Yes, watched Humphrey and he came to a Christmas parade on the Macintyre river at my old home town. I also have a very special Humphrey teddy bear who is 34 yrs old....the same age as my eldest son. My son was born premmie and a heart defect. Humphrey went to hospital and my sons fave toy. Now...

Yes, my Dad (rest his soul) had a water bag similar to this one. I recall he still had it up until I was around 4 yrs old in 1965. Going for a ride in the jeep with Mum, Dad and my sister down the paddock for a bush picnic or helping Dad...not that I was much help as a total brat haha! The smell...

Oh yum! I didn't have a corner store nearby, as 45 min drive where I lived with my family. However, Fri afternoons my Mum would sometimes buy a bag at one of the many corner stores after she completed her weekly shopping. I would get a lift with other school kids into town with the school...

Loved an orange flavoured sunny boy st swimming lessons on a hot sunny day. Also an orange freeze at local milkbar. A tall glass of orange crushed ice.. lovely!

Yes, I do reemember having frozen cordial sometimes. Mainly end of week sports days playing softball out on the field in the heat...not fun! Well, the sport was fun, but not the hot afternoon! Had to be careful with lid as sometimes leaked in school case if accidentally left lid off!

Yes, loved playing with plasticene at school,and my Mum bought some for me to play with at home. Great memories of sitting with Mum making snakes, snails and baskets with eggs.Great fun!

Mr Squiggle the man from the moon! I certainly did watch it, and very clever with the drawings and fun little show during that era.

Yes, enjoyed using sprinker as a kid on a hot Summer's day in Northern NSW. Heaps of fun, but had to quickly turn it off when my Dad came home...not allowed to waste water he said! I think he knew though!

So funny - a good one!

Wonderful! Penguin is a lovely little place

Yes, ding dong Avon calling...makes me chuckle when a lady from Pre school also was an Avon lady, but as she had a tribe of kids. Hubby would help out sometimes. He would ring the bell and say "Avon calling" in a deep voice tattoos and all! Oh yes, soap on a rope too! So many lovely bottles.

Haha, this is hilarious...love it!!!!

Yes, my Mum was an Avon lady back in 1969, when I was 8 yrs old. Loved the perfume samples. Fave fragrance was Occur! Loved Peanuts, Snoopy, Charlie Brown ect soap dishes and shampoo. In later years fave purchase was jewellery and lipsticks. Avon was great!

Yes, fond memories enjoying a cold drink and sandwiches with my Mum. We had a frozen drink called orange freeze. Later on enjoyed hanging out with friends before a movie, with either a milkshake (yes in metal container) or lunch and ice cream in my early 20's. Country town NSW run by Greeks...

Oh haha thought it was going to be a naughty joke - love it!!!!
