My OH and kids bought me a new food processor, my last one broke and i cried for days...lol
I make lots of home-made soups and do lots of home baking so it will be in constant use
I am absoluteley delighted with it

I got a new Kenwood BM, yet to try it as the instructions are missing. Going to have a look on the Kenwood site in a minute to see if I can download it. I extremely pleased as our BM died months ago and I've not had time to do bread every week since.

Me! I got a new handheld blender, my cheapy one from Asda had started making awful noises, so mum and dad got me this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-MR6550-Multiquick-Hand-Blender/dp/B000E8RD5I/sr=1-1/qid=1167135925/ref=sr_1_1/202-9758137-6826227?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen
It's in a rather big box, so I'll have to wait until they can bring it over to me in the new year, but it'll be a lesson in deferred gratification!
I'd asked for some books on breadmaking as well, but didn't get those, so I may have to look in the sales tomorrow

I got a sewing machine (woo-hoo)- and the chance to use my Stardrops when someone spilled a bottle of red wine on the carpet:eek:

And the stain is all gone - can I claim Stardrops as my best present to myself?:rotfl:

I got a Rival crock pot slow cooker, which i wasn't expecting.

I had mentioned to my sister that i was going to pick one up after christmas, along with a breadmaker.

I have homemade soup cooking in it right now

I think that is going to be my most useful christmas pressie.

Most of my pressies were indulgent (huge box of Lush bath smellies that i can never afford to buy myself, fairtrade choccy, etc), but i did get a brilliant 'easy indian' cookery book which i'm dead chuffed with as a) it doesnt have the usual 100 ingredient and 8 hours of cooking time recipes, and b) mum must have spent hours going through books to find one that was easy and almost entirely vegetarian! Also got a brill herbs and spices set with a small chopping board and a very sharp mini cleaver type thing for herbs.. which i promptly cut myself on :rotfl:

Also got a huge snuggly blanket for me and my boyfriend, brilliant as our house is freezing in winter.

This is one of my most used recipe books - the hogswatch pie recipe is very very good

Got money towards a Panny which I went and bought in currys this morning! Wahey! Gona open it in a minute and get a loaf on.

Dad thought I was being terribly indulgent as he bought a breadmaker for my mum for Xmas for £25. Oh well, never mind.
