haha...

"got my milk, got my cookies, got my VIEW MASTER!'

those were awesome! Like your own mini movie you had control over, I used to go through my cousins toy box and look through all the ones they got... I loved those!

Does anyone remember the ad on tv...think it was for paper towels? 'There was this biiig chicken' oh and 'dolly did it!'

My sister and I had popples when we were little, but we had the big soft versions, not the ones with the little plastic arms and legs, mine was SO pretty, pink and purple and yellow... awww I miss my popple!

And there was a collectors set of dolls, one big doll (big sister) one medium doll (middle sister) and a baby (baby sister) and each set had similar features? there was a blonde/blue eyed set, and a brown haired/eyed set... mum, my sister and I had the brown haired/eyed set. I still have my doll somewhere, but her waist and arm broke when my cousin and I were fighting over her yeeeeaaaars ago.... that was my special doll and i didnt want anyone else touching her!

And teach them about how we survived with Dial up internet. My first cell phone had 3 ring tones. Didn't text. And was as big as our cordless phone at home. Lush.

I hope I can give my son some sort of a similar childhood..

on my gosh isn't it funny what we remeber.

Ok so i rememebr going to woolworths before it became DEKA and getting the pick n mix loolies i loved the chewy bikes especially the orange one.

thekelly, i used to love watching blossom somewhere i have a cd of joey lawerences hmm now that i think about it i might have thrown that out years ago.

we had an atari game system

i had soft wuzzel butterfly one

I forgot about secret keepers i had of them for many years sitting on my duchess.

Snuggels i had princess snuggelina

What about Puff n stuff who remembers that with witchypoo i have the dvd at home

i agree though we had decent cartoons not like what they have today.

Watching life goes on with corky and his sister

we had a thorn tv that had no remote and only had a choice of 4 channels and you pushed the buttons on the tv to change them

haha , I used to watch PuffnStuff , at one part you can see Witchypoo whispering the lines to Jack (was his name Jack ? )

and I had Little Black Sambo too CanJ , ha and a whole series of other very unPC books, Little black Quasha and something with a long name ....

I didn't get my first phone til I was 18 , thats when they started becoming popular ,it was an alcatel , an old one, and only 3 of my friends had phones .

Internet, grew up without that .

Ha, thats another one , having to actually wait until the next episode of a program before finding out what happened, instead of googling it
...Not having google !

funny how nowadays the thought of forgetting my cell makes me want to turn round and go back and get it , and the thought of being without the internet for a few hours fills me with dread
Yet we survived , we just played out side , climbed trees and did all the stuff mentioned on the first page

Bubblgum jeans from Shanton worst fashion crime ever made. Especially the hot pink ones.



It's two all beef patties, special sauce. lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Lol..

I remember bubble gum jeans - I wanted some. But my mum always bought me things LIKE what was in fashion but wasn't IT <sigh>

I also remember:

Strawberry Shortcake

Also I had a DAISY doll instead of a barbie doll... it was probably cheaper knowing my mother...

Bike pants were REALLY bad. Actually - leggings weren't a very good look either.

I still remember having a B & W tv!!

I'm trying to think of the name of these toys: they were like a soft toy but had plastic arms and legs but you could turn them inside out so that they rolled up into a ball. Does anywhere remember these or know what I'm talking about? For some reason I think the name starts with the letter 'P'??


Popples

popples

i still have mine lol
Kelly we must be the same age you keep talking about my life lol


yup popples is what I was thinking of, I wish I still had mine as well as My Little Ponies lol.

And I cried watching the final of the Wonder years .
God Im sad lol

I remember those boys Kriss Kross or something and their big thing was that they wore their clothes backwards .
