It's not that I lost them but the ones I remember with fondness, I've managed to buy again on places like eBay. My last purchase was a little mirrored dressing table, only about 4 inches tall, with little wooden chinese figures on. I've aslo managed to find a couple of my favourite books - one was in New Zealand! I'm now looking for a leather camel I had . I've seen one in a show case in the castle up the road, so I think I may have a fruitless search on this one. My husband thinks I'm mad.
My one regret is that when I left home, I left my old Hornby train set in the shed. It was going rusty and when my parents moved, they chucked it out. It would have been worth a few bob now!
I still have a few of my old dollies and softies - Teddy's lost his leg now (my brother sat on him - gee, fifty years ago!) but three or four others are still lurking up in the loft somewhere.

I do remember being distraught - aged about 3 - when my mother gave away a stuffed dog to something like Barnados, to help other little children. I didn't play with it, it sat on a shelf, but I still loved it. Mother tried to make us selfless by thinking of others, but even at that young age I would have liked to have made that decision myself - but when I went to my bedroom, it had gone. I still remember how upset I was, Mum didn't realise how attached to it I was. It's strange the things you remember from infancy.
When I was little my favourite thing was a little brass bell on a red ribbon. Sad I know but it was in the days of Chuck Berry's My Ding a Ling. I loved that bell with all my heart then when I was 5 we moved house and my mum said it got lost in the flitting. Sniff, sniff.
Years later she confessed to having thrown it out!!!!!!! :'(
