:wave: Hubby bought me Animal Vegetable Miracle: Our year of Seasonal Eating by Barbara Kingsolver. (I am hoping to be inspired!) Here's the Amazon link if you'd like check it out

I got a big box of screwdrivers ( still trying to work out why??? ), a chocolate fondue set (:j mmmmmmmmm), and a chart which tells you when to plant your veggies (going to be growing our own in 2008, so this will come in very handy! :T ). Its my birthday tomorrow - I am hoping for a small apple tree and one of those plastic greenhouse thingys - probably get a(nother) socket set! :rotfl: ( I have more tools than most of the men I know - I suppose it comes with being single and having to do things yourself! ha ha)

I hope everyone had a lovely day. Wishing everyone a happy, MSE (of course), new year

Not sure if this counts, but I got a washbag with slippers & an eyemask in, it's OS cos my DD had to buy one to take into hospital & it was BOGOF & I got the free one.

Mr tru bought me Self Reliance by John Yeoman :j
Actually, I ordered it, gave it to him and told him it was to me from him and 'please wrap it up, you've bought it for me for Christmas' :rotfl:

I received my first ever breadmaker & made my first loaf yesterday which turned out great, we used it to make sandwiches for tea with the leftover beef (very thick slices though, have to get used to cutting the bread it was so soft!)
Hope everyones having a great time, they are lovely pressies you have all received

4-Some magnetic jewelrey ( this will go with every outfit i have and will look different every time!!)

Hi,

I was lucky enough to get:

A freezer, Which I got dad to give me cash for, he gave me £100 'towards it' so I bid for one with a dent on comet clearance site and got it for £91 brand new and delivered!:o

A wind-up radio.

'Thrifty ways for modern days'

A beautiful small blue thermos flask, so I won't buy my £1.59 daily coffee to keep me warm in commuter-land.

Hobbycraft vouchers so I can get more wool and finish the throw for my bed.

Electricity-free dehumidifier for my damp bedroom.

Hoorah! Friends and family have really got my OS message. In the words of James (pop band), 'i'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore....';)

Thanks OSers, you're an inspiration.

I bought my fella the Panasonic reduced to 39.99. I looked yesterday and it had gone up to £64.99. If he looks he will think I am incredibly generous.

I got some make up which I was going to buy after Christmas as my stuff is donkeys years old (yes I know its supposed to get bacteria etc. in it, but I am still here folks!!!).

Best of all though (in my view, is £85 worth of tokens between M&S and Debenhams) where I shall be making extremely wise choices with my shopping some time when all the madness has died down. I do need a new omeletter pan as mine has got a bit sticky now, but I have used it for years and years and it will be relegated to a sausage pan, so still old style.:)
