Dream as a child....now you have adult money!

When I used to holiday in Devon/Dorset a lot as a child, I would see loads of folk with fat willy surf shack stuff, car stickers, jumpers etc and I always wanted something but never dared ask my parents to go as I knew my dad would say "but you can't even swim, let alone surf!". I never gave up that dream of one day walking into one of their shops and purchasing a hoodie and car sticker.....

At the age of exactly 45, I achieved it, in Newquay no less! £48 well spent to achieve something I could never as a teenager!

So my question to you, what did you always want but never could but now we have adult money, you went ahead and did the thing?!

Hurrah! Enjoy it!

When I was a kid there was one girl in my class at school who had everything, up to and including an ET with a light-up finger and a cuddly toy mogwai that turned inside-out to become a gremlin.

Every day we all took in flasks of heavily overwatered orange squash to drink at lunchtime, but not her. She had a soda stream, and took in her branded soda stream bottle of pineappleade or cherryade or appleade, which she told us was delicious but none of us were allowed to taste in order to verify deliciousness.

I bought myself a soda stream in 2020. I don't use it very often, but every time I do I think to myself "fuck you *spoiled girl name*, fuck you".

Not that I hold a grudge at all.

I still want a Neo-Geo games console, but it's unlikely to happen as originally they sold for about £600 with games costing between £100 & £300 each, and if eBay is anything to go by, they aren't actually much cheaper to get NOW

And did you then eat at Senor Dicks before partying in Dirty Berties?

I love this. Patience is a virtue. Unfortunately, that Mk 2 RS2000 that I craved as a teenager, is if anything, now more out of reach than it was then ??

I had a Soda Stream about 20 years ago. I used to see the adverts as a kid & really want one..

When I finally got one it was quite underwhelming, although I was once again able to experience fizzy Ribena for the first time since the old 1980s carbonated Ribena in a can inexplicably disappeared from shelves

As a teenager, I wanted a buddlejet printer and a 486 DX 66. Admittedly, I eventually got amuch mor epowerfull computer in my later teens, but I always wanted one.

The thing I most want form my youth (despite having my youth back) would be the Aeroplane form Tailspin. I just love the fantasy of owning that plane in real life, donning a leather jacket, a cap and flaying around distant lands.

Mine mostly gets used for fizzy vimto (and healing my deprived inner child, of course).

My first adult paypacket went on a pair of doc martens, that I had coveted for years

I found it worked best with popular brand juice drinks, like Ribena, Robinson's Barley Water, Vimto etc

Those flavoured 'syrups' that came with the soda steam were absolutely rank

yeah there

As a kid I always wanted to keep reptiles...

As an adult I just did it, and lovely as they where, realised the wisdom of my parents always having said no!

The first thing I bought with adult money was a nice mid range watch, from a jewellers. Still have it.

I was a strange child and always wanted a big glass and wood display cabinet like my grandparents had. BHF happened and I now have a much fancier version of them

Any branded icecream in single format from the shop freezer. Rather than a multipack “choc-ice” that we have at home…..

Clothes. As soon as I had money of my own I bought clothes in far too large quantities.

A whole mars bar. My mum used to cut mars bars in pieces and share them out. Every one of us bought whole mars bars as soon as we had money. I never buy them now though

When I was a kid and my mum used to take me to town we always used to walk past a furniture shop that had the Gabrielle designs paddington bears in the window.

I always wanted one but we weren't that well off so I never owned one.

As an adult I decided randomly that I would see if I could find them again and I managed to buy myself one on eBay.

Wasn't particularly cheap but he now stands on the sideboard.

Also he looks like Paddington is supposed to look and not like the modern bears seem to have become

I've got a lot of my childhood tv programmes on DVD and a collection of die-cast jets and helicopters.

Which is a lot smaller.
