Just been watching Toy story
and so sad...............got an admission to make....

I chucked out my Teddy Edward and Cuddly wuddly after 50 years together!

Was having a clear out and.....................binned em!!

Oh well ...

What woz yer fave toy and do you still have em?

How can you dispose of your old toys like that

My thoughts as well Marky!!
Are football boots considered toys?
If so have i ever told you about my first pair of Stanley Mathews football boots?

My husband keeps forgetting to collect Jørgen (his teddy) from his mothers - it's in the loft, or so he hopes!
I still have my Ragetty Ann (my gran worked in the US when I was a small child), my teddy somehow lost its arms when I was small (must have been my older sister!)

Loved my train set with a wind up motor.

I had a lego train set, that was great - batteries were expensive though, so I envy your wind up motor!

It didn't last very long - I had three little sisters - it soon got overwound. I remember my dad trying to mend it but he wasn't known for his endless patience and it probably ended up being thrown out of the window, like other things he tried to fix.

I was luckier, I only have a big sister, and she was never interested in "boys" toys, so I got to play in peace with that sort of toy! Now everything else, she'd "borrow" if it took her fancy!

If you can't look after a Teddy Bear, how would you manage to look after a Gold Fish.

Being a chld during the war we did not have many toys , I did have this lovely big old fashioned rocking horse , think it must have been passed on but I loved it all the same and a dolls house complete with dolls and furniture and the third thing was a paper cut out doll with clothes got that from santa a t Lewis's Leeds, kept it for years in a shoe box.

I don't think we were so bothered where things came from, I remember my Dad made us bunk beds for our sindy dolls, with bedding made by my Mum, we also had stilts and a sledge my Dad had made and dolls clothes Mum had knitted or sewed- probably didn't cost very much, but we never noticed!

I had a dolls house I loved it!

And do you remember those sweet sets or shop sets
real sweets!

I had a lovely dolls pram for twins! in navy blue.

I still have my teddy that was bought by my uncle when I was born. He used to go all over with me and sat and watched by kids when they were little too.
