NOSTALGIA

Also in the year I was born there was a heat wave in England and in Europe I think. It was really hot. The prices of things then: A house cost $124.348.00 A car cost $8.243.00 Milk cost 2 dollars and 14 cents. Gas cost 1 dollar and 8 cents. A loaf of bread cost $1.29 and a stamp cost 25 cents.

The weights of my mum's children: Me (oldest): 10 pounds 8 ounces. Hannah (middle): 8 pounds 8 ounces Jonathan (youngest) 10 pounds 15 and a half ounces. He weighed more than me!

Favorite Toys. This is just some leftover information that I got from my parents rather from the internet site. When I was young about 3 or 4 to be exact I used to play with things called Thunderbirds. They were toys. There were Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. They were aircraft that rescued crashing planes and stuff. They were heroes of all time. I still have the videos of them.(and don't you go off thinking that I still watch them!) But then the toys were really hard to get hold of because suddenly everyone liked them and the company didn't make enough toys because they didn't think everyone would like them. So lots of people bought the few supplies and there weren't much left but my mum managed to get hold of Tracy island. (Which is where the Thunderbirds lived.)
