I got twinkle when I was little, I loved the one about the teddies hospital.
Later it was Mandy and Judy, later still Mizz, Patches, Just 17 (where I found out you could get pregnant 1st time!) and Jackie.
My Aunt got Bunty until she was 21 as my Nanna loved to read wee slavey.

can anyone remember Diana? it was a sort of midway between bunty and jackie. My older brother got the victor and the lion and my younger bro got jack n jill

Eagle. Beano, Dandy, Wizard, Rover, Adventure, Radio Fun(?)

Bell blair...... I have a contemporary! So excited!!!

And I remember the cut out dolls.

My sister and I were sent a parcel (1948/9) from my mum's auntie Etta in America. She sent us loads of lovely colouring books, and a paper doll of Margaret O'Brian (remember her?).
The doll was almost as big as my sister was... 7 yrs... and we had such fun with them.

Oh I did have lovely childhood.
thanks mummy....

Yes deanna I remember them

I had, the GIRL & GIRLS CRYSTAL.
They were girls stories, but with few pictures. They looked very much like my mum's ORACLE & MIRACLE. just stories with few pictures.

I absolutely adored them. I could not wait each week until they came out. THEN.... they were turned into 'picture stories'.... just another comic.
I was so hurt. I never bought them again.
that was the early 50's.
Please someone tell me you remember??? ;-0)

JAckie Bunty were my 2. but had to sneek jackie into house as parents did not approve. How times have changes ah ah ah

member the cut out and dress dolls

My elder sister would have the Girl comic, my elder brother had Eagle - and I got the Beano and Dandy, We was posh and had our papers delivered - and so our comics were all laid out on the table when we came down for breakfast, Tuesday mornings I think.

I got Bunty and Judy weekly, then the Jackie and Osmonds World when I got into my teens!! Still got some in mums attic!!

Bunty, Judy, Diana, Jackie, those were the days, eagerly awaiting the next instalment and rushing to the newsagents to get the comics - great, I went on ebay and got a load of these annuals from the 1960's - won't part with em LOL

I had Beezer before moving on to Jackie. Strange when I found out that "Jackie" was the Jacqueline Wilson who was writing the books my daughter was reading

It seemed all so innocent then. lol

My Mum saves me First and Yours.

The NME was always a few pence too much to pay, I couldn't have the sweets if I bought that so never really got into it.

'Oh Boy' remember that one? I used to love the problem pages...the 'problems' were mostly about unrequited love..aahhhhh

I learnt everything from that mag, my mum didn't tell me anything!

i thought i was so grown up when my mum said i could have jackie to read lol

Joanne,
It's mandatory in our family to have Beano and Dandy Annuals every year too. They do a joint one too.

What happened to Summer Specials??

Ohh TJ, I thought I was the nuts when I could sing all the words to Puppy Love, learnt from that very booklet. LOL
