A twirling spaghetti fork in December 2008 which I assume was a Christmas present, then nothing for another 2 years when I bought some awful brown knee high boots!

I thought amazon only did books and cds at that point?

Seems to be The Italian Job in 2009, I'm sure I used it before that, but I think I changed my email address due to hacking.

I do remember using play.com much more though from the early noughties as that had free delivery.

OpposableThumbs2 · 16/03/2021 18:30

I'm fairly sure it was for work although on my account. I think it was for the Goodwood Revival.

Game On series 1-3 on DVD in 2007. From the date I can guess why!

purplecorkheart · 16/03/2021 18:49

2010, cooking book about pasta for my mom. My second book was a book about Anna Wintour for me (I had watched The Devil wear Prada and was curious) and the third was a computer game that my brother asked me to order for him, which he has never paid me back for. I have just sent him the details of a product that I want that the company do not send outside the uk. I think I will forget to refund.

U.S.S. Enterprise Manual (Haynes Owners Workshop Manual) bought as an Xmas gift for dh. He still has it and won't get rid of it. 2010
