My Chatty Kathy doll was my pride and joy, also one called April Showers which was a baby doll sat in a little yellow bath with attached showerhead, when you filled the bath up with water & squeezed the little pump thin the shower actually worked - kept me amused for hours

I had a building set called "Bako" with wall blocks and windows and doors and roofs. There were flat windows and curved windows and all different sorts of things to add embellishments. You started off by putting metal sticks into holes in the base board and then sliding other things onto them. I suppose it was for budding architects. I don't know whatever happened to it. I would have loved to get additional kits to make bigger and more interesting buildings but my Mum & Dad never did buy me any more.

No Tressie was like a cheap Cindy or Barbie. She had a screw in the back of her head, which lengthend or shortend her hair when you turned it.

By the way I didn't really have one, but I remember my cousin's Tressie.

Oh, I forgot to thank you for the loan of that first pair Neil, I still think black leather G strings aren't really for newbies to it though....

I had Super Girls World, she had blonde hair, her eyes changed colour (if you hit her on the side of her head) and she came with hair dye, we had a lot of Sindy stuff between the three of us, teeny tiny tears, I had a Simon as well and loved it, we also used to have sweet shops and post offices which were great.
