Im dying to know what ive got, me and OH limit each other to £50 each as a general rule, ive got him just loads of little bits really since everything he wanted was expensive, but ive been having a nose at my stuff and unless everythings from poundshop or somehing im sure hes gone over budget.. Im worse than the kids can tell i hardly ever get out for myself on a regular basis.

My mum asked a few weeks ago and i said i want money, shes put me 50 in a card and still got a bag of presents i cant believe how much ive got this year.

MIL/FIL arent getting me and OH anything as they payed for a new stairs carpet last month, last few years ive been showered with gifts from them

I have no idea. DH told me not to study the credit card statement too closely. I saw a payment to AlexanderMcQueen.com.

It is my 40th in mid January too.

I don't know what I'm getting. DH is usually quite extravagant. I'm hoping it is not exercise related - last year I got a cross trainer in a not very subtle attempt by him to get me to exercise.

I have no idea, and its the first time I havent even hinted at what i'd like.

DP, has, however, told me its the most thought he's ever put into anything ever, ever which un-nerves me slightly is great.

Dh got me a camera in the Amazon lightning deals that I wanted needed since mine broke.

He's just been up and wrapped my gifts and there's about 6 gifts under the tree that I have no idea about.

Some lovely earrings from DH that he chose himself. PIL gave me a magimix. It appears that I am now middle aged as this has pleased me hugely. Off to fiddle with all the attachments! Grin
Merry Christmas one and all.

DH is away until January 19th so we are doing presents when he gets back. I did send him some jokey stuff though.

DS1(19) &DS2(17) have bought me Robbie Williams tickets, his album and a peacock Pandora charm. It made me cry. They only have weekend jobs, so must have saved for ages.

I bought myself a dishwasher. I LOVE IT.

I've had it about a month now but it is my Christmas present to myself (lone parent), it's one of the best things I've ever owned and saves me sooo much work and gives me a little bit of time back.

Exmil bought me a watch - it's lovely and very unexpected.
