I used to read their threads from time to time, are there no threads now? Or is it cause they've disappeared?!Mr and Mrs Meldrum, wonder how they're coping in society after a week of no social media (sorry couldn't resist)
Yeah they've been shelved (rather than deleted) in case they come back.I used to read their threads from time to time, are there no threads now? Or is it cause they've disappeared?!
I had Jane Norman handbags in so many gawdy colours and thought I was so stylish! I remember having a red one, a bright turquoise, a pastel yellow and a bright navy blue. Then there was of course the plastic shopping bag that was just as cool as having one of the actual hand bags.Jane Norman! Wtf were those bags all about? Absolutely hideous but EVERYONE had one!

Chocolate cigarettes with the white paper-no one was ever sure if you should get the paper or not
Yes! Kinder even boasts about their new recipe having more milk and less cocoa. It tastes rubbish nowKinder eggs from my childhood, they do not taste the same anymore. I used to get so excited about kinder egg chocolate, tasted some of my sons and is NOT the same. So disappointing.
Loved these, recently tried to find them online, a Japanese company still makes them but I can’t justify spending £30 on chocolateChocolate cigarettes with the white paper-no one was ever sure if you should get the paper or not
and me! remember The Sweater Shop used to sell jumpers with the town written on the front. My friend had one with 'Cardiff' on the frontI think we shared a life!
