    I felt very spoilt this year, I was given new pj''s, slippers, smellies, a bottle of Lola by Marc Jacobs, 2 pairs of jeans, some fleece tops, some tops from Debenhams, Cd's, vouchers for Debenhams & M&S, stuff from Lush, a fluffy top to wear with my pj's from Next, then hubby bought me a BAKING TRAY!!!! I was totally speechless! But then he told me to try it out in the oven for size (was just about to wallop him with it!) when I looked in the oven inside was a Pandora bracelet!

    It's the first time he's ever surprised me with something I haven't asked for and have had no clues whatsoever, I didn't expect it as he bought me an SLR earlier this year so I was totally gobsmacked, so he's very much forgiven even if for a few minutes I could have happily booted him out the house!!

  • Don't buy Theatre Tokens! I was given some a while ago and it's a total pain trying to use them. For a start, the likes of lastminute.com don't accept them (as far as I can tell - let me know if I've missed something), so you can't use them for special offers. Seetickets supposedly accept them, but - seetickets will always charge a booking fee, and you can't use them online. So I phoned them, waited in a queue (0871 number, so being charged 10p / minute for the pleasure), to find the team that answered the phone couldn't deal with TT, so transferred me "downstairs" i.e. to another queue, and when that was eventually answered, that person couldn't deal with them either and promised someone would phone me back. That was 45 minutes ago - I'm not hopeful :(

  • I was spoilt, I knew i was having my pandora bracelet which when i saw it christmas morning was lovely and the charms hubby picked were perfect. He has got me another charm but he said i have to wait till new years eve which he plans to give it to me when we see in the new year as we are going away tommorow and hubby has planned it all, We are taking our mother in law and sister/brother in law too, We thought we would lose my mother in law as she was very ill in the run up to christmas so this new year is very important to us. I had my chanel no 5 perfume, I had a all in one pj suit which is so warm and fluffly off my sister in law lol, Also had cds and dvds and some box sets i wanted. I had next vouchers which i went and spent in the janurary sales in next and used them all for my bathroom and our bedroom. The bargins were fab as was there early boxing day and was chuffed with the stuff i got. Bought some beautiful bits for my girls too as had money left over. I had my soap and glory which i bought and my girls packed. I had a lush box set along with some vouchers so ended up in lush yesterday and bought loads as alot was 50 per cent off. So for Anyone heading towards swansea there was loads left. I had a julian mcdonald hand bag with matching purse. New boots. Help for heros bracelet from hi ho silver which i had lost on holiday origianlly so my best friend replaced it for me, bless her. I also had a long silver gemstone necklace from my babies. Jesus i was spoilt ha ha. Also in my stocking hubby put my favourite benefit and clinque make up in there. Very very lucky girl i was x
