Re: Howdydoo Everybody Peeps

Well what can I say, thank you to you boys and giggles for such a sweety warmy welcome, its so nice to have such friendly messages and me only being here a few moments , its nicy nicy,
I assume ,(maybe wrongly) that you are a girls Joybee and Huggie and that Rosso is a boy , I dont want to get it wrong on my first day at school
Im aways getting things wrong and jumping to conclusions, so hope i dont make a twit of myself,

I dont have many friends outside of the internet so im happy to make lots of new friends here, I was brought up in a very big family ( lots of boys and girls around around, (bit like BAGGIE TROUSERS by Madness) there where 9 of us kids in a 3 bedroom house , Can you imagine, 9 kids in 2 bedrooms, boys in one, girls in the other, do you know , I didnt know what it was like to sleep on my own untill I got married,

It was a council houseback in the late 50`s early 60`s Quite posh I suppose cos it was detached, well it wasnt detached as such, it was falling away from the house next door, but you know what I mean,
I didnt have many toys as a kid so Im making up for it now by collecting old vintage toys and books and stuff to make up for it,I remember one day my dad said to me "what would you like for your birthday B D " I said " Daddy I would like something to wear and something to play with" so he bought me a pair of trousers and he cut the pockets out?

I didnt have any proper clothes untill I was 6 years old, My nannie bought my first school uniform from the " Army and Navy Stores" can you imagine , 6 years of age going to school dressed up like a Japanese General

So thats a little bit about me not very interesting but im looking forward to looking at the toys and memorabilia you have collected here cos I luv old stuff , not having lots of toys when I was a lad made me a compulsive collector later in life, Every Christmas My dad yould give me an empty box and tell me it was a special one, he called it an Action Man deserter, thats why I hate dolls for boys now, It reminds my of sad christmas`s, and its a bit weird, dolls for girls yes , but boys !!!!!!Eeeewwwww

Anyway its a bit long winded but Thansk you for the warm welcome you guys and BIG HUGS all round
