    I got a doughnut maker, so when the other arrives I'd ordered myself because he said he wasn't buying me any 'house things' I'll have to send it back :o Got some money & a gift voucher for argos which hopefully won't get eaten up by bills so I can buy myself something with it. Got a few not OS presents aswell.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Hi Everyone,

    Santa was very good to me!

    I was given:

    some wonderful Icebreaker skin 200 base layer thermals - OS because I'll be able to turn the heating down a bit.... they are made from non-itchy very fine merino wool, and so so comfortable..... bliss! The tops are a nice sort of cranberry red and a black one - could have had pale blue too. They are not cheap but will last for years.

    A wind up torch

    I was also given some money so will send off to the Orkney Angora wool company for some cosy socks as well.... it's been so cold up here, all I can think about is getting warm!!!

    Also will purchase a wind-up radio, don't like batteries

    There is a theme to this which I'll explain on another thread..... edited to say, it's the B*ggery Box thread - sorry can't do links!

    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.
