00s nostalgia #2

[emm]

I remember begging my parents for that water fountain. I never got it. Not that I’m bitter or anything .

I really want to buy myself a blow up sofa and a mr frosty. I actually passed a toyshop with the latter recently and was tempted I feel I am one pub night out from coming home and ordering both online

Hahaha nooo

to make us feel even older, I’m sure there’s plenty of parents of a reasonable age who don’t know what a VCR is? I’m 33 and I think videos become dvds around age 11

I saw one of the kids react videos on YouTube ages ago and it was kids react to a VCR. Hardly any of them knew what it was and the one that did it was because her grandma had one

My parents still have one in their house of 30 years all so and a load of videos it’s like a time capsule but makes me feel so old

I’m just shocked someone born in 1999 is old enough to have that tat and those bits

The other day I went to the charity shop and saw a purse/wallet from New Look that I had in 2003/2004. I had to buy it again for nostalgia reasons, and it is quite good quality.

Other stuff... apologies if already been mentioned.
- That green/gold sequinned satchel bag from River Island that was all the rage in around 2008/2009. I loved mine but it ripped my school tights to shreds.
- Glitter Babes from Boots was a similar fun brand to Groovy Chick, for pre-teen and teenage girls.
- Charlie & Cate dolls from Woolworths. I bought one on eBay last year for nostalgia.
- Watching TV in my bedroom and having to get up to adjust the aerial if the picture was bad.
- La Senza Girl
- Coloured glass pebbles in bowls as home decor.
- Going to Primark with £20 and being able to buy a hoodie, a T shirt, hair accessories, socks, and jeggings.

I can’t remember why now but I googled mr frosty and was shocked the still sold them and have added to the OG mr frosty that I had as a kid.

I don't like to brag but...I had it To match my Groovy Chick alarm clock and mini fridge. The water fountain and mini fridge both sat empty after about a week

I was just sorting through a box of stuff and found so many old books and it got me thinking about the series I loved

Jacqueline Wilson (obvs)
Home Farm Twins
Michael Morpurgo's
Animal Ark (I was OBSESSED with these)

I think I posted it ages ago but have you seen the Home Farm Twins as adults ? If not you’ll be shocked

Thank you for ruining a treasured childhood memory

Hahahaha wow, I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that

They were on tattoo fixers. They’ve changed shall we say.

Did anyone else get a new pair of jelly sandals every summer, and you had to get the flat ones until you got "old enough" for your mum to let you have the high heeled ones?

Yes! I loved my clear glitter jelly heels. They were cute as hell I'd wear them now.

Anyone remember these bears, they were fuzzy but hard, on a keyring with a baby bottle, and they all smelt different. Like strawberry or vanilla or sweets or whatever. they were handheld, not big. They suddenly popped into my head the other day
