00:00Yeah, my then-wife, she bought me a British blue short-haired cat.

00:07Oh, wow.

00:08Yeah.

00:09I called Bara Mia.

00:10I bought my Nintendo DS.

00:12I did get it when I was, like, eight years old.

00:15And it still works to this day.

00:17Everything I've had, I've appreciated, no matter what it was.

00:20Probably my Xbox, to be honest.

00:22Yeah, it was a great present, still using it now.

00:24I got it five years ago, so, yeah, my Xbox, I think, I'd say.

00:27Wow, a telescope when I was nine.

00:31And then a guitar when I sold the telescope and got given a guitar a few years later.

00:38Yeah, and recently, I don't know, there's just been amazing books and things.

00:44I'd never heard of Wolf Hall, now it's massive on TV and everything,

00:47but when I got that book, it just kept me going for months.

00:50So, that's a few. I'm sure there are loads more.

00:54I haven't got it on today, but a necklace my son got me when he was really little.

00:57Like, it's not my normal style, but it was a really thoughtful gift.

01:00So, that one's always stood out.

01:02I'm a lover of socks as well.

01:04Like, really into, like, if I can get some CK Funky Pattern socks,

01:08that's the dream for me.

01:09I know that's probably the lamest thing ever, but I love a good pair of socks.

01:13Socks and slippers.

01:15Oh, yeah, classic Christmas.

01:16We're in that period of our lives now.

01:20Middle age for you, innit?

01:21But I want to be in Black Catalogues.

01:23Check for the catalogue, swipe away, and boom.

01:25They used to have a computer.

01:27And it was a desktop, but it had a Sega Mega Drive.

01:32We had a game called Lemmings, and it was all about, like, building things,

01:36getting them to build.

01:38And then there was another one of blowing up gorillas on buildings,

01:43so you'd throw the bananas.

01:45And me and my auntie had hours of fun playing that.

01:49And then, sadly, about six months later, my auntie passed.

01:52So it was just, like, that game, to me,

01:55just brings back so many memories and good fun.
