I got a Kenwood AND a sewing machine for my 30th.

I had a sewing machine when I was in my 20s
but I think I'm a special case. Oh and I had a toy one when I was a kid (it actually was what I asked for)

No one would ever make the mistake of buying me kitchen things, though

I love kitchen stuff
My nephew takes the piss because someone bought me Nigella measuring spoons.

Kenwoods rock, I got given a 1970s one that my mate was going to eBay.
Swiped my mum's sewing machine years ago cos she doesn't know how to use it.

We should start a bread machine subthread next and get al involved.

I need a sewing machine but considering all the other stuff I should be doing and aren't then it would just be another to add to the list.

I don't know how you live without one
get one that does embroidery then you can do all sorts of fun things with them

I can live without a lot of things.
Apparantly.

My sewing machine needs looking at, but I've no idea where to start
so I'll keep on using it until it dies.
