I had a doll called Katie that I got when I was two. so all through the 80s she was my favourite toy ever to play with she came absolutely everywhere with me. My mum was a single parent and we didn’t have a lot of money so we used to get her baby clothes from school jumble sales and wash them and dress her in them. I just had to make believe and use my imagination when it came to making cots and stuff for her. I’ve got such lovely memories of her and still have her now and my kids play with her and love her just like I did, even though she’s a bit dishevelled looking it makes me so mad to see the disposable toys these boys get and their never going to appreciate or cherish any of them. They don’t even get chance to play with them long enough to enjoy them. I pity them I really do. Such a materialistic, false, showy, public life they live in.My daughter was bought a soft bodied dolly when she was born - at 18 Dolly still sits on her bed..... she's been left at a hotel and posted back and my daughter still takes her on holiday with us...... she's been stitched and washed and very loved ! I also have a Teddy on my bed that my mumma gave me when I was born - said teddy is 55 years old..... she's so awful to throw their fav comforters away !
