I got the Buble Cd and Will Young too....slippers, pyjamas and a top as well as the stuff I had last night

I'm getting impatient waiting nowww

Can you not peel the wrapping paper back and have a sneaky peek?

Ooh it's so tempting!! But I will show self restraint and wait, this entire waiting until mum got back thing was my whole idea anyway. I rather misjudged myself there

you have no-one else to blame but yourself then

Haha, nope!

A packet of beef Hula Hoops.

Oh, the hula hoops were just an after dinner corner filler.

The washing machine won't be here until 4th January.

I've been spoilt this year. I got a 160gb iPod, a sewing machine, Cath Kidston sewing box, 4 Wharf silver jewellery sets, a chunky silver bangle, a Martick glass heart necklace, Cross signature pen, diary, hand blender, Charlie Brooker's new book, Rachel Allen cookey book, a pretty Laura Ashley doorstopper, digital photo frame, 2 bottles of Clarins bubble bath, Elemis bubble bath, laptop case/sofa tidy, Yummy Mummy mug, Mr Beeton cookery book, DS game card & Thorntons nougat casket.

Bleedin nora QOTHT I hope you got a cuddly toy at the end of that lot

I got a cuddly toy!

I didn't

Mine is a teddy with a fluffy blanket....the dog keeps eyeing it up though...she does love to kill a cuddly toy.

Lol, I did actually, well sort of, my friend bought me a Bagpus singing mouse doll for Hetty. I LOVE it!

I've had to hide all of Hetty's toys from Wilfy. He likes to kill teddies too.

a david tennant calender off the OH and £100 of my dad

and some bad wind

Hope they kept the receipt for that

i wouldn't mind but i only had ONE brussel sprout

My mum gave me some knitted peas with faces in a knitted pod.  And some knitted tomatoes on a knitted plate with a knitted lettuce.  They are wonderful.   She's been sent home to start on some knitted sprouts 

Aww, I love knitted veg!

You have an excuse, you can blame the baby.

Knitted veg

I've just got an invite to Ministry of Sound at the 02 NYE cos my mate has a spare ticket and I CANT BLOODY GO

And while I'm ranting....I also got an invite for NYE to Funky Buddha and could have been on the guest list at a Soul2Soul party I HATE NEW YEARS EVE

(Still ranting) So while my mates will be out there getting snogged by some drunken hunk I'll be sitting at home And even though a couple of people have threatened to bring the party to mine I am not letting it happen cos I DONT DO VISITORS

I think I'm okay now.

i managed to gatecrash an invite to a house party in bournemouth ...I WANT A BETTER NEW YEAR although at least im not working thats a plus

i let one off just as we got home...silently. the OH was about 10 foot behind me and when he walked in he started ranting about the stinky cat

i didn't correct him

Choccy's, Grey's Anatomy Series 4 DVD set (just out and completes my collection), Ashes to Ashes DVD set (Phillip Glenister yummmmm), perfume, jumper and cardigan, new mobile (not the Cookie in the end, a lovely lilac Samsung slider phone), 2 new silver rings because I can't wear gold, silver bracelet, some cat ornaments, and hair straighteners so well pleased with my haul.

i just have to say..that i got my best pressie last night, not today

Have had my eldest daughter here for tea and a sleepover tonight. She can talk a glass eye to sleep but i love her.

My expectations were low... given that I had insisted all funding be prioritised to making sure xmas actually happened. 

I've had worse years though... I got a really nice hoody, a Jason Statham calender & a JPG Classique eau de parfum set (& the box lights up like a brothel window)... is my fave perfume, and I didn't have any.. so am chuffed to bits with it.
I also got the most hideous pair of pjs ever!!!    Big scotty dog on the chest... v neck long sleeved top.. in cat sick yellow & nasty rose pink.   Twas from my mother... bless her.

Its over.. and kids happy with their stuff...  hubby loves his satnav... and I am still on speaking terms with parents & sibling ... so I will call it a successful mission!

And best of all... its OVER NOW!!  Yippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yeah----- Now we can look forward to CBB. Can't wait for some good TV again.

Stealing that!

*dribbles*

One of my pressies today was a windscreen cover

To be fair......I'm always going on about the length of time it takes me to scrape the car in the morning, and I leave the house at ten past seven on a good day.

Mr S looked so pleased with himself when I was opening it, and a bit crestfallen when I declared it to be crap

TBH it will be useful, but I'm not going to admit that to him, and I did get some really nice other stuff.

I dont know why that made me laugh but it did Although it's probably one of the most useful things you'll get!

I put it on tonight, and if it works.........he may just about get off with it

lol!!!
 
Thats blokey thinking for you!!    

I am really bad at looking pleased with crap pressies... 

the first year I was single (had always had bf's to spoil me before)19yrs old, was about .. I remember my parents got me a shower (for my flat), brother got me the shower curtain, nana got me the rings & pole, dog got me the shower mat!

I had a face like a slapped arse, and remember leaving my parents house with my mum in tears... I drove round to pick up girlie mate who had been spending the day at her parents...  I beeped the horn outside and my mate came stomping out... raised voices behind her, slamming the door... holding her brown casserole dish!


I count my blessings this year... apart from the grotesque pj's... what I got is fit for purpose & well received.   MrD has made some terrible judgement calls in the past!  (do I seem like the kind of bird that has any interest in taking up calligraphy)... and once he was sooo close to what I wanted.. a Baby G watch.. but it wasn't the right one...  I never had the heart to tell him I hated it...  I just accidently used to st tropez it... til it ended up stained poo brown and was therefore unwearable!

oh.. and slippers...  *shakes head*...  how can, even a bloke, not tell the difference between cute slipper boots... and old lady slipper bootees?
