Ahhh memories

[Osc]

Miss Osc had a lovely dolls house which my mother had had made for her and we have been storing it in the post office for many years. Today we brought it to our house and Mr. Osc spent the afternoon painting it and doing small repairs while I washed all the little pieces of furniture. Miss Osc loved it when she was little, and we are hoping that Michael will love it too - we reckon that one of the downstairs rooms can be converted into a garage for him to park his little cars. Hopefully Miss Osc won't think it is too girly for him to play with, after all they bought him his own little kitchen, and we've really enjoyed working on it this afternoon and remembering the fun she had with it.

I'm sure he will love it.

Can't get Perry Como out of my head now ..... Sweet, sweet, the memories you gave me

Oh how lovely Osc..I'm sure he'll love it.

My uncle Stanley made me a wooden fort for me when I was young...I remember buying little plastic soldiers with my pocket money.

I was a right tomboy..mum bought me a Sindy doll once and I cut all her hair off thinking she'd look better like Action Man.
Sindy that is..not mum.

I was the same - I'm afraid some of my sister's dollies and teddies met horrible fates I didn't like dolls, I had my cars and my bettabuilder, which was like lego

I hate dolls.

We viewed a house years ago and I was totally in love with it until we came to the last bedroom.
It was wall to wall FULL of flippin ugly china dolls...way too creepy.

Needless to say there was no second viewing for us.

Our 3 boys were mad nuts for Lego..as was their mum.

I remember Christmas 1990 building a fantastic Lego fire station that Santa had brought Craig.

Lego was too fiddly for me.

I had a dolls house my dad built me and how I wish I still had it. I am sure Michael will love it and Miss Osc will enjoy revisiting old memories too.

I had a garage as well and lots of cars.

My best friend had a riding stable, how I envied her that

Lovely that you still have it Osc, I'm sure Michael will enjoy it
I had a lovely dolls house, can't remember who made it, maybe an uncle, it had real lights I loved having it, but never played with dolls in it.
Virtually all my toys were passed on to younger children, which I guess is good too, they got well used

Kaz I had Bettabuilder, I loved it I saw it in the shop at the end of the road and saved my pocket money for weeks and weeks, it was 10/6 I'd kept it, even till Bb's flat, but sadly it got so brittle that as soon as you tried to put bits together they broke
