Did Anyone get OS Christmas Pressies

Digital scales, so I can use the BM without having to squint at the markings on the side of the measuring cup!

Hi

I haven't posted on here for a while (new baby = no time !!) but one of my resolutions for 2008 is to get back to OS living !!

And it was off to a great start with a BM - never had one before and I am so excited !!! DH's Nana gave me a book called 100 BM recipies and my mum gotthe kids a cookery book which I have pinched as there are some excellent recipies in there !!!

Also money saving for me was a Sudoku Machine from my mum. Has over a million random games on it so I don't have to buy any Sudoku Puzzle Books for a while !!! lol

Hope everyone else got what the wanted !!

Hi

I don't usually tell the family what to buy me but this year I asked, and received, for things I really needed.

I got a purse from 2nd dd. I had my handbag stolen a few months ago which was never recovered and, of course, my purse was in it. I've been managing without a purse since then but dd has just bought me such a beautiful and practical one. DS is buying me Tricia Penrose fitness dvd - poor love went to every single shop in town before Xmas to get it before I realised that the release date was 26 December.

1st dd has bought me a new terramundi pot and dh bought me desperately needed underwear.

Well back to the lakeland sale which is taking an absolute age to load.

Hi elona

Have started a thread on OS about what to put in a survival box - it's just been so cold up here, it would be drastic without the heating!!

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

I was given the 'Make do and mend' book too! Not sure if DD will let me make her knickers out of my old clothes though!

A good friend gave me a hot water bottle, which was much appreciated as the old one has perished and is only fit to turn into a garden kneeler.

a solar powered indoor lamp, its sitts on the window sill and then lights up, but the only thing is I tried to charge it yesterday and there was no light of it last night?? I have left it on the window sill again, but it has not been that sunny yet so I am sure if it will work or not??

A silicon muffin tray - o/s in that I might actually have a go at baking muffins now. It was probably the present that created most interest yesterday, and MIL who gave me it said she also had a long chat with the shop assistant when she was buying it.
DH got a wind up torch, which he is fascinated by.
I was also impressed to see that my spendthift cousin had bought a number of second hand books as presents, and had clearly spent time matching subject matter to recipient :T
