preordered us book from Amazon that isn't out till January and gave us £10 amazon gift voucher each - which is very generous considering she is a student. (Plus she made ds a lovely kit of craft stuff AND got him the CIN CD he wanted).

Dps Granma gave us money adn this will pay for our quicky wedding in March (though she doesn't know this yet)

Dp's other gps gave us a windowsill herb garden (very much appreciated) and we got chocolates adn things from other members of family.

PLus money and vouchers from my family.
