Do you still own one reminder from your childhood that’s full of memories.
The one special thing
Maybe a book or a toy or a teddy bear or a photo
What have you got
I am very lucky. I have my dad’s watch. I always remember him wearing it every day. He used to let me “wind” it up under supervision.
I still have it and wear it |

I have only 1 picture of me with my mum and dad on my 1st birthday, taken with a Polaroid camera, it was the only photo taken and then it was broken (by me after the pic was taken I tried to grab it and it dropped on the floor)
They saved for it and never replaced it. |

I once dropped my parents thermos flask back when they would shatter in to so many pieces. That was never replaced either |

I have my nans glass trinket dish that was on her dressing table. I remember when I was little she would keep the tiny little tester lipsticks that you would get (from Avon I think?) in it and I would test them out.

When I was about 6 I couldn't open our back door so I tried pushing it with my bum which shattered the glass. It was replaced by hardboard nailed to the doorframe. |

"I have discarded or destroyed anything which reminded me of it, and do not want to be reminded. "
So sorry to hear this. Childhood years should be filled with happy memories but sadly not the case for many. |

A toy di-cast airport bus. Whenever my dad was travelling he'd pick me up something like this at the airport. My mum found it a couple of years ago and brought it round. We lost him when I was 15 and its just something nice to have.

A very battered story book that my parents used to read from to me, my first teddy bear, now very threadbare.
And little glass dish that I was allowed to choose my 'specials' to put in, these were a few sweets I was allowed now and again.

The bike the watch.
You weren't in Pulp Fiction were you? 
I have a Panda from when I was a baby.
And a shoe box of memorabilia, letters from girlfriends. A Zippo lighter from a friend, a wedding ring, that kind of thing. |

I also have a few things from my grandparents house after they died, like a clock and some other bits. I spent a lot of my childhood living with them, and I lived with them for a couple of years before they died when they needed care. So they have a lot of meaning to me. |

Yeah it's not you, I think you'd have remembered how you acquired the chopper. |

I have an edition of a local newspaper of which I'm on the front page.
I won a baby competition with about 500 other kids.
I'm next to a giant plush toy womble; one of the prizes.
It's about 10 times my size. |

I have a set of 6 plastic christmas ornaments from the 70s.
I know they're hideous. I can see they're hideous. I absolutely love them, and I take great care when I'm decorating my Christmas tree that they be very visible on it. |

A teddy bear, and a blue fluffy ape.
The only photo I have of me and my parents together. I'm a sleeping newborn in it. 🤭
A book, signed by my Granny from her and my Grandad.
The little bear I bought my Granny when I was about 5. She kept it hooked on her wall for the rest of her days. Even every time she moved. I was given it when she died, and it meant the world to me.  |
