I would have killed to join the Tufty Club but my mum wouldn't waste the money on the postal order you had to send off with the form - I was truly devastated and totally sick with jealousy when my friends joined! I suppose I was about 6 at the time. I loved Tufty!
I remember Robin comic it was on glossy paper not the rough stuff they printed the Beano on I think. Do you remember Mandy comic - it had an enormous `diamond ring' with the first issue?
Also 'Tufty' was the kids' nickname for me when I first started teaching.
Like kids everywhere, they assumed that their teacher didn't know about the nickname, so they were rather confused when I put a 'Welcome to the Tufty Club' sign on the door of my classroom ;-)
sorry craft - had some major sorting out to do on facebook!!!! yeah I know, but a lot of mates in dire straights - so sorted out meeting in bars to forget about woes!
Anyhow - dont remember Dad being around to do the washing up - sure i did it with a bit of muck from outsied and a worm every now and then.
Dad did the spag bol and mum did the american fried chicken
Ahhh good times :-)
Oh.. then all their friends came round and played with my intellivision (forerunner to playstation) and my car track game
i was sent to bed at 6.30 - even at the age of 11!!!! LOL!!!!
