    Wii Fit. Not feeling fit enough to get it out of the box yet. :hehe: OH got H1N1 flu, otherwise known as swine flu, for Christmas. If you fancy a quiet Xmas, just drop pig flu into the conversation. I guarantee everyone will run screaming in the opposite direction. (OH on the mend, by the way. Pretty nasty bug but no worse than any other bout of flu.)

    I got spoiled rotten as usual by Mrs Chopper and my two step dughters. Lots of socks etc etc. New Xbox 360 Live with Konnect. Several new war games for the Xbox. Lots of DVD's and BluRay films. Bird box. Gardening books and vouchers. Booze, (I don't drink!). Sweeties (I am Diabetic!). Cigars. Plus of course the usual ritual abuse from my club brothers! LOL some of it was hilarious and too rude to repeat. Spent ages laughing like a mad thing yesterday.

    Ate way too much good food prepared by the wonderful Mrs Chopper.

    3 Pairs of Pruners, two of them from the same person because one had 1mm cutting difference. I now have 5 pairs and I don't even have anything to prune yet.

    I did on the other hand get a pair of wellies which I'm very happy with.

    Loads of sweets and chocolate, a couple of books and some garden vouchers but the best thing was our new granddaughter who arrived on christmas day (sorry mentioned this on the other 'cheerful' thread too but don't often have such a wonderful present).

      Despite the fact that I love gardening, I didn't get anything garden related for Christmas. Odd. Although I did get £50 of gardening vouchers as a goodbye present from my (now ex) work colleagues. They'll be most useful next year :)
