A frying pan. From DH. Oh yes! Brave man.
It's a bit of a joke present so he got away with it!
Also a hand blender - same as one I already have and not the one I wanted so have already warned that I will be changing it.
Crappy smellies that I am going to bin as they are putting me in a bad mood just looking at them.
Lovely cook book from Darina Allen
A book on organising your home. Hmm
Lots of chocolates
Baileys
A huge Lego Technic set!

A Dodo notebook/organisation book for recipes. Like that a lot.

nothing yet. not doing presents until all the grandparents arrive.

Gave DH a list months ago so I'm hoping that he has got something off it. He's mentioned only requiring a small amount of wrapping paper so I hope it's pearl earrings.

As my mum hasn't asked me what I want, she's either using her initiative, getting me something she would want, or DH has sent her my list.

PILs went very quiet when I said that because we don't have a bath, only a shower, I was glad I couldn't possibly get Yet More Smellies this year. We shall see...

I fcan't actually remember what's on the list other than the earrings, so it'll all be a surprise!

Nothing.

And dh mistakenly picked up a birthday card instead of an xmas one for me, and didn't realise until I opened it this morning.

He has an abcess in his gum and is feeling a bit grim bless him, he went back to bed 2 hours ago and I am left with my 20 month dd and 5 week ds.

Not exactly the day I had hoped for Sad
