Same here. One Christmas I got a huge 4-5 storey Sindy dolls house. I can remember my dad taking ages to build it and me spending ages putting everything in it. Then my cousin came! She, for some reason or other, decided to do a roly poly on my bed and yes, as her feet went over so did my dolls house with it. I remember crying my eyes out, my dad being cross and my cousin being quickly taken home without even as much as a sorry. My dad fixed it as best as he could but it was never the same and not very sturdy again

I also gave my doll a hair cut. It looked awful. I also drew in her eyebrows darker with a biro which turned them blue. My Mum was cross with me! I wanted to make her look fashionable :confused:

I also remember one year I had an "aga". Made of tin plate and there were parafin sticks you could buy (like a small version of a firelighter) that could be put in the burners and lit. Don't remember if I actually managed to "cook" anything on it. I did see one a long time ago in a toy museum in Brighton. Can you imagine us getting anything like that now?
