Aw I had a border collie when I was a kid, he was a nutty head, but a loveable oneA border collie. I’m an adult now so could obviously get one, but I worry I’ll end up with a nutty head one
He was the best - I’d love another one!

My friend had Dream phone. Its all I wanted to play when I went to her house. She was so fed up of me but she was loaded and I wanted to play with stuff I had no access to. I recall "I know who it is but I'm not telling".
A belly button piercing when I was thirteen because all because my friends had them. Now I look back and thank god that my mum put her foot down! Thirteen! There’s no way my own kid would have her belly pierced at thirteen!

Magic steps shoes in white and ones with a strap that could go over the foot or fold back to be a slip on…

As a child, Mr frosty as an adult, long slim legs.
I never had one of these as a child, but I did buy it for my son as soon as he was old enough to eat chocolate. Luckily, he wasn't old enough to notice that his mummy scoffed every single tiny chocolate bar and didn't share a single oneI wanted that Cadburies Chocolate red machine thing from Argos. Circled it every year in the catalogue, but alas, never got it. Probably because finding refill chocolates would have been impossible and I would have eaten all the chocolates in 5 seconds...

Oh I didn't check all the pages before I posted mine just now
(He didn't care, he spent most of the day playing with discarded wrapping paper!)
A sleigh bed, they have always looked so cosy.
Please try and do this! I do it a couple of times a year and it's wonderful.
Oooo yeah that's a good one. It'd be wooden and draped with fur blankets.
Desperately wanted a perm when I was a teenage 
Oh don't be sad you never had one. I had short hair. It was the mid 80's, I wanted it just permed on top (Don't ask) it was fashionable. The hairdresser permed it all over. I looked like my nan.Desperately wanted a perm when I was a teenage
You dodged a bullet, I promise you. I had mine done for about 5 years between 13 and 18 ... not my finest momentDesperately wanted a perm when I was a teenage
Same. I’ve asked every Christmas and birthday for the last 51 yearsI always wanted a pony and still do

Casa Bev-Ron in Brookside put me right off four-poster bedsA four-poster bed, seemed to me very glamorous when I was younger. Still haven’t got one; now it would feel a bit intimidating and looming, I expect. (See also: water beds, probably a bit intimidating and wobbly. What if you had both?)

I'm surprised the people who make Mr Frosty haven't used this common experience to their advantage and made a christmas advert where parents who never got it when they were young and their kids now wanting it both get a mr frosty from father christmas and are finally happy
I’m another vote for Mr Frosty . I also wanted the Guess Who game and Simon but was disappointed every Christmas when they never apppeared
. I also wanted the Guess Who game and Simon but was disappointed every Christmas when they never apppeared No, nope, never! It gives me anxiety just looking at it. I mean, the 90s weren’t much better but please god could I not be an 80s kid?Pleeeeease share a photo
On the plus side, it was a mega era to grow up. Everyone out all the time, rollerskates, bikes and tree swings everywhere. Home when the street lights came on. Proper childhood that doesn’t exist now.
