Hey, Bench Buddy - maybe I will go spend some of my xmas money on Bench stuff now???!!! :grin

I got a cheque from my Dad, and a dictophone (I kept bugging him for one cos I get random ideas for writing in the middle of the night and forget them in the morning, lol). Also got a toy dog!

From my Mum I got "The Snowman" on DVD (one of my fave kids films :supergrin), a vegetarian cookbook (a hint?) a car hoover (what is all THAt about - methinks another hint?!), candles and stuff (I :love candles!) a toy monkey :monkey - soooo cute! Loads of other little bits and pieces.....

Oh yeah and the usual vouchers etc from relatives!

OHHHHHHH and the newest Green Day CD! :grin

All in all it was a good haul, lol.

I would give it all back tho if I could just spend the day with my :angel Nan :angel I took a lovely plant and a poem up to her grave a few weeks back. First xmas without her, and I just can't be happy.

Enjoy the time with your family Kez!

Much love :love

They were the ones I was gonna get! The ones with Bench up the leg - like black combat type trousers?! They were £fourty and I was skint though. Gosh I am jealous!

I :love Punky Fish - all the sizes are tiny though. Crap.

Well, maybe will go hoover my car. Not. Hehe.

My favorite present was a blanket my mom started when I was born, then sort of worked on it on and off over the years and finally finished (in secret, I didn't know she'd been working on it!) It's a quilt type one, except each square has a Precious Moments figure cross-stitched into it....it's definitely a keepsake, I cried when I opened it.

[elodie]

Aubiegirl that is SO CUTE!!! that's such a beautiful present...my mum does patchwork too...our living room is overflowing with patchwork cushions, she just can't stop! hehe. nothing as special as your quilt though!

I love punkyfish and bench too!! I'm into Paul Frank at the moment too but all the clothes are too expensive...i have this gorgeous bag i bought off E-bay, it rocks!

I got lots of CDs that i really wanted (inc. the Used, with the song "bulimic" on it..."i'm done with you, i'm done with you, you're taking up my time"...so true!!) and also lots of stuff i wanted. Oh - to rival your car-hoover, Bumblebee, my mum gave me some kitchen weighing-scales. I know why - it's cos i was moaning how i find it hard to follow recipes as i dont' have any - but i'm still a bit freaked out/scared as i really don't want to regress back to weighing out all my food again! i'm stronger now, though...sure it'll be fine!

ooh, and some M&S vouchers...but i really genuinely appreciate those - i'll be down at Marks buying new bras in the sales!!

lots of love

I think this was the first holiday I enjoyed in years!! I do have one question about the previous replies (I'm from the US, what are Bench pants????) Anyways, I think my favorite gift this year was the beautiful bracelet I got from my fiance; it's a gold bracelet with diamonds and rubies (my birthstone). I also must say I enjoyed spending time with my family (I dont say that very often!!!) but this year I really did. Everyone was so nice to each other and since my families idea of a holiday is to argue with each other, it was not only a gift to have a nice holiday together, it was also a christmas miracle!!

I am a HUGE Paul Frank fan!!!! I love Julius, I've got him on everything: underwear, socks, shirts, keychains, I have the big Julius head shaped pillow, and a Julius doll in the back windshield of my car, a watch, a pair of shoes, a belt, an umbrella, you name it....no obession here.... :winky

You're right, it is pricey, I do most of my shopping on Ebay and Delia's clearances, it's hard to find in stores...have you checked out www.cucumbersandwich.com? They've got a pretty good selection...anyway, it's nice to come across a fellow fan. :grin

Hehehe!
I got an mpthree too, which is really cool, and I got a watch off my brother.
I got a load of clothes and stuff, but the funniest thing I got was a stepper and chocolates off the same person (apparently to balance each other out).
Seriously though, the most special thng to me was being able to go to church on christmas day for the first time ever.

p.s. if they buy you spray, does it mean you smell?

In our family we generally go all out at Xmas rather than on birthdays ... we take the opportunity to splash out!
