Hi, my brother bought me some bubble bath and body spray, yuck not my fragrance at all, and Malcolm and I some choccie biscuits, they won't last long!! Jasper has some gourmet cat food and a cat nip toy, he is more interested in the chicken, I bought Malcolm a couple of books, Malcolm bought me a lovely brooch in yellow and white gold, he says I deserve the best.

Anyone else get anything interesting? love Jaspercatxx

    Eh up jaspercat didn't get to many things we don't do crimbo for the adults in our family, one thing I did get as a table prezzy however was some chilli sauce, now I'm a bit of a chilli head and can just about handle Dorset Nagga's but this stuff is seriously mental really hot stuff, so it will take sometime to get through.

    so we all did well this year.
    it was nice becauase sarah is 3 in a few week's so she got really excited about father christmas coming and lots of "ooh's" and "ah's" as she opened her presents!!
    it was lovely.

    Charms for my Pandora bracelet from OH plus a mini video filming type unit which is very cool, calendars, chocs, John lewis vouchers, two necklaces (one of which really is quite NASTY!!!!!), chopping board, book, bit of cash, and some funky pink slipper sock things.

    And probably a few extra pounds on the tummy line after all the food!

    Hope everyone had a good one!! :D:lol:

    I love spoiling my son and daughter and the grandchildren each Christmas.

    As we are doing Christmas Day tomorrow, I can't list much except what I got from my OH, which was a new watch and a Remington Volume and Curl for my hair. Instead of trying to cope with a brush in one hand and hairdryer in the other. I only need to use one hand so it will be easier to do my hair in the future, hopefully.

    Some very close friends came round the other night, and they gave me a lovely letter opener, travelling clock, and an assortment of Lavender Bath things, luffa, bath oil, cream etc. all in a basket. Nice ones too.
    From My friends in Italy, I got a lovely new purse for my handbag.
    Does anyone know about the superstition about putting a coin in a new purse or handbag? and why it is done? 'cause she didn't do it and I'm worried about it being bad luck :? :?

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    one of the best ones was a travel kettle ...... much lighter to lift and easier to pour out, and it takes 850ml so will boil as much as I ever usually need :D:D:D:D:D

    I got a lovely new Kitchen with all the mod cons. I need a degree to work the cooker believe it or not but it cooks for you just put food in and press the button and hey presto it beeps when done. I love my dishwasher i'm like a kid with a new toy I never knew how easy a dishwasher was. I also got new boots, perfume, pj's and lots of smellies.
