    Memories:
    Taking empty Tizer bottles back to the corner shop to get some money back. Cant remember how much it was. I was only 6 :rotfl:
    Elf n safety would have a field day with that these days. But come to think of it, was dangerous letting a 6 year old carry glass bottles to the shop :o


    Just out of interest can you ever remember dropping any :)

    I got up to necksies, but then at that time I was quite a bit taller than the others, I was even a goal attack in netball, only average height now though.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
