Do you remember

The weather is finally changing. It's not as cold now during the days and there is actually sun. Even though it is still cold at night, it is warmer than it was and is out of the minuses....for now :)


So yesterday, I was sitting in the living room and the windows where open. I could hear birds and whatever else, but I also heard children outside laughing and playing. I like that sound, because it makes me wish I was still that age, sitting in primary school, dying to get home so I could go outside to play. It also brought back a lot of "Do you remember when?" memories...so here goes...






Do you remember...

  • When you hadn't a care in the world
  • When you could go into the shop and buy a 10p mix
  • When 5's actually where 5p

  • When starburst where called opal fruits

  • Walkmen and diskmen
  • F**k bracelets, friendship bracelets and snap bands
  • Santa :)
  • You aspired to make the worlds longest daisy chain

  • Goosebumps and Are you afraid of the dark
  • Invader Zim, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Catdog, Doug, Dinosaurs, Pinky and the Brain, The Land Before Time.....the list is endless
  • Cartoons where actually drawings
  • You could buy a bar of chocolate or a chew bar for 10p
  • Carmel Freddo bars where called Taz bars

  • Pogs and Tazos
  • Bumble balls
  • Home Free - enough said :)
  • Tamagotchi's
  • Furby's
  • TY Beanie Babies
  • A computer and social networking did't run your life
  • Truth or dare, kiss hug or torture and hopscotch
  • "I'll kiss it better"
  • Swinging as high as you could before jumping off to see who could land the furthest
  • Slides - or running up them
  • YIKES PENCILS (these where the best) and pop lead pencils



  • McDonald's was a treat
  • Your mum had say over what happened at your sleepovers
  • "Right, bed now!"
  • You didn't have to do housework
  • PSOne and Nintendo
  • Hanson
  • You couldn't wait until you didn't have to go to school any more, but didn't realise the working world wasn't much better
  • You didn't need facebook to interact with friends
I wish I could turn back time. I want to be this young again...and I want yikes pencils... :(

Did you jump to your 60's over nite. What have i told you bout time traveling:). What the heck is a Yike pencil, what purpose does it serve other than writing with?

Opel fruits where the schnizz, especially with he wrappers left on!

Ahh! POGS - P7 and trading them in school at break time.

I never took you for a ren & stimpy fan, loved that cartoon. Thems the same guys that went on to make Spongebob. (i think)

MEGAdrive trumps nintendo everytime.

Next time you jump forward in time, check to see if I'm still kickin about will ya? Also whats a F**K braclet, I musta missed that one.
Where they the wee plasticy boyos?

O.M.G....you never heard of Yikes Pencils...you lived a sheltered life. Its not fair that they are not made any more. I used to have loads. The bracelets where just little plasticy rubber bands.

mega drive was before nintendo. I remember people comparing and arguing about nintendo and ps, but I never heard any comparison of anything to the mega drive, sorry. Although I did have one.
