will probably think of some more, I love reminiscing!!:
baby all gone, mmm smells like cherries!
The barbie watch which didnt have the time you just flipped it up and it had a square of hard perfume
cabbage patch dolls
pound puppies, I loved the mummy pup with the three that attached to her tail with a little leash
screwball scramble
crayola stamps, blo-pens, spirograph, fashion wheel, gel pens which were all marbly inside but were sooo faint
I always wanted one of the toy post offices and one of the red dairy milk machines
micro machines toy cars
Wizadora, brum, budgie the little helicopter, spot the dog, rosie and jim, playdays, SMART art
Angela Anaconda, rockos modern world, arthur, angry beavers, ready steady cook
There was a programme on the bbc where it was a game show for children and they had to go in really really messy rooms and find certain things in the rooms to win
jungle run, man o man
anything mary-kate and ashley
miners makeup
tammy girl, bay trading, BHS, kookai
I used to hate Sundays when it used to be songs of praise, last of the summer wine and antiques roadshow
Welcome to AOL, you have email!
AOL message rooms, making really cool email signatures
cringe email addresses, wanting everyone to think you're 'random!', a brief obsession with sporks
going a bit emo and listening to placebo, HIM, nine inch nails, my chemical romance, sum 41, green day for about a week
Then deciding to be cool and listening to the strokes, franz ferdinand, the kooks, snow patrol etc etc instead
Paris and Nicole in the Simple Life
Rimmel Beat perfume was my favourite, it smelled so sweet

Incredible Games!!!!! I loved that gameshow. I found out recently that David Walliams was the lift man with the Mr Whippy hair! I had no idea.
I used to love Sunday's for the same reasons you hated them haha. I'd often be at my grandparents for tea on a Sunday night and have such fond memories of dipping my home made chips into my egg whilst watching those programmes. I still enjoy Antiques Road Show now.
Constance Caroll makeup, Gem eyeshadow powder in little pots that always went everywhere when you opened it, Rimmel 'heather shimmer' lippy (although the latter hasn't disappeared).
I don't think kids TV is as good these days as it used to be. I used to love watching Why Don't You? and re-runs of Geordie Racer in the school holidays.
Push Pops and the campaign to ban them because they were considered a choking hazard.
Shell suits. I had a very fetching purply-pink, green and blue number and I felt so cool in it.
Hyper-Colour t-shirts. I managed to convince my grandmother to buy me one of these whilst we were out shopping. It was about three sizes too big and not my preferred colour choice (bright orange that changed to patches of pale yellow) but it was the only one left and I was desperate for one

Through the Dragon's Eye!! I was trying to remember the name of that yesterday when I mentioned Geordie Racer. I used to watch them in weekly installments at Infant School too. I was so excited when they were shown on TV.My TV list is bloody huge:

The Magic E wizard is another thing that's disappeared. It's not taught like that now. I loved Round the Twist and am planning on encouraging my kids to watch it soon! I think they'll love the multiplying rabbits episode.
God I found round the twist so terrifying when I was young! 90s children’s tv was wild, nothing similar on today
I used to love the Clockhouse range in C&A. Anyone remember Coppernob?
OMG I now have the baby all gone song in my headI am so much older than you
always wanted one. Does anyone remember baby born that you fed milk and food? My sister had one and fed it normal milk and it went mouldy inside 
For those who thought radio fascias you remove from the car had disappeared, especially with cassette players and CD players WELL I’ve just been round to my dad’s and he wanted a CD player radio for his garage but was being too tight with himself to buy one so he’s rigged up an old cassette player and a CD player radio and some speakers to a plank and attached the wires to a battery charger 
currently have Blondie on on cassette

Does anyone remember the coco pops boxes that were really slim and you could mix up the different cereals? I think they were coco pops, chocolate shells, chocolate wheels and coco rocks? I had found them one day but now I seem to not be able to find them again

I used to read Point Horror and that is what started my love of real books as a kid too. There was also Point Romance but rumour had it, they were practically soft porn so despite really wanting to read one, I was too embarrassed toCadbury Marble bars - aka the best chocolate bar there ever was
TV shows - Sister Sister, Sweet Valley High, California Dreams
Point horror books & Sweet Valley High books - these genuinely started my love of reading. Wish I kept them.
I was more of a Babysitters Club gal over Sweet Valley. I got excited finding a title I hadnt read before even though looking back the stories were pretty mundane, did Mallory ever find her glasses? Claudia let the cat out, let's hope it returns before the parents return, panic central!
i'm almost 31, although dont feel a day over 18!I am so much older than you
Have you seen the new Babysitters Club series on Netflix? I was worried it would be rubbish, but its absolutely perfect. They have really done the books justice, and modernised them too, but included so many little details. I hope they do another season!I used to read Point Horror and that is what started my love of real books as a kid too.

I remember ALL of these. I had that fun fax! And we watched through the dragon's eye at school. I think spooky lumberjack that we're the same age. (88 here) I loved the worst witch. What was the teachers name? Mrs Hardbroom?My TV list is bloody huge:

I still have a long black dress coat from clockhouse.....it still fits, no idea how as i bought it over 20 years ago.
I'm the opposite end of the 80's to you...The schools clearly got their use out of Through the Dragon's Eye - it was released in '89. Ahhh the good old days when they didn't move the curriculum goal posts on a yearly basis!
I've found these posts really interesting in terms of how accurately you can guess people's ages and how long some things were around for. You don't really realise that at the time because you just get older and move onto different things.
