DOES ANYONE REMEMBER PAINT WHEELS ? ABOUT 1969ish

I do Amie - I had them! I found a picture of them on this page. Looking at them now they look really rubbish, but I remember thinking they were brilliant and having great fun with them!

We also had a bbc it had 8 kb ram oh yes and it took tapes took ages to load up but it was great. My eldest learnt to programme on that guess what he does now.
love this thread
does anyone remember the little sweet shops loved them.
also remember a "record player" cardboard records with slots in to click over the metal prongs.

My sister and I both got 2 cabbage patch kid dolls (on different years, of course) - one was an ordinary doll, the other was 'spanish'! Mine were called Pam and Juliana - still have the dolls, but probably not the 'birth certificates' that came with them

We also had the keepers: mine were the swan and the rabbit in a wedding dress :rotfl:

Also, we had the sindy house (which was huuuuge) and had lots of little pieces in it: my parents did empty out the washing powder for the machine though as they knew the mess that could make

Always wanted a mr frosty but didn't get one: I can't complain though, as we did get a candyfloss machine one year!! Also our whole family (cousins etc.) always wanted one of those money boxes with the dairy milk minatures in them, but none of us ever were allowed one :rotfl:
