Here's me in a reflective mood ,I have been collecting again ,What a hoarder I am,but I bet you all remember lots of these
Was you a prefect ?,I was .
Did you ever get to do lines ? I did 
School milk
Played games and sports
Have these on the heels of your shoes ,when you slid they sparked !
Have a paper round ? I did
If you were chosen you would be allowed to cut paper with a guillotine ,can't remember any accidents ,{No Health and safety in our day ]
This might have been cod liver oil
Some toys we played with
And we watched TV ,
We put hair grips in our hair to make pin curls 
shopped here
or here
saved these for many things
Tupper ware partys in our homes
Wash day was a major operation
Had some of these about the home
Hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane
Love Jan xx

Oh yes, I had many of the same experiences and your trip down memory lane brought back many good thoughts for me. Some I'd forgotten too.
So many - my washing machine had a mangle! I abused it terribly with thick things.
Cats' cradle and hopscotch, only the price of string or chalk.
Childhood was better, I'm sure xx
Hi jan

We played with a lot of those things. Had a different washing machine.Watched some of those tv shows. I also remember my grandparents sitting close to a large radio before TV ever came along listening to those once a week radio stories. Thanks for sharing your memories.
Jan wherever did you find all these memory photo's for us...It sure brought back memories for me...to many to mention...but thank you xx
I certainly did enjoy this trip down memory lane. I particularly remember the thrill of caps and their smell.
PS) I would hit mine with a rock.
Hi Jan, thank you for taking me back over the years We must all be about the same age,
The spinner on the twin tub was far superior to the automatics of these days, I remember ours would dance around the room, when leaving it spinning for too long.
Jan you are brilliant thank you for bringing back happy memories of my childhood. When my Mom gave birth to my Brother she bought my a black doll with red and white spotted dress. The lady in the next bed had not given birth and when they knew her Husband was arriving they put the doll in her cot, Mom said his face was a picture.
Can anyone remind me what the programme was with the lady in the tartan tam'o'shanter and scarf was.
Just found out,
It was Supergran, it ran from 1985-87
Thanks to Google search.
Oh Jan, this post made me so happy!!!! I love nostalgia!! Orville, Milk in bottles at school/playgroup, supergran, those wooden bowls (we have them at church!), cat's cradle, horrible uncomfortable plimsols that were always too tight, I was one of the head prefects in Year 11, this meant we had to do the admin for deputy head detentions each week- much nicer than a cold playground prefect duty-wonder where my badge is!!!?
Hope you are well x
