NewBiz Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 In the absence of a real horse, I desperately wanted a rocking-horse, but no joy. Wasn't a fan of dolls, I liked to cut their hair, give them operations, and I left one face down in the bath until her eyes rotted and fell in her head (that was a mistake mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBiz Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 You sound like from Toy Story. Oh it was all harmless fun really. I had a doll that cried, and she annoyed me, so I surgically removed her voicebox and kept it on the side. With others I was just curious about how their legs would look coming out of their arm sockets and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosser Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I always wanted a Raleigh Chopper, but mum and dad could not afford one, I remember one year I got an empty box and was told it was an Action Man deserter. I wanted a Chopper too, but didnt get one for the same reason... But one year I DID get what I wanted :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 oh you got me thinking now hecate I remember that house too, was amazin....what they did with margarine tubs, washing up liquid bottles, match boxes and sticky back plastic was unbelievable they made a swimming pool for it too as I rememeber (it was made out of one of those large round kraft margarine tubs if I remember correctly....bloomin genious ) I've found a picture of the shoebox Sindy bed, set in its upturned cardboard box house and accompanied by a table made of matchboxes . I remember now that you lifted the shoebox lid with its foam mattress and inside you could store Sindy's pillows and blankets. Fantastic. Are kids still pleased with such simple stuff these days, I wonder? I remember sending off a SAE to Blue Peter for the instructions, now I come to think of it, and I'm sure we had a crack at making this too.

NorthernStar Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 ... apart from me ... who's only wish is to own a remote controlled helicopter with on-board camera. ME!, and I'm halfway there already! I'm building a quadcopter bit by bit, and it's going to be a monster when it's done, only a few more bit's and pieces to acquire and no doubt a s***load of headaches and heartache but it will be done.
