Hehe! I love the Babycham one
Baz, your comment about the Dustbuster puts me in the mind of my brother. He bought mam a potato chipper one year. I just can't understand why she wasn't happy
My sister and I were allowed to drink Babycham when we went ballroom dancing with our mum and her best friend each Wednesday night. My dear old mum didn't think it was alcoholic,hence we used to get very tipsy, and had to pretend to be sober, as we used to have 5 or 6 each time we went. We were 14/15 at the time. That was in the early 70's.

.... I bet you had it in that special glass too Sezit
LOL Sezit, yeah, it was my 'big thing' to have a glass of port or a Babycham on Christmas Day. I was being naughty and having a grown up drink which mam and dad let me have
Mind you, I used to get a drink of either my mam's Double Max out of her pyrex cup every night before I went to bed, or a drink of dad's Brown Ale out of the glass

XXXXX Mwah, Mwah, Mwah.........I hate it when I can't remember something....you have made me a very happy woman xx
I love a bit of nostalgia. Especially at Christmas.
Youv'e just reminded me about a present I got for christmas, that drawing thing, it was an extendable arm thing, and you put the pointer on a picture, then you put your pencil in a hole and when you moved this pointer thing it "drew" the picture for you. Well that was what it was supposed to do, it actually just messed up your drawing paper. I could never get it to work.

Me too, and Sezit's right. Mine never worked either. I got it off the same brother that bought my mam a potato chipper 
I loved the Christmas that I got a Sindy doll. I got a blonde Sindy - my sister got the brunette - i got an ice skating outfit - my sister got the riding outfit.
HAPPY DAYS! and there was also a Bunty annual for my sis and Judy for me - Christmas was FAB
