just going back to quassias chuckle thread, where i mentioned how i remember looking through the noisy, crinkly pink brown, empty inlay of a chocolate box, at programmes on our black and white telly, making believe we'd got a posh colour set! lol,
are there any things that you can remember doing like that, when you were young, when money and luxuries were scarce?
would love to hear if you have :o)

I remember rocking at the Astoria on Friday nights, hoping to get a date for the Sunday night pictures so I didn't have to pay to get in. The dance finished at 10-30 and I had to be home soon after. I'd sometimes run home carrying my high heels before Dad came out looking for me. If my date walked me home we'd be standing at the front gate, then Mum would come out to put out the empty milk bottles.
a colouring books and a new set of felt tip pens to put in your furry zip up pencil case ..... ooh noone couldve given me a better prezzie back then!
i remember whsmith did a big long see through plastic case of them, with a little carry handle, with all the colours of the rainbow in it.
oh how i loved to sit colouring, by the fire (when mum managed to light it with her 'flare' lol) on a cold winters day.
luvvly :o)

neti, im a bit too young to know the 50s style first time around, but i was brought up with the rock n roll jivey music, and still love it to this day.
infact there was a large group of us who used to meet up a couple of times a week, all dressed in our 50s style dresses and circular skirts, with coloured net petticoats underneath, and off to the rock n roll disco in town we would trot, to jive the night away!
oh we thought we were the bees knees we did lol.

yes neti, they were scratchy alright lol.
i used to buy a different colour of new netting every other week from the indoor market, to add to the petticoat, and inbetween adding a new layer, mum used to starch it for me.
i loved it when you twirled when jiving and all went on show! lol
when you say 'back' my school books quassia, do you mean cover them with wallpaper?! lol
you could always tell what the other kids houses were like, by the covers on their books lol.
and yep, when all nicely covered, you then went to town 'graffiti-ing' them all up! lol
