I would also recommend webkinz for the kiddies. It is a stuffed toy which includes access to free games and learning online. Most of the kids I teach have them, they are inexpensive so I usually use them as awards!

😆November 11, 2008 at 11:05 am #67064YvonneMemberVery cute Taylor!!
That was a nuisance A finding the toys. I remember Mammy telling us that years ago, she went shopping and left Daddy minding my brothers (older), when she came home, they were very quiet, she found them in the room playing with the Santy toys! She near killed my father for it as he was reading the paper blissfully unaware! They still got them Christmas morning and thankfully didn’t remember any of them!November 11, 2008 at 6:54 pm #67068Taylor5MemberOh he would he had a torch today and went under the stairs and told me he was looking for the v smile with the thomas game! I told him that daddy had to bring it back to the shop but if he is good we would buy it for him as a christmas present.

Or the board games I had a shelf full of them in my bedroom, monopoly. operation, pop up, connect 4, shenga! I think the board games never go out of fashion. The best ever board game invented had to be twister! 😆 😆

November 12, 2008 at 4:37 pm #67081ed1ParticipantI never had a barbie or a cindy. 🙁 Dont remember ever wanting one either. I did have one of those heads that you could do the hair and makeup. Didnt have the real one, I had a copy one which had dark hair. I loved it, had it for years till eventually i had cut the hair so short it wasnt worth keeping. I do remember getting a baby doll and moses basket and i hate to admit it though i was around 11 when i got that.
We always had board games and I always get 1 or 2 for the boys every year too. This year they are getting the Irish monopoly and a football one(think DH wanted this more).
I got a dolls house one year, a massive one. Found out years later my dad had made it and my dad and my nana had made all the furniture for it too. Its still in the attic at home. Mam kept it incase i ever had a girl.
November 12, 2008 at 6:24 pm #67084noeleenwMemberwas ellaroo a wuzzle too? my brothers loved the get along gang with montgomery moose etc and he man and the masters of the universe so much so that he took adam as his confirmation name – he mans name. 😉 do you remember the panto in st peters hall in drogheda

I got a cd rack one year that could hold up to a hundred cd’s! This was just after the tape recorder " stop press record and play "straight out of the 80’s! I was thrilled until Irealised i only got one cd of bob marley with the oine song! and a pair of doc martins with multicoloured laces!! 😆 😆 Does anyone remember the lulu parfume era????? God I can still smell it! 🙄 😆November 24, 2008 at 4:01 pm #67348kcirelandMemberjust to let everyone know …
