    A chain to hang my glasses round my neck....notice a theme here?

    Not the most exciting presents to get when aged 7 or 8, especially for a little girl not particularly happy about having to wear specs. All received from a rather spiteful family member who always referred to me as "a strange child". The worst thing was having to write the ruddy thank you letters for the gifts!

    ** Okay, Alikay....it was a long time ago...let it go**:D

  • My MIL once gave me a hand held vacuum for Xmas. "Perfect for getting the cobwebs off your curtains" she sniffed as I tried to look grateful. I never forgave her, nor did I remove offending cobwebs
