Best - my first laptop, for my 18th before I went to Uni. This was 13 years ago of course, when laptops weren't dime-a-dozen so it was a pretty big deal for someone who had only up until that point had a 2nd hand desktop with 15" CRT monitor . Either that or Mighty Max - Skull Mountain!! Yeeeaaah...!!




WORST... and only because of context, not lack of gratitude... I got £30 in a card from my dad for my 30th birthday. And why this sort of stung in context, is that for my sister's 30th she had a meal out... but she lives on an island... so on top of her present (which was worth more than £30 anyway) he would have spent at least £400 on her birthday (travel, hotel, meal etc.) but, really, it's also the effort involved and the fact that he actually bought a gift.

Three £10 notes. Such loved.
