Those who said nice things about my writing get extra polly pocket points :) Didn't realise that these darling dolls - six of whom I've just rescued from the garden after an apparent mass suicide from the terrace. In fact, throwing them to their doom was Aidan's idea of fun. See, even boys get some satisfaction out of these darling dolls. expatkat - I'd no idea that they had been around so long - they've aged incredibly well; I suspect cosmetic surgery. Gill - identify completely with the shoes going up the vacuum cleaner; trying not to make PP shoeless adds an extra frisson of excitment to an otherwise mundane and relentless chore. Samuel - you are so wrong about Barbie. She's boring. When was the last time you changed her hair (as opposed to hairstyle) like you can with some of the Poly Pockets?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840475795135915167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-45576055941390798412008-07-22T18:54:00.000+02:002008-07-22T18:54:00.000+02:00Hi Jo - thanks for stopping by my blog.Wow, Polly ...Hi Jo - thanks for stopping by my blog.<BR/>Wow, Polly has grown since I knew her. From the pics she appears to be of a size that doesn't get sucked up the hoover! We still have all the mini Polly Pockets (which were major choking hazards) from 10yrs ago. Time to clear out the closet I think.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085577423870971279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-77067971635047970912008-07-22T13:34:00.000+02:002008-07-22T13:34:00.000+02:00Hi and thanks for popping by my blog.
