London's calling - don't you dare pick up the phone
It is possible I have seen the last of the coffee shop forever. I certainly have for quite some time. You see they're renovating the week after Easter. I'm not working anymore before Easter, so I'm glad they told me about the renovating as soon as they knew. Actually, I've been picking up tid bits of information for weeks now, and I was wondering when it would all actually happen. Hopefully by the time they reopen I will be nannying. Here's hoping.
Anyway, time for a trip down memory lane. Here is a list of things of the 90s that remind me of my childhood:
Sandpits
The gap in the fence where we climbed through
wearing large bows in my hair
stick on earrings
tazos
playing Star Wars
Eating 2 minutes noodles with butter and parsley instead of the flavour
My Little Pony
Big fringes on little kids
watching the Wizard of Oz over and over and hiding when the wicked witch showed up
the tapes of play school songs (my favourite being: Hungry, hungry I am starving, table, table here I come...)
Leggings and fleecy jumper sets you'd get every winter
Coles selling clothing
Target having the cups of lollies - you used to pack in as many as you could
Bugs Bunny Pez dispensers
The Beetle Juice ride at movie world
The Edward Scissor Hands theme song
Fawlty Towers being on TV really late (probably around 8:30)
Tea Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom
The Chronicles of Narnia on television
Bath salts and those little liquid filled things that would burst when you put them in the bath
Saying "not" or "but" at the end of every sentence. We don't do that now, but.
The Bugs Bunny TV dinner sets you used to get a sticker in. McCain's I think they were. What ever happened to them?
Ice Magic on your ice cream
That's all or I'll go on forever and ever and ever. The floor is open now, hope this has sparked some memories of your childhood.

All of the above :-) We have some great childhood memories :-) I'm going, "Yes I remember that!" Except I don't remember Coles selling clothes. But the old library in this shed near our old house......the junk shop in Marsden Park - the voice over going "Welcome to Marsden Park shopping centre" and that place that sold spring rolls opposite Coles...ah, memories.
