She gave me an upper limit of £2000

It only cost her £300 in the end though.
Oh, Nicol that was a very special gift. Some people are SO kind. x

I got a coffee machine. The darn thing scared the life out of me, it spat, hummed & shook, I only tried to use it once. It's still in the depths of the loft somewhere.

When I left school I was an office junior in a tiny department (4 staff, 1 Manager, cramped in a small office). The other lady was much older than me, and bought me an enormous pair of red silk knickers for Christmas!

A floor standing vertical toilet roll holder that holds five toilet rolls. I never did find out what the giver was trying to tell me.
