    I suppose my best was a FastTrax, that little dude was quick but I broke it in record time :(

    This must be one of the best, it was organised for a Danish bus driver by the bus company he worked for whose HR department must be working overtime

    Soppy i know, but my dog who was 14 died in January this year. Two of my best mates got me a beautiful portrait of her painted for my birthday a few months before she died.

    I loooooove it to bits and still well up with the effort they went to to do that :o

    NES on my fifth birthday. Still remember the day, twenty years later. Don't remember much else from back then, so it was definitely special :)

    A trip to Florida. Parents broke their backs saving to get me there after a young obsession with wanting to visit America.
