    My mate posted that on MySpace haha, it's great :) I especially like (and remember) the stick on earrings. When I took them off I'd randomly stick them on the nearest place. My bed and dressing table ended up covered in the things.

    Me too, Indrid :(.

    And it worries me that I can say "yes" to all but three of those, and that's because I'm crap at remembering dances :o.

    Well, I only said "yes" to a few, but some of these things didn't exist here.
    As for the Macarena, I was never popular enough to learn it. :p

    Ballerina, that'd make you a 90's baby, so you won't remember the excellence of the beginning ;).

    Not that I do :o.

    I do remember watching the first ever episode of Teletubbies though :D.

    I (kind of) remember the beginning... I was 4, and we'd gone to a huge (or so it seemed to me) party my uncle did for the change of the decade. I remember watching my cousin playing with his puppy (I was afraid of dogs at the time) and me playing with a small piano that was my present while watching the grown-ups dance.

    I said yes to the vast majority of that.
    YOU REMEMBER THE CRAZE OF YO-YOS, TROLLS & TAMAGOTCHIS AND DIGIMONS.

    Digimons? Digimons?! Pokemon was the biggest craze of the 90s if not ever! Digimon weren't in the same league. It wasn't even the same sport. Digimon was in a completely different ballpark!

    Pokemon's were only a craze if you were a kid and I was nearly in my teens when that craze came about. The biggest craze of the 90's for me was mobile phones, you know the one's you could actually fit in your pocket.

    I'm from more of a Transformers and Turtles generation.

    The 90's were all about dance music for me, and in particular hardcore. :heart: Got my first Mobile phone in 98 aswell.

    I was always waiting for that craze to end because everyone could do all the tricks and I couldn't :crying: Plus everyone got bigger, shinier YoYos and I still had my cheap crappy one from the Pound Shop.

    FUN HOUUUUUSE it's a whole lot of fun.

    I loved trolls, but they had to be Dam original and not Russ. I loved lil babies too, anyone remember them?

    I had a proper pudding bowl hair cut as a kid.

    Global hypercolour t shirts that changed colour..bermuda shorts (they were banned by my school :( )

    Mood rings

    We didn't have literacy hour, we had ERIC (everybody read in class)

    Used to read point horror, sweet valley high and babysitters club. Not goosebumps.

    Went ice skating every Saturday to Solihull ice rink or Planet Ice and lined up in the middle to dance to Macarena and Saturday Night
