Did the big red bearded one bring you gifts of luxury and pleasure or just another pair of socks?

I'm about to have breakfast then start the opening presents fun.

Well it was socks and undies for me

We have a secret Santa system, where each of us has £20 to spend on the person they draw, at least half of which must be spent in Charity Shops (of which there are a zillion in Cambridge).
I drew my father in law and got him a 5-volume McCaulays History of England; a bargain from Oxfam.
I got a mad three-cornered Santa hat and a bizarre book on F1 designed to look like a wheel.

Well I woke to hear slash on DVD but I won't moan as porky is in his chef's gear making a start on our 3 course Christmas lunch for 12 ( very handsome he is in it also)
Present wise lots of expensive purfume around the house, mobile phone, a Ferrari drive for kids and yes socks

Have a lovely day everyone x

Mine is still in wraps - it is a truncated pyramid standing about 1 metre high in the living room. I'm told it isn't a machine, so what the hell is it??

Any guesses?

Chase marmalade vodka for me.......
Oh and a new harris bipod for the remington custom .223 i got a while back.

Roy

Perfume, money (will pay for 6 months tax on the Coupe and maybe some subframe bushes too ) , chocolates, a coffee machine and alcohol for me - what more does anyone need

My Christmas present to myself should be arriving this week too - an iPhone 5

Have a good day everyone

Which is exactly the opposite order in which they will be used

Enforcer- is it an embassadors reception amount of Ferrero Rocher ?

The manly smell of a pipe?

Nope - so far I've whittled it down to an electrical appliance which illuminates, but doesn't depend on thermals, so I guess some kind of lamp.

It's got to be pretty cold if your electric devices are wearing thermals!

It's a bubble fish lamp!!

For the man who has everything.

Aw I thought it was one of those yellow pointy things!

Is illumination its sole porpoise?

Oh for cod's hake!

Oh no, not pun time again! Have a sole please. You're giving me a haddock.

I sea you've taken the bait.

OK, Let's try to scale this down.

Well, after floundering through an endless wave of presents, my favourite has to be the T-shirt with the caption "Nothing is impossible with the right attitude and a hammer".

OK - have a whale of a time!

I've got to say, though, this lamp must be pretty powerful ..



It's turbotcharged!!

I heard it only cost sick squid

It's an electric eel....

Now here's my proud hoard, guess my lad is trying to tell me something about variety.....

It was going to well...till the saw!

Hope all goes well T_V. That initial kick is something really special

Just thought after I posted. That initial kick was 27 years ago for me...

It was only a few months ago for me, it just keeps getting better from there.

After much deliberation by the hospital, we got Amy Lee home for christmas. Best pressie ever.

Excellent news Jim and glad she's now home with you both



Yes, pretty much

Picked up my new iPhone yesterday So good to have an iPhone back

As a sidenote and I know most won't admit it but has anyone tried Asda's Smart Price salted peanuts?
I picked some up the other day to try - about 50p for 200g and I must say, they are the best salted peanuts I've ever had, they're lovely
Might go and get some more before Weight Loss 2013 starts

Think of all the air that 50p could have bought...

Lol
