I got loads of amazing stuff!! One is a large scrapbooking hamper (I wish I'd have been bought some time to have time to scrapbook with it too tho!! haha!)

another great one was 5 trees in Ecquador c/o Tesco's and my Mum! to re-stabilise the soil and prevent landslides from occuring so often there!

And also a Tin of Party Ring biscuits - thought they were quite novel as I was expecting celebrations/heroes as I was unwrapping so a very nice suprise :EasterBun

I did get completely ruined but they were 3 of my favourites!!!

Load of card making bits and pieces from my friend, a 'sew a teddy' kit from my grown up son..............lol (He knew it'd make me laugh and he got it from charity shop -much approved of)
OH got me a Joe Brown in Concert video from our local charity shop.........plays perfect and cost him 20p............lol Also voucher for £100's worth of 'beauty treatment' at local hair salon - they've just opened and were selling vouchers for £35 as a promotion so he snatched it up.......very moneysaving and I can spread all the hair dos, leg waxing, massage etc over 6 months..........brilliant.

A pack of mini rolos, a large toblerone, a large box of toblerone individuals (that's my year sorted). £20 from my parents, a tin of biscuits from the folks in the flat below (as a thank you for making them feel welcome) and my old man gave me a fan heater (bought on Sunday and I was there), due to his binges he hadn't been in a fit state to go anywhere to buy me a present:mad: He goes on holiday today for 2 weeks so I hope he comes back with a cuckoo clock because I have always wanted one:eek:

I've been given a set of 24 professional food colouring pastes If you ever make coloured icing for birthday cakes, these are the things to use. Colouring pastes are so much better than liquid colours as they don't dilute the icing. They also give a really good strong colour. The colours in my box include; poinsettia, hydrangea, wisteria, mint, chestnut, poppy...ooh I can't wait to have a play with them, I shall make a batch of fairy cakes for the kids and colour each one in a different shade

Two absolutly ace digital photo frames, a 500GB external hard drive and a weather station. Loads of other great stuff too, super photo mug with a silly photo of my friend and I, Jean Paul Gaulier purfume, books, smellies, pens and a pic n pix!!

I'm happy

The sweetest present though was from my daughter aged 15. It was a letter, she finds it hard to open up to me so she wrote me a letter telling me how much she loves me and how good a mum I am, I was crying my eyes out reading it, I was so choked up and she had frame a little photo of us both too. It was very emotional.
