I can already reply to this one. In July (yes, July!) this year I got my first Christmas present - it was a double seat with table and parasol and stand for the garden - my mother thought we'd like it, and decided the December wasn't really the best time to enjoy it!

Yeah my Nan was the same. She would buy something in the Jan sales put it away, then forget she had purchased it. Then she would buy something else

Sadly my Nan passed away a few moths ago I have to smile though as I bet there is a stash of pressies that my Grandad hasnt found yet

I got some great clothes and jewellery, also a book on what it means to be a capricorn including a full 2008 predictions. Also Lots and lots of chocolate! I'll never eat it all (she says as she munches).

Any connection between your reality and mine is completly coincidental

Santa was very nice to me this year. I got some lovely jewellery and a couple of handbags, that Kylie perfume (that i would never have tried myself in a million years) but i think its gorgeous!

My bloke was good to me too! I got a dvd or an Embrace gig that I went to a couple of years ago with a friend in Leeds! Cant wait to watch it to see if i can spot myself in the crowd (fat chance! lol). Got the Richard hammond book too which i'm quite looking forward to reading... oh, and a chocolate fountain! We over-indulged on that yesterday! lol!

Mike really spoilt me this year, he got me loads of stuff:
A silver bracelet and matching earrings
A few books (1 being the history of Goth so I can wear it and know why I wear it!!)
3 CD's (Rob Zombie, Echo & The bunneymen, solo CD from singer from system of a down)
A few little stocking fillers..

Friends got us lots of choccie and biccies, so we wont go hungry.

All in all a good bunch this year. No outsize clothes that I have had in the past anyway
