0-6 All Tied Up - Literally!

My earliest memory is of being tied to a lamp post.I was 4 apparantly and some boys came to the door and
asked if i could go out to play.They were a couple of years older and mum obviously thought it was ok,and not at all suspect!They convinced me to let them tie me up (i was only 4) then ran off leaving me screaming till a neighbour released me.
I was accident prone in the first 4 years,I broke my arm, I think someone pushed me down a hill in a pram and let go!And my ankle broke in the pedal of a trike.
Dad played darts in a pub team.He had a board in the dining room.I remember us standing on dining chairs to be high enough to play.One day I will have a house big enough to have a room to play darts!
We lived in a 3 bed house,2 parents,5 children and vast numbers of pets.
My brother loved wrestling and I have memories of being made to submit,held in boston crabs(i think that`s what it was) and being Daddy splashed! He was younger than me (he was about 4, me about 6) but he took it serious and he did hurt.I went into retirement at an early age!
