What did you get for XMAS ?
« on: December 26, 2013, 09:16:43 AM »
Every year we say the same to each other......$100 limit (as we get stuff as we want it through the year)

So this year Pockey with her $100 limit got me a 7 burner full Stainless Steel hooded BBQ..... :eek By crikey she is good at finding a bargain  :nahnah


But in Pockey's defence I blew it aswell...... o:)

We also put a limit on our spending, and did the Kris Kringle with some of the family as well.   I received some great gifts...

Drumming stool
Desk Lamp
A donation on my behalf for hostel accommodation for a High School student in Banbladesh, so he can attend school.
Several bottles of nice red
Dining Vouchers
Camp stove
Biscuits and Chockies.

I have all that I need to relax today, and watch the poms get flogged.   :nahnah

Earlier in the month I had bought myself the Drift action cam so wasn't expecting much but I was given an external bluray burner and discs.

I got some lovely "girly" stuff this year.  Jewellery from my kids, perfume from my brother and sister-in-law and a cute teddybear crystal tealight holder from one of my friends.  Also got a fun plate for my bike, (couldn't get it as a real one, my girlfriend tried and got knocked back as it was "potentially offensive", so I'm now the proud owner of a number plate that reads WTF1, my friend Tina has WTF2 and Faye has WTF3.

Apparently several months ago tickets for the Bruce Springsteen concert in Perth were a bit hard to come by as my wife tried on numerous computer sites, waited on the phone for hours and stood in extremely long lines waiting to purchase a ticket for little ol me but had no luck.

Tickets were gone in a blink of an eye and being re-sold later for the price of a house.

Surprise surprise, a 2nd concert was organised.

Without my knowledge, wifey has sat all night in the cold and rain outside a newsagency in Armadale WA that sells concert tickets.

0700 in the morning, shop opens, wifey gets the last two tickets before sold out.

I'm blessed and I think she loves me.

I saw The Boss on the Born in the USA tour.  Hopefully it will be just as full on and great.

I got clothes (will be able to wear new shorts and T shirts!), condiments and some books on collectable bikes in Australia, Game of Thrones book and Everyday Drinking (hmmm....).

I have of course already collected a few things during the year that I just had to have early.....

Missus Biggles and I bought us a Weber Q620.
We also got each other a few books and I always put in an order for a new polo neck shirt.
Cunning as always, there's always the gift we buy and give each other to wrap for us.  Mrs' was a ring and mine a small bundle of m/c books.  No worry about the dockets!   :grin

I had my heart set on running shoes but Santa did not oblige. I was given a new computer (in pieces) which I need to assemble.

Spending time on the 21st with a one of my grand-daughters was of more value than any material object.........though an actual winning ticket in the lottery would come a close second.......lol

Patty and I set each other a limit of $50, which was well and good, as I received a few DVD's, a book and shirt, several shirts, DVD's and books from my daughter, but couldn't return the compliment to Patty, as she packed all my gifts to her when I was moving a month ago, so they're all in storage somewhere  :p
However, I have next Christmas' pressies all ready to go  :thumb

Pitstop and I get what we need during the year also, so we set a $50 limit for pressies this year. We joined our $50 bucks and stretched it to get a hoselink 30m hose reel so we can get the hose up off the back verandah.

Cheers

MCC for the 1300, 2 x non winning "Powerball" tickets.

At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Can't win twice- you've had a major win with the cruise control!!  Big value pressies under the Lane Cove Chrissie trees!
