Wow, I remember these Mrs P, used to love them as a child.

Does anyone remember kiku talcum powder in the yellow ball container and also aqua manda?  Probably this is more 70s?

Dyan, I used to love icebreakers. x

UMMM so do I 

[grandy]

Oh I had a kiku talc yellow ball. I was very proud of it!!!

Susan I remember the chews, because i found a penny on the ground after the fairground had left and my cousin suggested buying four of them and having two each!! X

I loved Kiku and Aqua Manda! Wish you could still get it!

[pixie]

You can get kiku on e-bay, not sure about aqua manda.  Most men and boys wore Brute!  Tree tops orange squash.  The design of these bottles were the basis for the lava lamps.   Boys shooting caps from guns, quite scared of them! 
I remember bar 6 in an orange wrapper?  Pink panther chocolate - yuk.  I loved those milk tray bars too.  There was strawberry, fudge, and some horrible lime flavour, turkish delight flavour?  Frys chocolate cream bar.  Glad caramac still around must get down to pound store. 

My friend had some nice Avon lotions called pretty peach in a nice bottle with a peach lid, and also some creams with round the world faces on from Avon, but can't recall the name

Yep Pixie, Bar 6 was in an orange wrapper..

We used to play a game with a row of elastic bands tied together. 2 girls would put them round their waists (it was fully joined all round) and a 3rd girl had to jump on them and over them at 3 different heights. Ankle, knee and hip high...does anyone remember that or am I rambling?!

[Bette]

Oh yes - Elasties.  I never got beyond ankle height but the good ones even did shoulder height!

We still play this in my primary school - I think that a lot of the old fashioned playground games are now being played again. This is not my school but we do play the games http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/studentssite/playgroundgames.htm

You can still get Aqua Manda perfume at feathergills.co.uk.  They have lots of vintage.

I have Aqua Manda as it is one on the scents I loved and stuck in my mind all these years.

Elasties - we called them Chinese ropes at our school.  We were still playing them at secondary.  I managed up to waist but not too hot at shoulder high.  Boys would line up to watch us girls waiting to catch a glimpse of our suspenders!   

I had Kiku perfume & powder puff.  Moved onto to Gingham - the one that smelled like Brut aftershave.  I used to find Brut such a turn-on it was quite embarrassing.  No man was safe!
