What did you get for Christmas?

[Slioch]

The latest Viz annual.

The weather forecast is a bit pants for tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to settling down on the sofa with the Fat Slags and Sid The Sexist for a couple of hours.

Various things, including a 10-DVD history of the Tour de France.

I wonder what they will say about the Armstrong years ...?

 

[grumpyoldwoman]

I thought Kindle books couldn't be bought as gifts?

They can't. I got told to choose some up to a certain value yesterday

 

[SD1]

a few bits and pieces but I was surprised with "The complete works of Flann O'Brien" who knew that people actually sometimes listen when I talk..

Might have bought it to shut you up!

 

[gavroche]

Jigsaw puzzles?

Yes

 

[SD1]

Yes

I read somewhere they are good for reducing stress?

I would tend to agree with that as I find it relaxing. It takes your mind away from every day problems. Also, if you get bored during the day and can't go out because of the weather, it is an easy way to spend your time rather than watch daytime tv.

Must be getting old and been thinking but
A feeling of how fortunate we all are to have food, drink and prezzies, and a safe place to stay at Christmas time.
(and any other time)

Try the instructions for a Dremel. The manual is the most useless pile of crap I've ever come across, thank God for YouTube instruction videos.

Oh poor you.

Some giftcards I converted into a Raspberry Pi 2 and ebooks, and one I plan to convert into a trip to see Star Wars.
A tin of sweets, including some American candy.

And a Ted Baker puncture repair kit, which handily comes in a tin which fits in a bottle cage.

I've got new supply of mickling cloths ( I have given Mr K some new boxers)!

Weights for my wrists as I'm supposed to be doing arm exercises to build up the strength in them.

Vouchers, chocolates, handcream, wine and some ginger liqueur.
