Best present for us this year arrived on Christmas Eve, son and his partner came round with some pressies for the little ones and announced that she was expecting a baby. Early days yet so nobody else told. They were off to Blackpool to her parents for Christmas. Cam as a shock to them as they've got no Grandkids yet !
Someone in our family initiated a system where each adult bought a present for one other, the names being picked at random. Partners bought for each other and the littlies got pessies from everyone, of course.
I landed my Son's name...he wanted a set of good kitchen knives.
My eldest girl got me and bought me the only thing I really ever want....vouchers from the Model Railway shop in Altrincham.
I bought TTQ a rather expensive food processor, a DVD, a chunky cardigan ( picked by me ! ), a DVD player for the bedroom and some good headphones for the talking books on her MP3. A Hairy Bikers cook book completed the line-up. I got a very nice working model of a Great Central Rly heavy goods locomtive in 4mm scale and a wireless weather station.
My birthday this week, so anticipating a few moe vouchers and she's booked Friday for a trip to the shop to buy my birthday loco ! Anticipation levels on high setting at the moment !
