What thing have kept hold off from your childhood?

This is my six million dollar man, I had to beg my mum for it because being a girl, she said it was a boys toy and I should have a Cindy doll instead.

But to me Cindy was dull. She didn’t have a TV show or a bionic arm and eye and and engine that could be lifted.

Eventually I won the argument. I have never been a conformist.

Scrap books about special family and school holidays, school books/portfolia from age 11 onwards and reports all the way back (including annoyed comments from senior school teachers :lolol: ), diaries, every vinyl and cassette tape ever owned by me, a few random items, maps, football programmes.

”Ted” was owned until my 30’s, then went in a stolen tea-chest from a Brighton storage place, along with gig tickets :(.

I still have some of my sport trophies and certificates, some ace photos, my Cub Scout jumper, a hard back knitting book where I modelled some dungarees aged 2 which was the start and end of my modelling career, my cricket jumper, a few other odds and sods.

I used to have one of those, sadly I didn’t keep it - probably sold it at a car boot sale when I reached my teenage years!

I recall that you could look through the back of his head to see out of one of his eyes.

My school reports (my parents gave them to me a few years ago).

Which, you'd think would be a nice way of reminiscing, but it turns out, actually make you realise what an annoying smart arse you must have been at 14.

I have a few bits & bobs like school reports, I used to have lots but moves etc meant I got rid of a lot of stuff.
I'm increasingly finding myself thinking 'I wish I'd kept that'. ☹️
