ok, time to confess all. what were your favourite toys and presents from xmas past .



i remember getting a raleigh boxer and being gutted because my brother got a grifter and the other got a chopper . never really a barbie fan but went mad for tiny tears

I got a Raleigh Eighteen the year my brother got his red chopper, vague recollections of Tiny Tears & My First Love, I remember my fav Auntie getting me a Viewmaster, you put a disc thing in it & looked at pics - it was of Disney Films????

Hey Tinklewinkle I had a Viewmaster too, with scenes from Pompeii (sp?) ghoulish or what? My fave was Action Girl & her horse, hated Barbie & baby dolls.

I never had dolls to play with, as most of my things were boy hand-me downs.

For Christmas one year, I remember Mum and Dad saving for ages to get us an Amstrad computer that my Brother and I had to share!

Ha, I love this post! I had a Pippa doll too, loved it! Oh, and a Sindy bed that I broke within about 10 seconds of getting it out of the box! My brother got a Chopper, and I got a Tomahawk!

Best present ever, was a "game" called Angels, named after the TV series about Nurses. It was a big cardboard thing that you had to construct, and it had a waiting room, a treatment room, and surgery rooms! There's was 4 rooms! I loved it! There was even a bloke lying in the bed with a bandage on his head with blood on it! Brill!!!
