SO so many things.. :-(
My mum is a great woman.. but she was always chucking away stuff I loved..

There was the little red table and chairs set me and my sister had had FOREVER they tried to sell at a car boot sale that I hid back in the boot (and that was fairly recently too!!) and my first ride on car thing, that was a little dump truck that was front heavy and used to fire me off all the time.

Once my mum tried to throw out a tartan lumberjack type shirt. Admitted looking back now its hideous and made me look like a boy but I LOVED that shirt (f*ck knows why! It had holes in it and was big and baggy on me and smelled funny!) I found it in the bin and took it out and washed it!! It did go a while later, mum obviously got wise and waited till I was away!

But the worst thing my mum threw out was a collection of mint condition Beano comics from the early days, really old ones I'd happened across in the back of a primary school cupboard years ago; I'd been storing in the attic. She called me and said she'd chucked a box of my stuff and I could have cried cos those comics were already worth a fair bit.. they'd have been worth a fortune eventually! Gutted..

Also before I forget, the funniest one was my younger sister...

When my mum was due to have our youngest sister me and my younger sister were sent on holiday with my Aunt and Uncle. My sis used to have a security blanket and it was a bit gross but she'd go spare if it was taken from her, and that was just when it was washed. My uncle took it off her on the second night and she was hysterical, she remained that way until my dad came and got us.

To this day I believe my uncle still uses that thing as an oil rag, my sister adopted a furry stuffed toy instead...

Length.. years of loss and a good solid eight hours of complete hysteria from my little sis...!
