Enjoy hun........

OMG - I forgot my stuffed animals too - I was so in love with my HUGE collection of them - especially after the fire in my house where all but 3 got destroyed (lost some good friends that day )- after that I was so not letting them go ever once I got my collection rebuilt!

1. drink lots of orange squash

2. riding my little bmx everywhere

3. making my brother do things to get in trouble! (oops still do that one)

4. wanting to do everything anyone older than me

5. not having to do any form of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. cupping hands to catch big fat tadpoles in the drain by the field- it was a daily competition. Come to think of it now, I can't remember what used to become of the daily catch..

2. I had a World Wildlife Fund plush toy who I named Sharky. Loved him to bits, along with a plush dog named Fluffy (hey 5 year old kids have a small vocabulary ok). Anyway one day Fluffy got washed, and he came out not so fluffy anymore. Sort of Lassie fur to poodle fur. Then a couple of years later, I realised sharky wasn't a shark, he was a blue whale.

3. Lego men. I found it wonderful that Lego men, despite their non-angular appearances, fit perfectly on two lego spots. I loved how they had interchangeable legs, backpacks and helmets. One day I sent three men on a mission, I tied them to a piece of string and lowered them off the balcony of our flat. Suddenly there was a tug, and I pulled the line back up. Tied to the string were three plastic men, but they certainly weren't lego men. Apparently one of the other neighbours thought it was meant to be some sort of toy swop. My intrepid explorers were never seen again.

4. Starting the car, my mum's Toyota Crown. It was explained to me that warming up the engine was good for the car. I used to feel so grown up being allowed to take the keys, starting the car and sitting on the driver's seat for a whole 3 minutes before anyone else came down. Recently on the news there was a 5 or 6 year old who took a joyride in his family car down to the video store. Understandably, he caused a bit of damage, but I bet I know what was going through his head as he was making his way there..

5. Blowing bubbles in a cup. For some reason, my very young sister and I found this very entertaining. A straw in a cup with some soapy water in it, and 5 minutes later, our tiny lungs would have filled the bathroom with suds. I suppose it's what we imagined snow to be like. Had some snow last xmas- it snowed during xmas day and from a sofa in my mum and stepdad's new conservatory in Devon, it looked like something straight out of a fairytale. I think I've come a long way.

Oh man, Lego.. it's all about the 2-across, 3-flat-high hinges
