Most special item you bought as a teenager

My special item was a suede coat too! I saw it in a posh shop in the centre of Manchester, it was a creamy coffee colour with side splits and it cost 30 guineas. I had to save up for weeks!
Thank goodness it was still there when I went to buy it, or I would have been heartbroken
Never thought to leave a deposit!

I had to wait until I was 23 for my suede coat. It was bought with my first income tax rebate when I started teaching. It was navy blue and beautifully soft. It was still around when I came back from Africa aged 30, though I think my sisters had been wearing it in my absence!

Having pondered this one - I can say it was the watch I bought during my RAF service in Cyprus. A Felca sportmaster it was, and (gasp) you didn't have to wind it up - it was automatic!

It cost me £50, and was supplied by a Cypriot local who who ran a soft-drink and sandwick kiosk on the base!

Sadly it was stolen off my wrsty in the West End many years later.

'wist', not wrsty - WHEN DO WE GET AN EDIT BUTTON?

Been asking for years...

Wist, feetle

I now want a beautiful soft suede coat or jacket! I should have bought one long before now, why on earth didn't I?

A cultured pearl necklace. I was given a scholarship, but the funds came late and back-dated, so rather than waste the money, i had been lusting for one, so I got it!!! I still wear it constantly.

And they never go out of fashion!

I bought an Afghan coat in the late 60's which stank to high heavens if it got wet. Thought I'd arrived!

My DH had one too, Katek, and was wearing it on the rainy day I first met him and knew instantly that he was the man I would marry. Stinking or not.

My first platform shoes, strappy and turquoise.
My first eye shadow, Yardley and purple. That was my only Yardley purchase as I then went onto Outdoor Girl and Miners. From Woolies of course.

I think the goat was still in mine Maggie!

With my first pay packet I splashed out and bought a pair of mustard leather sling backs from Lily and Skinner for sixty nine and eleven. I loved them.

A pair of little silver stud ratings with malachite set I to them. I am still looking for another pair!

seacliff sixty nine and eleven? Cor, you were pushing the boat out, I used to pay half that.
