Ok, I know it's been a few weeks, but I thought we could start getting the board back on track with this old favourite.

I'll start the ball rolling shall I, DH bought me a House! well actually I did all of the running around and organising everything, he just turned up Moving day and Christmas eve, but he did have to work. I guess this was our present for each other, we didn't buy anything else.

We got Christopher a toy tool box and a toy helicopter, he still ended up playing with the boxes that still puzzels me

My SIL got me a pink top, a non stick wok, tea lights & a snow globe. My mum was away on holiday but brought back a pillow case with our wedding picture on a pair of slippers and a necklace & earring set.

So who's next then?

a lush gift set. chocolates and some dvds.

the kids got spoilt rotten ( I was working at elc over xmas) too much to list.

4lbs of extra weight from piggin out LOL

That's what Santa brought me too. I got a couple of shampoo/perfume sets from the girls, and a necklace which says Mum, a CD and a DVD of Bridget Jones... and a teddy from Jamie and some fridge magnets from Anna which say nice things about being a mum on them.

A house - I'd love a new house - it'd have to be on this street, but a couple of extra bedrooms would be heaven.

Emma, it's great when you can spoil the kids at Christmas, the look on their faces are priceless. Sounds like Seren and Jack had a toy filled Xmas.

Getting to the 4lbs of extra weight, did you ask for that from santa or was it a bonus gift? The reason I ask is, I asked to loose some weight but instead I got 6lbs, does that mean i've been a very bad girl?????

Donna, I bet those bath sets are going to come in very handy now when you have your "mummy time" which you will need now that you have two little ones. I love fridge magnets, when friends go away on holiday or weekend breaks I always ask them to bring back some magnets for my fridge.

The best thing I like about having our own house now is there will be no more of living out of other peoples pockets, I was getting really sick of doing that at my mum's & SIL, I just could not seem to relax and do stuff at my own pace. Anyhow at long last "16 months to be exact" we can do as we please when we want! I think that's the best gift of all, Peace of mind.

No exciting gifts here. I did get a couple of lovely outfits, and DH surprised me with a couple of antique books I really wanted.
