~Did anyone have a stamp collection? I remember getting one half made from a jumble sale or somewhere, inside it had stamps from all over the world, with beautiful pictures on them, we didn't seem to get many letters to collect them from as kids, and I've no idea what happened to the book. I wish I'd have kept it now. Does anyone collect them now?

Also I remember everyone had a scrapbook, it was great cutting things out and getting the glue pot out to stick things in, another thing you don't see kids doing today, it was fun though.

I never had a stamp collection, but I had two scrapbooks, one was full with pictures of Madonna, and the other was full with pics of Adamski

i didn't have a stamp collection, and i didn't have an anorak with national health glasses either so that might be why

i remember a fad where people used to build things from matchsticks there were some great models of things. you could even buy a matchstick making kit with all the glue and patterns. also lollysticks i remember collecting lolly sticks from the street pavements eww at the thought of that now LOL and making lollystick boxes. they always used to fall apart

I remember that too! I actually had one bought me for a present, it was a lollystick house, read painted roof, going up to a 4 points somehow. it had painted windows and painted vines on the side. I think it was some kind of trinket box, I was very proud of this lol. Would love to know what happened to it

....We were always collecting lollysticks to make things out of............... or ringpulls to take to school for various charity collections, along with the foil bottle tops from milk bottles.. Was it Blue Peter that used to collect these?
