    No. Where would I keep him? What if I forgot to feed him?

    Thank goodness for that B3. I wouldn't have slept tonight for thinking about it. Had enough of those just lately. Can we now look forward to an in detail review to make us madly jealous?

    Bridgedale socks. Much much too expensive to buy for yourself but a little piece of heaven to wear. I've asked for them enough times now that I get to wear some every day 😉

    I love Bridgedale socks, partly because they come in proper sizes, not "one size fits all" which only works if you have middling-sized feet. I treat myself to a few pairs most years, preferably if I can find them in a sale somewhere online. I don't care if they're last season's colours if they're the right size :)

    I use them for walking, and yes, they're expensive, but that's because they work.
    It's vital to have the right footwear [of all kinds]  if you're on a hill for 7 or 8 hours, or longer   :)

    Glad you got a result @B3 ;)

    For Christmas I’d be happy with a wheelbarrow of horse dung.

    For a recent birthday, I asked for an expensive ( famous brand ) cordless vacuum cleaner. Yes it was much lighter and a doddle to use, but OH loves it, and has taken over the bulk of the vacuuming! Result!

    I feel kind of the same. I recently got one after decades of having a Henry with concrete shoes. The new one is such a doddle I almost enjoying vacuuming. It's such a revelation. Game changer.

    A Sonicare toothbrush also (any model) - worth adding to the list!

    Helluva job to wrap though  @Lyn  :D
    I've had a cordless vac for years. Infinitely better than a plug in, although I had to replace the gear doodah that holds the handle in place a few months ago. It wasn't expensive, about £12, and I got it in a few days, direct from Gtech. They were cheaper than anywhere else too, which is always unusual. Excellent customer attention as well.
