OMG I remember that yellow dump truck trike thing (item 2, page 322) because one of the other kids at nursery got it before I did :(

However he pooed himself so I stole it back :D

Haha.. Type writers, Wog Boxes and record players..

But it's what's not in the catalogue.. Mobile Phones, iPods, Laptops, PC equipment and even CD players ..

How life was so simple in the pre-digital world..

Meh, that was the year I graduated from high school. I was 18 at the time.

I think Feek is up there with me, though so I don't feel TOO bad...

As it's the summer catalogue, I was 3. This makes me feel better as it was my 28th birthday 2 days ago. :D
