I CAN'T believe that Blue Peter is 50 years old.

It started the year I was born and I grew up with, Valerie Singleton, John Noakes and Shep, his beloved dog.

I was never a big fan - it was always a bit posh and middle class for us - but I did make a jewellery box out of a Milk Tray tub for my mum's birthday.

And I always tried to make that Christmas decoration with wire coathangers and tinsel tin·sel  
n.
1. Very thin sheets, strips, or threads of a glittering material used as a decoration.

2. Something sparkling or showy but basically valueless: the tinsel of parties and promotional events.
 but mine never ended up anything like theirs.

I remember being so young that we all thought a Blue Peter badge was actually worth having... those were the days.
