Strange and Daft Childhood Pastimes

Oh and bringing dandelions home from the park across the road and putting them in our bedroom in a jam jar of water, then feeling upset when mummy threw them out telling us they would make us wet our beds ...

Fannycornforth.No not anything as weird or odd as that..so that would be just you then??

I used the Pools coupon, that came through the letterbox, as a register for my dolls school.
My friend and I used to slide down the stairs on a suitcase !!!
I don’t think parents knew.

keeping slugs as pets in glass jars! Gave them food not quite sure what it was can't remember

In the summer months, my sister and I used to love pressing the soft tar blobs that appeared in between the cobbles in the ‘entry’ behind our rented terraced house in Old Trafford ...

Yep, two weird kids.

Ixion I used to love 'looking after' caterpillars.
Ashcombe I love the sound of your intricate plans.
I'd love to get as absorbed in a project as I did as a child.

I had large building blocks on which I drew faces and created stories in my head around these characters.

As a child, the only large vessel on which I’d sailed was the ferry to Belfast, my Dad's home city. Nevertheless, I would spend hours making intricate plans of ships with restaurants and ballrooms plus cabins allocated to various friends.

My older, late sister and I would play hospitals with our dolls, using manicure sets as the tools for operations. None of these activities are particularly strange, I guess!

Collecting caterpillars for their egg box home, with grass cuttings and leaves. (But only for the day!)
