Modern kids have smartphones and tablets.

When I was grewing up, the best time waster was rubbing glue onto your hands and peeling it off.

What do you remember doing?

I used to do that as well!

I would also take my mums mirror off the wall and hold it out flat in front of me then walk all round the house looking into the mirror so it felt like I was walking on the ceilings, having to step over the top of door frames and looking at stairs upside down is scary!

I also copied the noise of the Hoover if anyone was hoovering cos your voice sort of blends in with the Hoover sounds! Used to steal the plastic off my Nan's fags and put it over my lips and blow so the plastic tickled my lips!

When I wasn't doing any classes I was a very bored annoying child!

Ah yeah the glue thing! I remember as a kiddie at primary school I used to deliberately cover my hands in it so I could peel it off on the walk home!

And if course playing football in the playing field until it was too dark to see, jumpers for goalposts and all that!

We used to spend hours across the fields in the Summer, literally all day making dens in the trees from the hay bales etc, no consideration to weirdos or paedos etc back then (even though you could argue that was height of such things happening!)

Happy days, oh to go back to them!

Dressing up. Playing pirates in an upside down table ship. Making my own Jolly Rodger flag on the Singer sewing machine. Making dens out of cardboaed boxes indoors. And out of palettes, plastic sheeting and anything we could find on bits of wasteland, we'd make our dens in the woods. Making go-carts out of pieces of plywood, nails, pramwheels and u-bolts, then hurtle down the hill at the local park using the bushes at the bottom as brakes

We still have it, despite the fact that all the buttons are what could politely be termed 'vintage' and are unlikely to ever be used. It figured in too many games to get thrown out.

We had an Atari but it was for wet weather only - as long as it wasn't tipping it down we were all chased out to 'play out'. What we played depended on who was about.

There was a lot of Evil Kinevil with homemade ramps and the younger kids (generally me) substituting for buses.

We had a rope swing over a duke and dug out some underground dens.

We also tried making explosives but had to stop that after we blew up someone's new built in oven a week after their much saved for kitchen had been fitted

We were made of tougher stuff back then! The amount of bruises, cuts and scars I got as a kid from just playing normally outside would probably draw the attention of social services today the kids are so mollycoddled

I was a weird child (especially for a girl haha) I used to build stuff... All the time!! My dad bought me a proper tool kit for my 6th birthday and I constantly used things I found on the streets to make things... Like bits of breeze block or old pipe where the council hadn't cleared up after building works, or scrap wood and metal sheets, coloured nylon rope etc. Wind chimes, picture frames, wooden cut outs that I'd paint animals on, bracelets (made from braiding ropes and melting the ends together) generally I was a very resourceful and artistic child haha

My biggest love of all though was by far my mountain bike - I was never seen anywhere without it and my parents would allow me to go wherever I wanted if I had it where I had to stay within the estate on foot lol

It had been raining and I fell in up to my knees still sinking further - no phones to call for help, i sunk nearly to my hips before My friends managed to help me out - mum wasn't happy when I came home having lost one of her £90 DC trainers because I had to abandon it in the clay haha

We used to go scrumping for cars. Such a laff sneaking into the NCP "orchard" and running off with a couples of rosy red GTI's under our stone-washed 501's, fond memories of the red faced attendant close on our heals! Heady days indeed!

we played all those and another called hares and hounds

we used to pinch the ropes off the back of wagons in the local yard for the rope swings as we had 2 on the go

one was deadly as at highest point was 25ft in air if it snapped you landed on stones or the concrete fence bollards

the other swing we played knifey first person sticks knife in ground other person grabs it and on go or return of swing sticks it back into ground

we also built an 8ft dam in woods near stream we could move some rocks in them days as kids

stone rocks got moved blocking rds often

the stones was massive but we still moved them as kids

oh and cardboard and old suitcases using them on the steep grass verges as great slides at some lick of speed down them on railway tunnel and also at steep pylon hills

railway tunnel walking through it that 1 mile tunnel was fun at best of times we got chased a few times

winter was on sledges and the metal ones was deadly on the grass slopes

we also pinched the lead of roofs and weigh them in often

We made bows and arrows. Big ones that you had to fire by lying on your back with the bow across your feet, and the arrows were about 5 feet long.

Made chinese arrows that we could get to a distance of 30 or 40 metres.

We used to buy extra long peashooters and sit in our den up a hawthorn tree in the park firing berries at anyone who came near.

I used to make chinese throwing stars for me and my mates, using some 1/8 " plate steel that I found in the shed. My dad kept wondering why it was getting smaller.

Playing knifey from a rope swing.

Not one of us ever " had their eye out"!

Our son was enthusiastically picking his nose in the passenger seat as I drove him somewhere, when I told him off he said " it's ok mum, I'm putting it in my pocket"

often think about the difference between my summer holidays and my kids - we used to as a group, go to the park on our bikes - carrier bag with butties and bottle of squash - house keys and maybe money for ice cream - all this stuff would be dumped in a heap - no bike locks - and we would go off and play leaving it - not a soul would touch the bikes -nor take the money or keys - nowadays kids are pushed off their bikes and bikes ridden away - sad how times have chnged
