Yay, I got a sewing machine and the Good Granny Cookbook. I expected the cookbook but the sewing machine was a lovely surprise. Did anyone else get OS pressies?

Hubby bought me 'make do and mend' and 'eating for victory' books.
War time leaflets in book form. They are both really interesting.

I got the Mary Berry foolproof cakes book which I suppose is OS because I won't waste money making crappy cakes from recipes that don't work!

Hi there

I got the new jamie oliver cookbook/growing veg book and a mandolin..both from my brother... he knows me well.. i adore cook books, but for the last 6 months have banned myself from those and cookery mags as i have far to many lol, and i cook everything from scratch so the mandolin is a "woohoo" gift

Also got the most stunning throw for my bed from my mum... velvet, embroidery ...its beautiful and will keep us warm to boot ...yippee

And hubby is putting my xmas money from him in a sealed tin (as i don't need or want anything at the moment) and then he is going to add to it through out 2008 and on the 1st Dec i can open it up and use it for anything i want .... which i love the idea of...

Not a Christmas present but for my birthday (Boxing Day) I've been given a Silver Laced Wynadote cockerel to go with the four chickens I already have:j I live in the middle of nowhere so no near neighbours to worry about - and all the neighbours have chickens and cockerels anyway. He's beautiful.

So more fresh free-range eggs and home-grown coc au vin on the menu.

My mother-in-law gave me a readers digest book on how to save money on everything, probably recycled from a charity shop but I don't mind as it is really a great pressy as I love to save money and she knows this. The in-laws are big money savers also and pick us up some great things from the charity shop she worls in. Also got a lovely thingy to put in my veg garden which says grown by a domestic goddess!
