    Yes and hated the thing - it was easier to wash by hand!

    When the Royal family could have the best artists in the world how did they get this one?

    Electric jug

    Yes we had one and I always thought how heavy and unbalanced type of design they were. They were cheap and easy to repair though.

    Wooden thread spools

    We made long strings of wool, it was very quick to do. and then made them into coasters, pot holders etc. Great fun long before screen time!

    Bag of lollies

    Loved going to the corner shop where they weighed out the lollies from large glass jars. They were a real treat!

    'I felt empty': Primary school bans grandparents from entering classrooms

    If this was a requirement then surely it should have been organised long before the grandparents day. How disappointing for the kids and the grandparents.

    We weren't a rich family but there was always plenty of love. My Mum's mother died when Mum was only 2 so she never knew a mother's love herself but somehow made up for it to us ten times over. When we said we were still hungry she would give us her meal as she knew what it was like to go to...

    AIBU 06.05.2024

    It's not an enjoyable outing if you are pressured into eating more than you want and then made to feel guilty because you don't eat your Mum's leftovers. I would not go out with them as you have rights too.

    Old computers

    I remember how utterly fascinated we were by our first computer and the game we played - like a ping pong with a little white shape moving from side to side! I guess the guy that said personal computers would never catch on was wrong!

    Old laundry troughs

    They were nice and deep and strong and as my Mum did all her washing by hand they were very well used!
