I remember this! Me and my friend found £10 on the floor and spent the whole lot on footie stickers! (we were 9). We sorted out between us and then split the ones that both of us had, went so school and sat down with all the other lads - I was the only girl in my year who collected them - and: got, got, need, need 'I'll give ya x AND y for z!!!'

CONKERS. My friend and I devised a way to cheat the system and rack up experience for our conkers. One of us would forfeit immediately, alternating each time for 10 minutes until each of our conkers had won about 50 matches each. How smart we were.

- scoobie strings
- gel pens and 'smellies'
- pokemon cards and 'shinies'
- conkers
- tamagotchis and robo pets
- gameboys
- hula hoops
- slinkies
- keyrings
- homemade pencil pots
- bebo
- myspace
- msn
- piczo
- those spinning tops
- hula hoops

All of these but especially this.
