Pastimes~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 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?

It was still in Nan's house when she died, so no doubt it probably got chucked out when the house got cleared, I used to love that too

Aww Toni, bet ya could have kicked yourself! It's all too easy to wish you'd kept something afterwards ...I remember collecting all the paper cuttings for when the film Grease, with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John came out. I had them all over my bedroom walls. Dance scenes, love scenes, I was fixated with the whole Danny - Sandy thing being about 13 or 14 myself. lol Wish I'd have kept them too, but like most of my chilhood things, I didn't think they were important when I left home at 20....and they got turfed out

I used to do french knitting, sure that's what it was called where you had the doll thing and just kept putting the wool round the nothches.
I also used to crochet a lot, i made some lovely little cardies for the baby i was expecting , i was so sure it was gonna be a girl , but was a boy, so kept them for each pregnacny and ended up with 3 boys, cardies ended up at the charity shop.
