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

I haven't really kept anything but recently bought some old Ladybird books (The Weather, The sky at night, What to look for in Spring and What to look for in Summer......my mam had kept the other two and I've retrieved them to make the set). Love the artwork in those books, so Janet and John/Peter and Jane type tweeness. If somebody wants to make a small bundle do an up to date book in that style with them on a country walk and finding an upturned burnt out Corsa, John getting mugged for his phone and Janet....well, you'd just never have thought it from such a nice girl !

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

the only thing i have from school is a table i made in secondary school in woodwork.
was around 88 to 90 i made it.

on the top of it it has six tiles and the rest of it is varnished.

it really is very special to me indeed.

I have kept lots and lots, thing's I amde in CDT at School, older CD's and DVD's. Thing's like Ornament's you find in Charity Shop's, thing's from the 1990's that was all in like False Flowers. Too much in a way I guess it would be fair of me to say, but all of has thing's that remind me of the past and is worth them being keepsakes I think.

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

There must be a lot of stuff you would love to get again.


Certain things you will get again but maybe not all of them like the ladybird books,annuals etc.



Although from posts you have made you have got quite a lot of books,annuals back.

Most of the things that meant a lot to me are old computer game consoles like Snes, Nes, spectrum, commodre 64. etc etc.

I bought them over the last 5 or six yrs as well as literally tons of games some i get for a quid some much more expensive.

And the buzz i got when i got them was incredible and it still is.

And also certain films mean a lot to me like kids films which i still watch like neverending story, superman films, chris reeve ones supergirl, and loads of old brit horrors from the sixties, seventies, and eighties.

We still have a Sega Mega Drive with Super Hang On, Road Rash, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Sonic 1, 2 and 3, Muhammad Ali Boxing, Columns. I used to love Streets of Rage. Me and my hubbie used to sit up half the night,back in our courting days playing it. I had a nice surprise this morning, a Judy annual 1979 arrived in the post, a pressie from himself.

I remember Storyteller well Avahi. My mam threw out a whole lot of stuff I'd have loved to have kept. I'd love to have all my old books, annuals, ladybirds, even some of my schoolbooks. I pick any I can find up in car boot sales and charity shops.

I'd love to still have my old cuddly toy Toby. He was a brown dog who had an aran jumper button nose I'd sewed on 'cos his nose fell off and couldn't be sewed back on. He was in a doggy sitting position but I'd cuddled him so much his legs were splayed apart.

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

There was a tape/magazine partwork called "Story Teller" in the early 1980's that holds a lot of good memories for me.


I just have to think of it and it takes me back to summer holidays sitting in the kitchen listening to it on and reading along to the stories. It also reminds me of school as I'd often bring in an issue and the teacher would play a story for the class if it was a Friday afternoon wind-down.


Unfortunately all the issues I owned were eventually thrown out because they were mistaken for "magazines". I still have most of the tapes hidden away tho.


Fortunately tho, I managed to get a digital copy of the entire collection and I still play them from time to time and it genuinely takes me right back.
