We decided that next year we are going to all have christmas jumpers to wear on the day and put the rest of the money we normally spend into the holiday account !

Next year we are going to put money into a holiday fund as we are planning on going to Florida in 2013. We won't be having Christmas jumpers though, I'd cancel Christmas before I wore anything like that!

My hubby would kill me if I bought him anything like that.!

Jumper pictures next year please!!! ;)

Without sounding REALLY cheesy getting my completion cert in December was by far the best thing i could have wanted.

Seeing how happy my nephews and niece were opening theirs put the icing on the cake :)

The best present we had as a family was a lovely new addition to the clan (grandson for me) in the form of Alfie, who weighed in at 4lb 15oz. Ever so tiny, but absolutely gorgeous.

As for the normal type presents, my two presents from Mrs Size were a small omelette pan and a new dustpan and brush. I know my place......

My hubby is well trained as well - we're off shopping as soon as I get home and tea has already been made so will just need waring through and fried rice done.

I can't really complain - he's just spent 3 days putting a covered extension onto the goat house as they were getting too wet!

Now he's finished that so he can do my dinner again each night and I can take a break!

Like Mike, I am the domestic goddess in this household, but luckily didn't get any household items .. one welcome gift was a torch -- since mine broke a while back I keep borrowing little foggy's torch and getting funny looks ( its a Buzz Lightyear effort, shaped like a rocket!). Now I can hold my head up high again in the bin store !!!

Congratulations Mike!

Dave is the domestic goddess in our house - he says I only know where the kitchen is as I have to walk through it to get to the bathroom!
