Lucky bugger I never had a bike as a child. I wish Childline was around when I was little,I'd have reported my (divorced) parents.

I always remember a Christmas present from an Auntie

I was (and still am) thrilled by aeroplanes

My Auntie bought me a big Airfix model. It was about 12 inches long when made up

It was unboxed and assembled before Mum even stirred

I applied the decals and left it on the hearth to dry off, then ran upstairs to get Mum up and drag her downstairs to see what I'd made

I was proper chuffed with myself

Thing is, when we got back downstairs, what I'd made was a huge mound of bubbling molten plastic

Yes, I'd left it too close to the fire and it had melted all over the hearth and dripped down onto the carpet

I was distraught and to say Mum was unimpressed was an understatement

Sindy horse, with the stable and car.

A jewellery box my uncle gave me, he'd also popped a bracelet inside, along with a necklace

That was my first 'grown up' present.

I got the Tomahawk I was too little for the Chopper.

My cousin got that... But she did give it to me a year later
