Re: Christmas Presents (the best and the worst)

The best and longest lasting was a grey‘Fame’ tracksuit.
It is a long time ago...well you guessed that because it is a long time since ‘Fame’ was popular.
I used to go to step classes three times a week and this track suit was a boon.....and I wore it until it almost fell to bits.

The worst was a little hand held Dirt Devil.....bought for my by the man in my life.
I had said that this little vacuum looked perfect for getting the stairs done.
For some time before Christmas my other half kept excitedly telling me he had bought me something really ‘special’....so much so that I could hardly wait for Christmas Day.

I should have known better....he does not have a good record when choosing gifts....this was no exception.
He almost needed a skilled surgeon to remove it from a bodily orifice.....and I would not have used Vaseline to get it in there.


Footnote: this machine is still in use to this day.
