Trill just reminded me that of all the kids' toys I expect the Lego and Duplo to last a lifetime... possibly several. The first set of Duplo we bought for DD 12 years ago is almost perfect other than some minor rub scratches. It's one of the few toys I can buy with total confidence that it will be played with heaps and not be broken.

So pleased to hear you bought a stove top kettle Bron... I wouldn't have anything else. We are still using up our first kettle, a Fissler, it has last 14 years... unfortunately the handle is going to go soon... it's wood. I have a new Esteele fully stainless steele kettle in the back of the pantry ready to go on the day the handle on our current one becomes dangerous... I expect the Esteele one to last longer. HERE is a piccy of them.
