YES sorry for shouting . A train set I was such a tom boy used to have to go and play round the neighbours , he was such a wimp but a fantastic track

just before Christmas when I was about 9 I found an action man with dinghy behind the wardrobe and was thrilled. On Christmas morning - NO action man!!!!! It turned out mum was hiding it for her friend's son - I was GUTTED and never got one!

Not a toy but I always wanted a yellow pair of flipflops

I always wanted a new bike, my brother had one, but I only ever got a second hand one. Still laugh about it now with mum and dad. Jojo x

I always wanted a meccano set, my brothers both had a set but wouldn't let me play with them. Spiteful sods.

An a la carte kitchen...little kitchen with saucepans, sink etc. Bought my 6 yr old daughter one for last Christmas, but it doesnt get played with! Shes more into arts n crafts. My grandma & grandad, rest their souls, bought me some lovely presents tho, like a dolls house, a tent, and a big pram :-) Lol Jackie.

Computer Blonde: We've got a redundant Mr Frosty in the cupboard under the sink if u want it lol. Only been there 5 yrs...

Yeah a Johnny seven gun but never got one Paul

I was a child in the 50s and there was much fascination for things that were 'different' in those non-tech days. A neighbour's daughter had a toy that we loved to be allowed to play with at her house. I think it was called Princess Ann's bedroom and was a large box structure made of wood, which opened out to form a room with wardrobe full of dolls clothes and best of all a little bed that folded down from the wall. I don't suppose for one minute that it was anything like a royal bedroom ( and that may not have even been it's name) but it was very special to us. More up to date My daughter often says she always wanted a Froggy piano, ...where the frogs' mouths opened as the notes were pressed. Gwyn

mr frosty,mum said they was a waste of money.....really wanted one!!!!!

Just before Christmas last year my daughter (35)saw a Cabbage Patch Doll, said ' I always wanted one of those, but never got it' Guess what she found under her Christmas tree?

I always wanted a bike I knew I would never get one because my mum was a widow with three children. But one day when I was 12 I did get a bike a second hand one which my mother paid 25 shillings for was the best of all days I used to ride it everywhere Margaret x

I always wanted a horse, I kept on and on one year hoping my mother and father would give in by christmas time. but about 2 months before christmas my father left us so my mother had to explain that she wouldn't have as much money to spend on me that year, (Oh well bang goes the horse). When I woke up on christmas morning amongst my presents was a hard hat for riding, NO i didn't get the horse but my mother had bought the hat ready to go with the horse before my father left. I did use my hat though --- when I had riding lessons a few times.

Mr Frosty.
