No nothing wrong at all Don, good Scottish name is Donald! J Just that most of my ancestors (Dad and brother included) are called Donald, and apparently I was nearly named Donaldina, family have no imagination! I should never have told that Jill.....she won't let me forget it! LOL Christine :-)

my brother had a zx spectrum....used to love playing space invaders on it!!!! lol

I wish I still had my lamb. It would be so old it's be mutton now! Still have a ZX81 computer somewhere in the loft, though.

Pelham Puppets!!! wow!!!!

Why do you want to change? I would be happy as a Chris, but nothing wrong with Don.

Oh we had puppets too.....not sure what type or what they were called but I saw a couple on the Antiques roadshow a few months back!! lol (off to look on ebay for them now!)

I'm showing my age here. I have a Muffin the Mule string puppet. Any one remember those? Jo.

oh it soooooo suits you!!! lmao Likely do another one into the new year.......the Shots girls gotta come out with us old fogies again tho.......tell them to write down as many shots as they can think of and we'll see how many we can get thru!!! pmsl

Thinking of changing my name to that...what d'ya think? LOL Yes saw your thread, sorry, hadn't got round to posting yet. I'm moving house in a fortnight, so with that and Christmas coming, I'll not be able to make it! And the 'Shots' girls will be working, but hopefully be at the next one, they really enjoyed themselves! Donaldina ;-)

I've got a 'Ready Steady Cook Marshmallow Maker'..... that I got 2 years ago!!! lol becx

Hiya Jill, just the other month I was telling Nicola about one of my old Judy annuals that I loved when I was young and wished I'd kept. . A few days later she gave me a parcel containing the very annual ....Judy 1970, she'd bought it on Ebay for me. Brought back loads of memories. I thought it was really nice of her, but then she did go onto say, I must have been a 'geeky bairn' if I liked that! LOL Christine

might do triv tonight actually!!!! I even collect trivial pursuits games too and extra questions.....needing the globetrotter edition at the moment if anyone wants to part with it!! lol I remember a game called Hotel....similar to Monopoly but as you went round the board buying property you collected pieces and built your hotels upwards.....that was a brill game lol

Jill - I got £80 just for the Oriental one called Jasmine - in PLAYED WITH condition!!

Ah Jill I see stuff in the shops like that, that bring back memories!! I still have the original Monopoly (scottie dog, hat etc in metal) Cluedo, I-Spy etc. I'm glad I hung onto them now!! I even have some original Snoppy stuff!! Boy i'm sad!! lol BTW, when's the next trivial pursuit night? :0) Joan xx
