Hi Ann, I can't think of a game like that either with the dustbin. Carol, was it your knickers that you got your elastic from. heeheehee. Yep, we use to make dens and we tried a tree house but it didn't work. love Malcolm. xxxx I'm trying to understand the game where Carol stood in a dustbin as that doesn't ring any bells. I lived in the country and we had loads of dens, tree houses and seem to remember playing cowboys and indians. We lived opposite a big steep hill in a valley outside halifax called Shibden and used to sledge a lot in winter as it snowed a lot more in those days. I had a pet goat called Janie and she used to pull my sledge up the hill and then we'd all sledge down followed by the goat and dogs. Don't think we had much time to watch much tele. Love, Anne.
