    For those that exchanged presents what did you receive?

    I got an ancestry.com DNA test which i had been banging on about so super chuffed.

    I also got a lovely hedgehog hideaway which is very solid thick wood and was bought locally to my bro. It was so local, the people hand delivered it to my brother.

    I also got the Joseph Joseph totem kitchen bin to make my life a lot easier and will mean more stuff will get recycled now as i have somewhere to put it all rather than having to pile it somewhere in the house to take out to the wheelie bin.

    I also got the newest books from tess gerritsen and karin slaughter who are my favourite authors oh and some dark chocolate so im totally over the moon with it all.

    What did you guys get and was there any big surprises?

          We don't do presents for adults & as a rule hubby & I don't buy for each other but he did buy me my favourite purfume & soap (we normally buy that at the airport)
          I had lots of other bits & bobs from work (choc, wine, smellies, vouchers).

              I got a ticket to the hall !
              I did treat myself to a TomTom 5100 just days before Christmas. You can speak to it to give it instructions, which is pretty cool (and safer). I thought the price may have gone down after Christmas, but it has shot up :)
