    The Jolly Fat One, (no not Mary Harney) got me Aftershave, Kilinascully Series 3, Eddie Hobbs 30 ways to invest my SSIA, Which incidentally I do not have :confused:, A new Watch a hoodie sweater, (how lowering is a hoodie like??) Plus some denaro. Gave more than I received, which really helps with a do-good feeling. Christmas sucks and I hate it tbh.

    I spent the last 4 hours enduring the biggest assault since D-Day however rather than US & German soldiers I had 4 to 9yr old cousins which seemed to have explode into action upon a few glasses of coke and sugary sweets, they only managed to break three things a new record. Ah well I enjoyed it and it was a nice Christmas however not the best ever, I typing this on Christmas day is evidence enough. I'm not a turkey person so had steak instead, it was also the first year my family was split as my sister had to work for the first time ever, but was home a 7pm so not too bad.

    I got clothes, a book, jewelry, a pack for my dog (like a reverse backpack, and you stuff the wee pup in the front), a gift certificate to Tiffany's and some socks and towels. Cool stuff, but the coolest was seeing my mum well and healthy, enjoying watching the 9 or 10, however many there is, grandkids play with the squawking rubber chickens Santa brought them. Not only wil they lay 'eggs' if you squeeze them, they can stick to the ceiling if you throw them hard enough!

    Santa brought me:
    A Buddha (for luck)
    Money for my New Years trip to Portugal
    DKNY Perfume set
    An Urban Decay Shimmer Brush (I love it)
    PJ's and a selection box

    My lil Sis got me a really cool, giant, pink, piggy bank

    My brother bought me a Ghost perfume set

    My BF's brother got me a handbag size DKNY perfume.

    My cousin got me a beautiful little silver, compact mirror, with diamante cover and some juicy lip-glosses.

    My best friend got me the coolest thing.
    Well, she got me a lil set from boots, and a book, but better then that, she took all my fave pics of us, and our friends, from the last 8 years, and she had them blown up to poster size, and some of then are just regular square or rectangular shaped, and some are circle or oval shaped, but they are all seriously cool, and will be going up on my bedroom wall tomorrow.

    My Boyfriend got me the coolest pink fluffy house coat, a pink fluffy throw for me bed, and a matching pink fluffy heart shaped cushion.
    He also got me brilliant turbo hair dryer from terrisales, on Abbey St.
    A Green retro adidas hoodie, with yellow stripe.
    A gorgeous deep red Guess hand bag.
    A Turkish protective eye, which sounds a bit weird but I like it, and its set in a pink sun, and will look brilliant in my bedroom.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye
    And best of all, my fave, a stunning, silver, DKNY watch, with tiny pink Diamante logo.

    I was well and truly spoilt rotten!!!

    Ooohhh. Contraversial :D

    I got €100, and more chocolate than I've ever seen under one roof in my lifetime. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭rogue-entity


    Money from most of my family.
    Brendan Grace DVD from my aunt, Tommy Tiernan Jokerman from the sister, Family Guy S1 from the brother.
    Clothes and clothes vouchers from the mum and dad.
    Clothes from one cousin and a hold-all for the bits and pieces you keep in your car (de-icer, screwdrivers, WD-40, Ducktape etc)

    And more money.. and there are other family members that I havent seen since before christmas, so that will mean (most likley) more money.

    Money is always good with me.. I get what I want that way, and not what people think I want..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Yeah money is good, though I like surprises too. With money I can get that Dita Von Teese book I could never dream of asking for and was too poor to afford!

    I saw the Dita Von Teese book, quite hawt. It's one with the fetish book at the back?

    I got some nice perfume and 50 euros, which I went out and bought a load of reading material with. Also got a laptop for my birthday/christmas gift. And my Mam promised to bring me out and teach me to drive on the beach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,647 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Clothes, hair shaver, some random crap that was bought for me for the sake of it, but one cool thing was a mini-scalex-trak type thing, but instead of cars, it has grannies on wheelchairs!

    Yeah, though when I saw it in the book shop I didn't get that they were two books in one and I thought they were two seperate books so now I'm happy that I can get them both in one :D
