Me and my brothers and sisters, Summer 1978. I'm 3rd from left.
I'll post the baby one later. It's a cracker
That's a great pic fracas,
I used to love those horse play things - and the witches hats.
They're judged as too dangerous now

That horse was great, you could push it so hard it would nearly come off its pivot thing. And no bouncy surfaces then, just broken glass and dogshit
Mr Meat and King Kev will recognise that rocking horse
Lovely pic Fracas! Awwwww those horses were brilliant, remember when kids were allowed to play on horses, witches hats and seesaws All of which had concrete underneath to catch you when (not IF) you fell, none of this rubber matting stuff they have these days.

I'll be back later to feast my eyes on all of the hysterical fabulous new photos.
I'll have to see if I can rake some more out to humiliate myself with.

Thankyou Cinds for this thread. I have laughed and laughed at some (not all) of the pics in here, especially the basin cut years 'cos I had that haircut. The crimpelene years 'cos I wore those frocks,and the boy years, I was a boy too at one point.Thanks again, and I will try and get a picture up. 
Note the bliddy ribbons. My mum was fixated with ribbons, we used to pull them out after five minutes.
Hey Sez
they're lovely, how sad about your little cousin, terrible to lose a child.
I know what you mean about the ribbons. I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread about how many of us had ribbons in our hair.
Did you used to have different ones to match different outfits?

We did have matching ribbons to outfits, I think it shows our age. Trouble with my pics, is, that is how my sister sent them to me and I don't know how to separate them.She scanned them in together instead of seperatly
They are both me
I love this one...my nephew showing Mummy his two sore fingers. How Mummy kept a straight face I will never know

BBBS posted really excellent instructions - but I don't know where they are - Doh
If I remember it right, you can change the size when you upload the pic.
If you have already done it, I think you can click on the photo then you get an button to edit then click on tools.
Sorry if that's not right hun
Hyjean, they are so lovely.
I see we have another victim of the ribbon club too

Thanks, I did it I think, now they are smaller than football pitches
You're welcome
It does take a bit of mucking about to get them the right size

Ribbons gone and forgotten I think now, you never see little girls wearing them

OMGZZZ you're just like I imagined you Veej

We had one of them sun loungers ('Mum's Sun Lounger'), they were brilliant at chopping the ends of your fingers off, and for going rusty if they were left anywhere near any form of moisture, i.e. the atmosphere. And if you sat on it right in the middle it would fold itself up and trap you.
I remember buggies being particularly dangerous too. None of this namby pamby safety shite.

Hi all 
On all the lovely photo's i've had a good laughlook through them all and can sympathize with some of the fashion's and haircuts of the past, late 70's early 80's, I also had what i'd call a bowl cut when i was about 6-7 mum called it a page boy haircut, but on a girl? im sure they hoped i was a boy and some of the clothes they use to make me wear well im sure they had a thing for cords and arron jumpers (home knitted) if i can find any that are'nt to embarrising i will share so you can all laugh have a look

People still pay good money for that haircut...
...our mothers could have made fortunes with their kitchen scissors.
Did anyone's dad used to cut their hair with one of those razors in plastic things? I remember me dad cutting his own hair with one of them. And having solid shaving soap with a shaving brush, with one of them razors you had to replace the individual blades in (50p for 10 down Wigan market). And him having bog roll all over his face when he slashed himself to ribbons.
they wanna come see my mum after a glass of chardonnay ! im sure she'll oblige LOL!
