Christmas Presents 'Oh you shouldn't have!!'

[Ally90]

Teddy bear bauble sporting a pink rompersuit with moons and stars on, and a santa hat on for our dd, with glitter. And a bar of soap for us.

On the good side, a new flat screen tv, HD ready from PIL!! And a calendar for me, my MIL reads my mind sometimes I swear...

Any other 'interesting', 'unusual', 'weird' gifts to make us giggle? Or great gifts?

merry xmas!

ds 1 aged 2 got me some patterned pop socks!

ds2 aged 12 got me a concealer stick for my zits and some body lotion

3 hours worth of anything I like at the Body and Being (going to give the floatation tank a go...) from dp......Can' wait!

santa claus brought me a lovely case of mastitis in my right boob

think i'll write a list more next year!

pmsl pinktinsel!

not laughing at your pain ofcourse,your message

feel free to laugh..... somebody should get some enjoyment out of my christmas!

I got a book about Latin from my boss!

Chuffed with £85 to spend on treatments at our local spa from my dad and the Take That CD

Not so chuffed with a bag of Chocolate Eclairs!!!

I got the Gorden Ransey Autobiography from dh (chuffed as anyhtingm I didn't even ask him for it so he really thought about it and got it right)and some flowers from my stepsons girlfriend (my stepson is 20 and his girlfriend is 43, it still makes me giggle don't know why)

DH got David Beckham aftershave from his mum, & I got novelty socks

£100 for an awning for my camper van (don't scoff, tis life changing )
nice perfume (first time in my life!)
very sexy portable speakers for my mp3 player (also life chaning, now I have music wherever I go!)
A Levellers DVD from my sons (anyone who 'knows' me on here will appreciate how chuffed I am with that!)
Food For Free book (really chuffed, I am a closet lentil weaver and love collecting herbs/leaves etc but never quite sure what to do with them)
a fab leather handbag (feel quite grown up - at 36 LOL)

on a really plus side, I got a lovely eternity ring and a bracelet - emeralds and diamonds & a QI book!

oh yeah and on the 'silly present' side of things dh's son (same stepson of mine who's girlfriend gave me flowers) gave him

a watch-he hasn't worn a watch in 20 years lol

and some cheap aftershave called Midnight-he never wears aftershave, he justs smells of his shaving foam, yummy gillette

bless, I remember buying my dad useless things like aftershave he doesn't use and socks, but at least socks are useful

perfume from my mum,
compact digital camera with mp3 and mpeg player from dh
nightie and perfume from pils
body shop set from sil
really chuffed with camera as mine broke ages ago.
chocolate scented candle from dh`s niece
chocolates from dd
aromatheraphy candles from neighbour.

I had a diamond necklace, and an adopt an elephant pack on the plus side from dp, but on the side was a paperweight from my mum.

Ds had lots of things but was only interested in backpack on wheels (think old lady shopping trolly) my friend bought him (he's 16months)) and has spent the day wheeling it around the house and ignoring all other expensive, well thought out presents!

Perfume from my mum that I KNOW she received from a friend last year & wasn't keen on it!

Earrings, cardigans, smellies, a book, all very nice. Nothing useless or funny i'm afraid.

My mum bought my 5 year old - an electronic weather station from the science musue and teach your child chess set for 6+. Hard work. One of her presents to my 3 year old was a 7+ climbing robot that climbs up windows. I don't think she knows what a toy shop looks like.

I've decided that everyone buys our kids presents that require adult intervention, not actually that they can play with. We also had worm world, a pottery/paint set, a very complicated construction and marble run from various family and friends.

Luckily i bought them loads of duplo and playmobil and DH snuck off yesterday and bought them a totally over the top scaletric. But saying that the three of them have been playing with for about 3 hours on and off

I got a great haul his year!

I got -

'Scene it' Friends edition,
Guinness Book of World records,
Watch,
Peter Kay DVD and Book
Fantstic bath gift set from my fave shop
Huge snuggly dressing gown
More smellies
Scissor Sisters Album
Ab Trimmer
Mug
Candles

I got tons of jewellery :-)

Ex-Oh got me some lovely white gold diamond earrings. LO got me a lovely necklace & bracelet.

Didn't have any bad presents (except for some smellies).

I got a fab sewing machine, no surprise as I'd emailed dh the details last week, but still chuffed.

Robbie, Damien Rice and Snow Patrol cd's from dh

Stella mcCartney bath oil - dh

A fishnet bodystock - guess who? [grin

PIL's - gave us some money this year, but on the basis of no christmas pressie, so can't complain.

My folks - don't do presents for adults.

All in all dh did well, not so sure about the bodystocking, but prepared to give it a go

a candle, jewellery, lip gloss and smellies from the kids and one of their friends

a dvd, a fossil watch and 3 gifts from ann summers, from my fella, plus another one due from him which didnt arrive in time

seeing my sister tomorrow so i will probably get something from her as well

am happy with all my pressies

A cashmere scarf
The Clarins perfume I asked for plus a big tube of Beauty Flash Balm
A fabulous big zippy-uppy filofax so I can store all my random bits of paper in it
James Yorkston, The Gossip and Low CDs
Good booze
Good chocs
Lush smellies

My 'joke' present was a load of car polish etc - by appointment to HM Queen, lol - as I have recently bought a new car and am still rather precious about the upholstery

Ds got the most enoooooormous Thomas the Tank Engine set which has taken over the entire living room. I am going to be so pissed off with it by about the 28th...but he is overjoyed!

good pressies

dp: a microscope (which i am very pleased with) and a couple of books (the big thick roger penrose ome and the winter book by tove janson), also chocolate and (pmsl at this) roller blades!
ds made me some knitting needles! he has been learning well. he had help
dd just gave me a kiss
db: national geographic planetarium
dp: a pair of quality sewing scissors

PIL and B/SIL bought nowt for me, as is their way, being stupendously rude feckers. howver, and this is where I am , , they also bought stuff for ds but nowt for dd. am bloody pissed off at this tbh. may send them present only from ds next year and let him choose it himself in the pound store (ooh mummyjonk look, slime!)

(aaargh last dp was parents...) cos y'all care so darn much

Oh and just remembered my brother also bought me an M&S make-your-own-jam set, complete with little gingham pot lids!
