As a child what was your favourite toy? Mine was my etch a sketch and toy piano.

I have a doll called Dusty the air hostess and she wears a blue , red and white skirt, jacket and blouse. She has jointed arms and legs and is in great condition . If I could find her shoes I'd put her on ebay as there doesn't seem to be another when i did a search.

You don't see many like that on Easy Jet nowadays.

I could buy this outfit and dress her up. My parents swore blind there wasn't other outfits in the shops to buy to dress her up and 30 yrs later I found ou they were lying.

I loved my activity centre when I was a babby. Kids today would find it hopelessly lame - there was a spinning bit of plastic and a thing you squeezed to make it squeak - but I loved it. My mom tried to give it away several times to jumble sales etc. when I was older

but I never let her!

I loved little pretend post office sets that you could buy from the Post Office. i also loved Plasticine and Betta Build.

I longed for an etch-a-sketch and i got one when i was 12.

I loved Betta Build too (Oldspice and I have discussed this one before) and my Hornby clockwork trainset. I used to build stations, arches and tunnels for my trains to go through. Yes, I was a tomboy.

I think a lot of us were. I remember a conversation about Tuff shoes with the compass in the heel! What with our Betta Build and our train sets, why didn't more of us grow up to be engineers?

I should have been an engineer after all those years playing with Meccano.

Perhaps the three of us should retrain. They say it's never too late!

I loved meccano too and my friend and I managed to build a working 'Spiromatic' with it (if anyone remembers that) that cost a fraction of the real thing.
