I got an iPod shuffle. It's very sweet, but loading my music seems tedious. I was expecting about 2 secs per album!

Also got jumpers, chocolate, slippers(!!! - first pair since I was 4. Be a bloody pipe next).

I did however buy myself an Emerald ECU and various other bits for car

Me: my SA2005 helmet is super nice; also had some nice clothes, chocs, booze, a sterling silver USB memory stick(!), Hamilton's book and some accesories from Carbonmods. Yippee!

On the up side a pillar drill, bench grinder, and some slippers ( I feel I have reached the age to fully appreciate slippers) a dvd of ''Surfs Up' (there is something about penguins surfing I find incredibly amusing ) and on the down side two grumpy ungrateful teenagers who feel that about £500 each wasn't enough money spent on them........

Kids..........

Well, next year take the better half on holiday over Xmas for the grand they would have had between them, and see if they like it less!

If mine try that (in a few years, I'll be digging out receipts.
