This week I was browsing round Poundland and spotted the Spice Girls album on the shelf that I had in the 90s. I LOVED the Spice Girls! The album was always on repeat in my bedroom. Me and my sister would sing along word for word to every single song! Of course I just had to buy it.
It got me thinking about other things from my childhood that I wish I had kept. One thing I often think of are my Gladiator action figures. I had Jet, Lightening and Hunter. I remember getting them for my birthday one year. I also got a jumper with Jet on the front and tickets to go and see Gladiators being filmed live at the NEC.
Best. Birthday. Ever.
If that doesn’t sum up the 90s in one sentence then I don’t know what will. Saturday nights just aren’t the same anymore!
One thing I did actually keep is my pog collection. Loved playing this game in the school playground. I don’t seem to be alone on this one either. Siobhan Grace of Www.thebabyboatdiaries.wordpress.com wishes she’d kept her pogs too. I think we should start a campaign to bring them back!
Amy (Www.mamamighalls.com ) reminded me of Puppy In My Pockets. I had forgotten about these but I had quite a collection of them. Amy wishes she had kept hers along with her barbies to pass on to her daughter. We do still have my barbies and huge Little Tikes Barbie house. My parents kept it in their loft for years. Lois and Lilian were given it for Christmas 2 years ago. Sadly they don’t have the same interest in it as me and my sister did.
Cassie who blogs over at Www.mummyonabudget.co.uk and Kirsty from Www.winnettes.com had trolls and My Little Pony. They have come back in fashion now so would have been fab to pass on to their children. It amazes me how the same toys come back in years later. Pokemon cards are all the rage again now as well.
So many fab toys and happy memories from happy childhoods. What do you wish you had kept from your childhood? Leave me a comment in the box below.
Being a bit older (70’s and 80’s were my childhood), oh there are a number of things I can name off.
