people, posted by a really boring person.

In 1963 I had a cat called Twinkle. It died.

As boring as anything could possibly be.

In 1969 I left school and kept my cookery text book.

Now , now you aren't being boring enough lol :)

SueMaid I have my cookery book from school also, it was the 'Stork ' (margarine) cookbook.

Amanda , Twinkle was black and white...most of our cats were back then, though I've had one tabby since, and a tabby and white, and a grey cat called 'Smokey' who was a stray hit by a car, not expected to survive but mum nursed him back to health...he had brain damage so was a bit 'vague' at times...fitted in well with the family lol.

Rach' was it still or sparkling?

Libby I have an apron I made when i was six...I hated sewing.

Sheila I used to read Twinkle, they gave little bracelets on the cover, do you remember lol.

I just dropped two pegs while hanging out the washing.

lol SueMaid, was forgetting where you are for a minute...I was about to say that hanging the washing out in the dark isn't boring lol

I'm not surprised you are dropping pegs Sue , it can't be easy to type and hang out washing at the same time .

My Mum cheated in a Twinkle competition , she drew a picture and put my name on it ( aged 6 ) I won a Tresse doll ; O

I'm soooo boring I can hang out clothes and type at the same time.
