I want never gets

[4getmenot]

Mum always used to say to me 'I want never gets' I always wanted those clarke's shoes with the key in the bottom :-( What did you want when you were younger but never got?

I remember an advert for shoes with a fairy princess in it, I can only remember hazy details, wanted some so much but don't remember ever getting them.

Oh and one of those A La Carte kitchens.

thick shiny hair :-( never got it, I had the wrong parents lol
My mum used to say that to remind us to say "I would like" or "please may I"

to this day it makes me shudder to hear kids in shops saying "I want"

My younger brother used to get loads of great stuff like lego and meccano :(

Barbie never quite measured up. I actually gave a Sindy doll a crew cut.

thats the one with the key in them!!!! I want them lol. My mate was going to buy her child some shoes lately that had a little dolly in the bottom, I said 'whats the point she will only scuff the bottom and then you wont see the doll, not that you can see them when you're walking in them anyway' Probably why my mum never brought me the key shoes

[lardhelmet]

Ooh I know! All that floppy black hair and moodyness! Wouldn't say no now, to be fair! It's OK - OH is in the bath!

I always wanted a dog, but was told they were too much trouble. As soon as I left home I got a dog.

Funny story tho about that. My mother came to visit me and put her fur coat over bottom of stair rail, said dog dragged coat onto floor and humped it right in front of her. Other time my dad put his hat on back of sofa, hat fell on floor, dog chewed hat to bits. So moral of this is, don't let dogs know you don't like them.
