This is fucking class. Skip to the toy bit, obviously it's the best section.

What did you have and what did you want to have?

 

I was quite girly and had Barbies, My Little Ponies, Cabbage Patch Dolls, a pram. Weird I've grown up to hate children in a lot of ways.

Anyway check out that piece of kit called Gymbo - you must've been posh if you had that! Also there is the eternal paddling pool that I badgered my parents to get for years and years but to no avail.

I can't believe how much of that I remember, brings a tear to a glass eye. The He-Man toys are amazing I absolutely loved them, all the random household items that are familiar too also has any one noticed the price of the microwaves, 150- 200 quid a pop!
