    From DP, laptop, fluffy dressing gown and socks, PJs, lots of fab bubble bath, three books and hair bobbles (tho he hates me tying my hair up, he bought me them so that I can tie my hair up when I'm in the bath!).

    From parents, money between us to help with the cost of decorating our bedroom.

    From grandparents, money, RAC membership renewal, tea and buscuits from Ringtons (reminds me of my home village!) and chocolates.

    From my sister and her partner, glamorous rubber duck, Alan Carr DVD, biscuits, chocolates and a mug.
