So, were you naughty or nice? What did you find under the tree? Or did you get nothing, like me. (SWMBO assures me "mine will be in the Boxing Day sales") :(

Bah Humbug!

I will be getting my suspension lift as my main Xmas pressie.....and also got Call Of Duty..World At War...about the only game I ever play. New Gunners and Snow Patrol CD's, new shirt,shorts and Colorado "thongs" the fancy kind. So am pretty happy with that.

Kids must have been good when I wasnt looking :) as they have done well and I think I scored some credit in the SWMBO department as I did put some thought into at least one pressie for her :D,

An EvaKool 65 litre esky :) It was a factory second, but it only has a couple of tiny scratches so basically it was a great deal. Having it pre-marked just saves the anguish of when I first scratch it. :o :)

Lovely Day.
My first gift was happiness. :) 11 yo was chuffed with his gifts! Not quite a teen not quite a youngster, he is always difficult to buy for. Nailed it this year! 8 yo also well pleased.

Second gift from SWMBO is another 'Silent Soldier' collectable:

I hope to pick up my third gift late next week: A tidy D2 to replace my broke D1:D

They even still have Santa stockings :p



Amanda didn't put up the stockings for the kids this year (BIG MISTAKE) :eek::eek: the eldest was a bit disappointed as it had become a bit of a tradition - that will resume again next year :)


Just the pleasure of watching my 2 little girls hysterical with excitement as they discovered what Santa had left for them :).

And THAT is what it's all about, something real special about young kids and santas presents.

Me I got a new computer, speakers etc, a bunch of new CDs that I'm currently listening to (Chisel -You got nothing I want :D:D at the moment)

I got told my marriage is over and a divorce is on its way ...


She got... The $1000.00 worth of "Pandora" jewellery I purchased last month for her...

Told her, if she decides to leave to 'consider it a parting gift'


But I'm hoping my 'belated' present is that we can work this out...

I've organised to attend counselling in the new year with her.:)

The laughter & surprise in my grandaughters eyes at her many many gifts she opened from Santa...especially special as she is awake after 6 years in a coma type state, I can't describe the feelings here of how joyous this day has been to our family.

Also in sadness as its our daughters last Christmas, but her joy at her daughters happiness after her being asleep for so long, was overwelming.

My present from the desigmers of LRD TD5 was a seized motor. It would seem that the oil pump drive just falls off without warning. Doesn't matter how well the engine is serviced or treated given time it will FALL OFF !!!.

From the family I got a few DVD movies. We bought a laptop for ourselves (I'm multi-tasking in front of the TV at the moment!) but to ensure I got what I wanted I bought it myself...

a little Sportco Martini single-shot .22LR. It's to keep me going until my REAL rifle turns up !
