Not much this year; I didn't really ask for much. Ended up with:

 

-A new coat (it's so gorgeous omg <3)

-Some Superdry joggers to wear around the house.

-A Hollister shirt (i actually got this for work but mum paid me back for it saying she'd cover it).

-Alan Sugar: What You See Is What You Get.

-A Miles Davis Album (can't remember the name of it, it's downstairs atm).

-Couple of F1 books (one about Jenson's title winning year in '09 and one called 'A F1 fact for every day of the year').

-My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

-Moniessss.

I still disagree with knowing/opening presents before xmas day. I haven't felt xmas at all this year but still disagree. You're also pretty much constantly in touch with people these days due to technology, so just ring/text them your reaction when you get them! If anything a half heard reaction is more good to experience imo! My friend had a few peeps round hers last night and my other mate there gave me a present at like 10 to midnight, I still waited that shit out before I opened it!

 

 

As for what I got; not alot. Technically a car battery, monies, and...yeah, that's it. Monies from the rents, monies from the bro, and...FUCK ALL from the sis. She didn't get anyone presents! Now, she's usually generous, and this year I spent ~£120 on her and my bro so I wouldn't feel horrendously shit giving them a weakass value present compared to what they get me, but for her to not get ANYTHING?! She said she didn't because she's broke, I work less than her and earn a definite lesser wage than her and she says she can't even scrape some presents for family, not even shit cheap things! I do feel awesome being the youngest and least financially stable but outspending them both :awesome: (overlooking they also have more financial responsibilities than me, ofc)

I'd be entirely unsurprised if your sister is planning on asking you do do a little light DIY some time soon...

 

I got a Kindle, a case for it and some books. I also got a lot of random other bits and bobs, but it's too late at night to list them all, and I'm ill...

Actually, all of these tools are for work. If she wants DIY though she can asked her husband to do it.

Is Dyson OK?

So christmassy sales boys/ladies? I can't wait, because of the vat increase shops are going mad! :D bwuahaha.

 

Going mad in a good way or bad way?

 

 

I have so much planned for the sales:

 

Guitar (If I can find a decent, cheap, left handed one)

Scott Pilgrim Bluray and soundtrack

Electric razor (I need one that can trim to certain lengths. I want constant stubble damnit)

Whatever I can find for my Gamestation vouchers. Possibly Enslaved.

Holy cripes Dazz that's a bucketload!

I know, I couldn't believe it myself. I was happy enough with my True Blood books as it was, haha. I knew about the Balance Board too and I was extremely happy with that, haha. I'm still in shock someone got me The Lost Symbol though for some reason.

 

I can't WAIT for the January sales. Me and my best friend are supposed to be going to Solihull and meeting up, we haven't seen each other in months so it should be a fun time! :D

* Obesity inducing amounts of chocolate. Most of which i don't even like but will eat because. Just because. * Ricky Gervais Live.

* Standard bath products

* Oil burning Yankee candle thing. Glad cos funnily enough it takes the chill of the air. Cheap heat!
