    I think I had a car. It might have been a tractor. Hubby had a squirrel & the kitten had a picture of a house. The advent tree hanging was a tiny stocking.

  • Oh dear I'm a little late as it is technically now the 4th...

    I got a sun today (3rd) to go with the moon I guess?!
  • Skis and poles (DD, Friends) and a micro Star Destroyer (DS, Star Wars).
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I can't remember what I got this morning, lol! hey it was only 6am.

    I've got a traditional one which is just pictures. As I'm 42 I can have chocolate any time I wish you see. :D

    I'm thinking it was a robin. I will make more effort tomorrow.
