M lost hers, so I had to pretend I found it and slipped one of E's under the pillow instead. Beats a couple of years ago, on holiday in Devon. Mark hit E in the face with a ball and we lost that one in the sand Nope we found that one after about 5 hours of looking Back to top Jellycat 4 Star Club Joined: 16 Jun 2006 Posts: 1830 Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 2:15 pm    Post subject: I've just realised that my tooth fairy was pre-decimal Back to top Kathy Site Admin Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 5561 Location: Scotland Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 2:38 pm    Post subject: Farthing, half pence, penny, tuppence, thrupence, tanner, 2 bob, half crown, 10 bob note, I remember them all and you could get 4 chewy sweets for a penny (or a farthing each) and if you got a 10 bob note, well, it was like winning the lottery!

There was another chew sweet that was sort of caramel and white colours, but I can for the life of me remember what it was called. And then there were the little packets of parma violet sweets - yummy! No wonder we needed the tooth fairy Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Potting Shed Forum Index -> Family life All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3  Next Page 2 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Welcome----------------Introduce yourselfGetting to know you Chat----------------The potting shedOrganised eventsGet on your soapbox! In the garden and countryside----------------Garden and allotmentLivestock and petsGoing wildEnvironmental awareness At home and in the kitchen----------------Cooking and bakingPreserving and curingBeverages and brewsThe libraryLive a healthier lifeFamily lifeGood HousekeepingBe your own bossFrugality The studio and workshop----------------Quilting and sewingKnitting, weaving and crochetCard, paper and woodSoapmakingBead artAll Other CraftsCountdown to ChristmasThe darkroomThe workshopOffcut bin Miscellaneous----------------Forum help and practiceFeedback and announcementsForum calendarThe boutique  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group myff_thepottingshed3 style by ktauber
