For me it was the visual socks and aftershave. Always welcome though.Also got a new Bosch compact cordless drill.Rather a good bit of kit and it means I can sling out all the knackered ones.
Best present has to be the offer of two jobs this week.I have been working ( hard) for a Butcher who has a skill shortage.I had to fetch some emergency turkeys from another one in the early hours of Thursday and he wants me to have a chat in the New Year because he has a lack of skilled guys too.
Anyway, I made enough cash this week to see me through the next 6 weeks, so its happy days.
Merry Christmas folks.
Preps for Christmas

Re: Preps for Christmas
Brilliant Jansman I'm stuck in the homestead here with the Grinch himself who doesnt see the point of us buying each other xmas pressies. Due to me being knackered/the weather we haven't moved in days, and cabin fever is fast approaching... The kids will hve piles of nice things for me but I can't get to them without Grinchy driving..

Re: Preps for Christmas
I gave SWMBO the Ladybird Book of the Zombie Apocalypse, basically because we are in it.
One of the pages has Dad, Leo and Katie - me and my kids' names. Mum didn't feature, she was a bit annoyed.
Otherwise - some cycling stuff, a great tin for office preps, usual socks and pyjamas, ate a nice duck, didn't snap at each other, pals coming around tomorrow- all good.
Hope everyone has had a lovely day.

Re: Preps for Christmas
First low carb Xmas for me and my old man.
Steak, pulled pork, broccoli, sprouts and cauliflower mash.
Nice coffee with double cream and a couple of squares of 85% Chocolate.

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

The tribe always try to get me things they know that l will use, or will spark my interest.
I am always mislaying keys.

Re: Preps for Christmas
Well after the realisation Mrs Andy's car had a bulb out on Christmas eve... No other dramas bar standing on a my little pony
Goose was cooked on our wood fired outdoor oven and fell off the carcass without the need to carve
My little pony palace is still standing thanks to the glue gun
Kitchen oven is in bits whilst the oven magic fell soaks off the burnt on food and the cat is gorging himself on left over pigs in blankets the little shit! They were my breakfast
