Xmas 1984...
...was the happiest day of my young life up to that point.
Had gone to bed around 8pm. When my mum and dad were sure we were asleep, they crept in and took us out to the spare bedroom. They then decorated our bedroom in Fraggle Rock wallpaper and put us back in the room.
we were so excited when we woke up. My little brother got so pleased he was sick in his cornflakes.

Happy days.

Very random tale but I just though I'd share it.

And I am glad you did
Fraggle Rock wallpaper pffft...remembers own Danger Mouse wallpaper and gets sad a bit

We were finding random scraps of it during other refurbishments up until about 2002.

Ah, the nostalgia!

Ahhh
Junior's Thomas The Tank Engine bedroom was changed to a Cars theme while I was dragging him around the supermarket yesterday.

Happy little spud.

@osok
It's great when parents do things like that. I look back and realise how brilliant my parents are.
I don't think I'd have the imagination to do things like that if I have kids.

children are so creative themselves, you can't help catching it. Or nits

we got pippi longstockings wallpaper
we never found out why, as none of us had ever heard of her before. my brother had superman wallpaper, which he loved. us girls had to cover ours with kajagoogoo posters as quickly as possible.

i had freddy krueger posters put up as soon as we got a bigger house

The bit about your brother sicking into his cornflakes made me laugh with a mouthful of tea. Tea flavoured computer now...
