    I bought myself a couple of DVD's. A coat that was reduced from £230 to £20 in an online sale - got the last one. A couple of kipling bags from amazon and am contemplating buying a rotary cutter, self healing mat and quilting ruler. Not sure yet though!

    I'm really pleased to see others have been treating themselves too. A least you know your going to get something you like.
    For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.
