What did you get for Christmas

I usually get socks, fruit, and vitamins but for some reason I made out like a bandit.

Cheap Digital Camera: Wanted it for work
Cash: How can you go wrong
Socks: I always get this
Vitamins: Like I didn't know
DVD Burner: Need and was so happy about it

Supa Bobble Head Doll: I didn't know you had your own doll


I'm just waiting for the fruit and then it's a wrap. What did you get? Hopefully GOOD!

Well, I've had a weird mix of presents this year.

* Peter Kay "Live At Bolton Albert Halls" DVD - class, one of my fave stand ups

* Big tub of Cadburys Heroes - chocolate! Hmmm.

* A signed & dedicated copy of "The Wages Of Spin" by Bernard Ingham - WTF? This is a book by Margaret Thatcher (not my favourite person ever)'s press secretary. He apparently uses this book to claim that he was alright and not a liar and the current Labour goverment are spin crazy. He's signed it "To Ned with best goodwill Bernard Ingham". I think my Mom has flipped. I was expecting "The Hobbit". Well, I supose he does look like one but WTF?

* Some Forrero Rocher - ah, my Auntie Julia is spoiling me! I opened these last night when I got in from the pub & I've nearly scoffed half of them already

* A £15 Amazon token. Music token would have been handyier as I'm DJ'ing on NYE but ney mind.

* Some socks. 5 pairs in fact. They're black (good start) but wiht luminous toes (hmmm). Each one has a different word on it. The first one says "Football" (I hate sport), the second says "Kebabs" (I'm vegetarian), the third says "Women" (OK, I do like them), then "Booze" (Yep, got me on that one) and finally "Vindaloo" (not since my wild youth). Still, they'll do nicely on wash day.

* Ben Sherman "Who Gives A Shirt" body spray & shower gel - Yeah, cool. Smells a bit lemony to me.

* A plain black jumper. The same relatives bought me an identical one last year. I wonder if they bought it back from the charity shop I have it to?




I was so tired last night, I went home about 9.30 and got a pizza. I got so stoned I fell asleep by about 11 (just before I'd got to the end of 'Graffiti Bridge'). Now I'm wide awake, my flatmates are all fast asleep & it's 2 and a half hours till the pub opens where I'm meeting up with the family.

About 70 bucks which I'll probably give to Pej because I owe him some loot. If not him maybe sisto.

There are some great gifts that some of you got. I'm wanting to trade for that Jimmy Cliff DVD.

I'm off to my sisters house to pick up socks and boxers. I can't believe how many people gave me socks. It seems like I have enough socks to fill a duffel bag.


I ALSO GOT AN ORG NOTE FROM SO THAT WAS COOL. HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GOOD HOLIDAY SEASON!

I got:

* A self-drawn card, a CD of Prince outtakes and a Broadway Cares AIDS benefit CD from my Secret Santa Jthad!
* A pair of pants and a stuffed puppy from my 2-year-old (although she's sort of reclaimed the puppy).
* A leather picture frame from my boss.
* A burned Kate Bush CD from Fhunkin/Blueview (it should get here from Amsterdam someday)
* A vintage Mercedes from myself.
* Pissed off at my ex-wife.

...I'm haven't seen my gifts from my mother and former in-laws yet.

Santa Claus came! I guess I was a good girl this year!

I got a LOT of really cute clothes, a pair of BCBG boots that I've wanted, some cute purses, an adorable new camera cell phone which I desperately needed because my phone hasn't been working, makeup and body lotions, Pee Wee's Big Adventure DVD, My So-Called Life Series DVD, a new Janet: Live From Hawaii DVD (my old one was scratched), a special-edition Rhythm Nation CD, The new Kelis album, and money from my aunts and uncles.

woot!
