Topic: Your favourite present? (mine is so tasteful)

[wardy]

You're so lucky getting all those peeps to cook.  Mind you I did go out for a meal the other night so can't complain.  Had no meal yesterday just filled up on home made bread with smoked chicken breast.  Going out for pizza this afto as it's my nieces 12th birthday party at Pizza hut.  Oh just what I wanted more bread  ;D

I had curry and cake yesterday (neice's birthday) so agian I didn't cook.  Last time I cooked 'proper' was when we had the outlaws round for pre-chrissy din-dins (about 10th Dec) as they are currently sunning it up in Sri Lanka for 3 months.  Roast pork dinner for 18 with all the trimmings.  Wimped out an did fruit for pud.  Then a marathon of work do's so no evening meals prepared at home.  This crissy I hosted bubled and squeak day so flipping a few fried eggs is about as culinary as I have got recently.

I got a wheelbarrow :)......................and a gas stove :).........................nobody here quite understood how exciting that was..........but I know you lot will :)

I am chuffed to have been given some Piet Oudolf books!! :)

As a present for myself, I bought a new Canon EOS 350D Digital SLR camera, which I am really excited about. I decided that I was really enjoying my photography so much that I could justify a 'proper' camera.

Christmas was good this year - some Kiwi hospitality in Dunedin/Christchurch on the 25th and a family Christmas back home on the 28th. Perfect!

Oh Delilah wheelbarrow here too and I got the gas cooker for my shed for my birthday back in November.  Silly me though I have lost the flipping gas cartridge!  Only used it once!  Have searched up hill and down dale for it.  Dread to think where it might turn up  :o

Ooh get you  ;D   Mine is a tinny looking job which squeaks like mad  ;D

[redimp]

Mines all black and was the cheapo one from Wickes with pneumatic tyres.  Not a present and does the job lovely - bit squeaky now though.

[Delilah]

Oooooooooooo get you .................... mines bright yellow  ;D

Wardy the gas cartridge is likely to turn up in 6 months time in the most unlikely place if you're anything like me  ;) ::)

Daisymay -
did I read right that you got an engagement ring for Christmas? Congratulations! I was hoping I might get one of those. Nevermind, already been with him 8 years without one, so whats another year? I guess he could surprise me on my Birthday (my 30th on Tuesday!), but I won't hold my breath! lol

I did get some good presents though... a wind up/solar powered radio to use down the allotment, a flask for my tea and the new Kate Bush album.  Fantastic!

Happy New Year everyone!

Well get out the crayolas and colour me tickled pink - how could we have missed that one?!

If it is indeed true, then many, many congratulations, Daisymay!!!   ;D ;D ;D

My wheelbarrow is sort of rust coloured, it came out of a skip - with the owner's permission !

[Merry Tiller]

Since I already have just about everything my heart desires I thought my babe would struggle to think of something to get me this year but she came up trumps as ever, I got a telescope, it's fantastic, now I have something to do when it's too dark to be on the allotment. ;D
Aren't wives fantastic?

[wardy]

They are MT - just glad you appreciate yours  :)
