Any disaster pressies??
I am so lucky as my family are very generous.I have had money,socks,smellies i pod and tunes voucher(got to get my dinosaur head round this one )and my fave a pair of ceramic wellies with flowers painted on for my plants.Books DVD'S and some lovely books.
The OH is in the dog house. >:(
He presented me with a large ,heavy ,beautifully wrapped parcel.
He gave it to me with great ceremony.....ooh I was so excited. ;D
So much sellotape took me ages to open it,it was a metal topped something ???
At this point OH jumped up and grabbed the box..............oh no..........oh no what.......give me me pressie back.........
It was a second hand DVD recorder he had ordered for himself of EBay for himself as his has packed up........he thought it was my super fantastic surprise pressie........... >:(
So I am now waiting for super pressie. ??? ??? ???
He bought me a few CD,s and one book I liked...................the final pressie off him was opened and I kid you not......memories of Les Dawson
LES DAWSON
Why did you buy me this dear???
You said you liked him.
No.
I am sure you did ages ago.
He ain't coming out of that dog house for a long time yet :D
Now I no the rest of the familly thought my other half was going to be in trouble for buying the timber to make me 4 new raised beds for my chrisi pressi. But the timber is 9 in deep by 2 in thick, 2 metres by 1 metre pressure treated. And I'm as please as punch. For some one who hates gardening, for him to go to that much trouble to source the timber and make them up tells me how much he cares. 2x 10 foot polly tunnels and a self locking prunning knife. Plus stocking fillers as well. A man that actually listens such bliss. ;D ;D
All we need now is some dry weather.
Among other things like smelly stuff and furry slippers, I got her a 100 songs by Foster and Alan. I cannot stand the sentimental trash they perform so she got me a nice pair of ear plugs ;D

I really didn't expect much as son John and dil had already bought and given me early my new printer, but I still got more presents from them. A very nice cardigan and a box of "smellies". My holiday to Spain earlier in the year was supposed to be my birthday and Christmas present from young Lorna but I still received 4 new CDs Susan Boyle, Dame Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston and Barbara Streisand. Joshua bought me a Cottage Gardens Calendar. Alyson & co bought me DVD The Green Mile film and some more smellies. Grandson Craig bought me a box of soft truffle seashells out of his own money. Oh and on top of that John popped out and bought me new computer speakers on Christmas Eve as mine had packed up.
DD gave me the Susan Boyle cd and son gave me some potable memory to keep more pics on my old PC mmm could do with some spare memory strapped to the back of my head :D

Didn't we all do well! I had a lovely day and I hope you all did too.

Woohooo!
Got really fantastic gifts this year, although none cost a lot of money it was clear that all the gifts I got had a lot of thought put into. Been collecting a series of books and one of my friends bought the rest of the collection for me. My parents bought me some DVD's and some tools for the garden. And my girlfriend bought me a really nice and warm jacket. ;D
Overall some really good stuff. 8)
