What Presents Did You Get?
Comments
-
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.
From DP's M&D, gloves and necklace, and from his sis & BIL, a picture from our lounge.
Looking at that list, I've been a saint this year, nevermind just good!

I got lots and I like it all. Special favourites were a 100% cashmere jumper from DD digital camera form OH and bike cover from DS. Also a home made media player from my 15 yo DS, though I am not sure how to work it. LOL
Anti wrinkle cream from my SD (no I am not insulted) it is the Avon anew eye cream and too expensive for me to buy.
I also got a worrying amount of bottles of wine. Chocolates, a lovely handmade patchwork cushion cover, and hand made jewellery. and more, all good stuff.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:
