Xmas Presents - the good, the bad & the ugly
Just wondered what everyones favourite, most hated, practical, unusual presents were.
Favourites were - Boogle Flash (which everyone else has loved too) will also be really good for youngest DD for help with her spellings. Lovely set of brightly coloured cheese knives.
Practical: receipt spike (at first I thought it was something to cook a chicken on in the oven DH had to explain)
Did get a Boots Gift Card which I thought I would find it hard to spend but DD bought something in the sale today and gave me the money and then I bought some Christmas heart decorations which were half price.
DS got a Slush Puppy machine which is cool.

Best pressies were a shallow cast iron casserole which I have coveted for years and could never justify buying and a digital photo frame - both from DH so he has really excelled himself this year. Also got Hairy Bikers Perfect Pies book from DS1 and some novels from DS2 - fantastic both of them.
Oddest present was a pair of gloves for cleaning vegetables in!
Funniest present was a pair of trouser I bought for DH without realising that they were hipsters! Not a good look on a 50 year old who is not known for his trendy dressing. (Please don't take offence anybody but they were just the male equivalent of mutton and lamb on him) I will be taking them back.
