Ohhhhhhhh christmas, I love it. Kids loved their xmas pressies - DS1 got a PS3 and 2 games and a couple of other things, DD got loads of girly things but her favourite are some clip on earrings and her 'mi-digi-world', DS2 has his ELC rocket, and a vtech console that has proved to be a winner. We've gathered a few of the xmas pressies and hidden them and will give them back out next week when they are bored!
OH and I got new coats for our xmas pressies - not very exciting but very practical!
Have put a bit of money by for sales shopping at the end of the week. I'm working tonight for 3 nights so no spending for me till the weekend!Debtfree JUNE 2008 - Thank you MSE:T0 -

afternoon all! Yummy dinner eaten and friends have gone home for a snooze (which I may have myself soon!!)...she has cancer so cant ast long without falling asleep (standing joke as she has a tendency to fall asleep mid sentence - ok unless she has a fag in hand!) and they may pop back later for an hour. Looking over at mum she is also asleep in her chair! My neighbor got me a beautiful welsh lovespoon which will be cherished. Now just chilling & enjoying having all the efforty bits done and relaxing after wine & cava (note to self - get 2 bottles of cava next year - 1 only lasts 2 mins!). Hows the ham stunty? What else are you having? Made aunt bessies potatoes & they're rubbish - lidl's much better & was much amused to tell my brother who was horrified at the mere thought of lidls, never mind stepping the ine door. He hasnt lived or had his LBM for that matter!! Got him his first christmas present ever this year and he likes it (soprano book!) which is a relief...Love the penguin pap! What lovely pressies did people get? I got a beautiful watch & earrings, a garmin (for running with HRM & footpod for the runners out there!), diet book (sister!) and pict frame/photo album, smellies, kitchen stuff and a soup book! Lovely! Now going to chill & chiccle watching mum snoring!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0

Hubby and I got LOADS of chocolate for christmas too.... Only thing is that I do not eat chocolate... :mad:
Hubby is rather chuffed that those who got them for us know that I do not eat chocolate :wall: but still just went and bought us either a tin of chocolate biskets or a tin of chocolates...
Well HE will get fat and I will not (probably the best way to look at it) :drool:0 -
