I rip my CDs to my laptop so I can play what I want when I want without having to keep getting up to change CD.
I used to watch I Dream of Jeanie, but I only saw some of the other two. I watched Mission Impossible when I was little too, the original series. Loved that!
We always had a washing machine, but when I was a kid we had an old twin tub. We've never had a tumble drier because there's nowhere to put it and we had a microwave eventually, but I don't have one now. Growing up, we had a fridge with a tiny ice compartment at the top, but no freezer.
I remember going to record shops at the weekend, buying LPs. Once I went the day before I was going on holiday, bought the new LP by my favourite singer, took it home, recorded it onto cassette and took my battery operated cassette player on holiday with me so I could listen to the tape.
My mum grew up in London during the Blitz. During air raids everyone took refuge in the rifle range under the Drill Hall where her dad was caretaker. They had no TV back in the thirties. No fridge, no phone, laundry was done by hand and the record player was a wind-up gramophone! She walked to school across bomb sites.
