Goodness knows why, but anyway we have 1 pillow case left from a duvet set bought 34 years ago, it's yellow and I had sewn red thread on the overlap bit cos my sister in law whom we lived with at the time had the same that way we knew which was ours. |

We were looking through photos taken 40 years ago and my daughter said she liked the dress I was wearing. I was able to tell her exactly where I bought it and how much I paid for it :-) |

The coloured thread to identify items reminds me that way back in 1960s when I went away to college, I knew that laundry drying facilities were shared in each hostel. |

When my son was about 8 he went on a football fortnight with his school, his clothes had his name tag sewn in anyway, but for his boots and shoes I used a soldering iron to melt his name in those. :-D |
