We weren't a rich family but there was always plenty of love. My Mum's mother died when Mum was only 2 so she never knew a mother's love herself but somehow made up for it to us ten times over. When we said we were still hungry she would give us her meal as she knew what it was like to go to...

It's not an enjoyable outing if you are pressured into eating more than you want and then made to feel guilty because you don't eat your Mum's leftovers. I would not go out with them as you have rights too.

I remember how utterly fascinated we were by our first computer and the game we played - like a ping pong with a little white shape moving from side to side! I guess the guy that said personal computers would never catch on was wrong!

They were nice and deep and strong and as my Mum did all her washing by hand they were very well used!

I remember the desks and inkwells well and how messy they were. The other important job I scored was blackboard monitor, making sure the blackboard was clean, there were enough chalks for the teacher and the blackboard eraser was also clean.

When I was a child I remember my younger brother as a baby wearing these nighties. They were very comfortable and snowy white. In those days the pride of the mothers was a line full of brilliant white nappies and baby clothes. No brilliant colours and patterns then.

The Duchess of York has reminded us all of a very important thing which is to look after our health, get regular checkups and if something is not quite right we should see our doctor. I was fortunate to have a good doctor who although my symptoms were a bit vague decided to have some tests done...

The best fish and chips I ever had was walking home with mum and dad and my brother from the pictures (cinema) on a cold evening in England and stopping at the fish and chip shop on the way and then eating hot chips from a little packet with newspaper around it to keep them warm. There was a...

This is worse than a third world country - our citizens deserve a whole lot better.

Useful, hardwearing and lots of different colours. Also inexpensive. Loved them.
