Where are they now?

Things you had as a kid.

A large collection of erasers, which you'd wear down regularly. Now I find one eraser lasts me ten years.

What else?

Ink pens. And cartridges which for some reason I loved breaking and dripping ink from onto blotting paper, to watch it spread.

I used to do that with my fountain pen and blotting paper!

I use a rubber in about a year, and I'm fussy over them, quite like white plastic erasers, and, of course, putty rubber for delicate stuff.

But then I am a pen snob too, Edding Profipens, which are disposable technical pens. I love Rotrings but they break so easily and they are so expensive, plus they are very, very rigid, something a little more flexible works better for me.

I use stationary and cards quite a lot too, for thank you's and little notes.

It was a personal revelation when I realised that blotting paper was meant for something other than having ink dripped onto it.
