Re: things you have bought,kept that hold nostalgic memories for you

A similar thing happened to me when I was 16 and my aunties cleared my bedroom out while I was at school. My Mum and Dad had just split up, Dad had MS and was in a wheelchair and my older sister was at Uni. I was struggling a bit and I'm sure my aunties thought they were doing the right thing but they cleared so much of my belongings out I lost my childhood, there and then.

Midland Bank sounded so much better than HSBC!

When I was paid out for my redundancy, I went on a spending spree on eBay replacing as many of my old belongings as I could using my Fool proof eBay buying technique. I now have everything in storage like, Arnold Palmer's Pro-shot Golf. Frustration, Mastermind, Stylophone, 5-A-Side Striker, Subbuteo, Test Match Cricket, Cor!! Blue Peter and Krazy Annuals etc..etc.. Run out of money now so Until I manage to get another job(if Ever!), I will just enjoy the stuff I have collected.

I just won an awesome item off ebay. It's a Midland Bank griffin plush.
The reasons I wanted it were that it reminded me more of Midland Bank than HSBC and I saw some of the TV ads online, which featured the griffin voiced by Richard Briers. Here's a pic of the griffin.

I don't have momentoes of my childhood because years ago my husband had a clear out and chucked all my stuff away without consulting me! Needless to say he is now my ex husband!

why did he get rid of them MW.
is he really your ex because he did not consult you.

but really he should have asked of asked you what you did not want.

those things are priceless to you and held so many memories for you.

what have you been able to get again that was thrown out.

I bought 2 pairs of Antique wired glasses from a jumble sale, (50p each pair) one pair is in a flip top case and the other is in a modern one, inside is a very old black and white photograph of a lady!.

There's old school photos, as I imagine a lot of people have. A box of old toy cars I had as a kid, and I've kept a few other toys and games including a working Tomytronic 3D ('Thundering Turbo'), some ZX Spectrum games and a couple of programmes or guides to attractions I visited on '80s holidays.

I still have my very first Manchester City football scarf, bought from the souvenir shop just before the first match I went to, a 3-0 win over Birmingham in 1977! Weirdly, it still seems to 'smell' of Maine Road, though it has been washed, lol.

The programme from the Ken Dodd Laughter Show that we all went to as a family, Palace Theatre 1977. Also a Belle Vue Zoo programme from the last summer season there.

Sadly, I don't have any of my toys, my mum reckons she still has Matchbox model cars somewhere in her loft but I haven't seen them for decades. It'd probably be really weird if I did see them and would take me right back. She also has my old school photos right up to 1981, we never had any taken from second form in secondary onwards though. It'd be fun to see them again to see how many people I recognise. Reading this forum has made me think, I really ought to pester my mum to get some of this stuff out for me, ha ha.
