I have a doll called Dusty the air hostess and she wears a blue , red and white skirt, jacket and blouse. She has jointed arms and legs and is in great condition . If I could find her shoes I'd put her on ebay as there doesn't seem to be another when i did a search.

You don't see many like that on Easy Jet nowadays.
-
I could buy this outfit and dress her up. My parents swore blind there wasn't other outfits in the shops to buy to dress her up and 30 yrs later I found ou they were lying.

I loved my activity centre when I was a babby. Kids today would find it hopelessly lame - there was a spinning bit of plastic and a thing you squeezed to make it squeak - but I loved it. My mom tried to give it away several times to jumble sales etc. when I was older
but I never let her!
-
I loved little pretend post office sets that you could buy from the Post Office. i also loved Plasticine and Betta Build.
I longed for an etch-a-sketch and i got one when i was 12.

I loved Betta Build too (Oldspice and I have discussed this one before) and my Hornby clockwork trainset. I used to build stations, arches and tunnels for my trains to go through. Yes, I was a tomboy.
-
I think a lot of us were. I remember a conversation about Tuff shoes with the compass in the heel! What with our Betta Build and our train sets, why didn't more of us grow up to be engineers?
-
I should have been an engineer after all those years playing with Meccano.
-
Perhaps the three of us should retrain. They say it's never too late!
I loved meccano too and my friend and I managed to build a working 'Spiromatic' with it (if anyone remembers that) that cost a fraction of the real thing.
-
My favourites were Lego, rollerboots, bike and Sindy. Also I liked playing with my computer (first a ZX81 then a Spectrum +) but I guess they don't really count as toys.

Oh yes, I had one of those too!
-
My favourite toy was a little teddy bear - it was my mom's before it
was mine so it's very worn down, but it's still around.

You only had to look at the ZX 81 with a 16k memory pack stuck on the back of it and it would crash!

I used to play with model Daleks, and as we had a coal fire, I used to 'crash' jam tart tins onto it pretending it was an alien planet. I always got told off for it though.
-
Yes and the poor thing didn't like getting hot, the cooling system was a glass of water balanced carefully on the top!
-
Mine were my lego set, baby shivers and barbie. I desparately wanted a train set from the early learning centre but I never got one.

Baby Shivers scared the crap out of me!

She was better once her baby was taken out!

Magna-Doodle (knocked the spots off the old etch-a-sketch)

-

-

-

-

-
Did you kill your brother?
-
oooooooooooooooooooooh - i'd pay a lot for five minutes alone with him. anything else i could forgive...
just the thought of my Wookiee in the hands of an 8 year oild makes me shiver!
-
I think a lot of men would agree.
