomach churn.
  15. My mum would be most upset if she found out that i had told every one that she resembled the "tubby" one in the middle. Fortunately for me she does not log into nostalgia.
  16. Through the day they are sitting in my bedroom on display, when I go to bed the are put in the wardrobe door shut.......
  17. No Margie this is seriously creepy and there is one more.
  18. Thank you all so much for your lovely messages, nice feeling to back and part of things again xx
  19. It's mine Margie, i had commented on a similar doll seen on a visit to Whitby, so they decided i must like them. I find her very creepy her eyes follow you !!!!!!!! When i found that another was on the way i just had to say how much i liked it unfortunately knowing them as i do more will follow. Hopefully i can put a limit on how much they can spend....... I have popped in a few times but never felt it was the right time, will now catch up on what i have missed.
  20. i just knew that showing mum and aunty how to use ebay would come back and haunt me. There. Is also another one on the way.
  21. My sincere condolences to his wife and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
  22. Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and messages i appreciated them very much. At the moment NS is not a good place for me, maybe in a few months when things are not so raw. I also enjoyed all the interaction on my own comments and i thank you all for that. Take care of yourselves Gem.
  23. I have come onto the forum to say thank you for all the information and nostalgia that Alan and i have enjoyed over the years. Alan died from a heart attack on the 17th and i am finding it hard to accept, wish you all a healthy and happy future. Gem
