    Re: So I'm dying to know....

    A DRUM KIT!!!

    Sorry, but I'm kinda chuffed with it (particularly since it's been sat in the front room for 6 weeks and my evil wife wouldn't let me play it at all!). Also, the new Eddie Izzard 7 set (which includes bleeped version of the first three so I can let the kids watch them ) and a load of stocking fillers (including odd things like a battery charger!!).

    All in all a small but impressive haul

    Some books.
    Some DVDs (The Big Bang Theory, Lord of the Rings Extended, Two And A Half Men)
    Tickets to see Billy Connolly at Hammersmith next month.
    A booking at Le Gavroche and a signed menu from there by Michel Roux telling me that my chicken is undercooked! (I started saying it a lot after watching Masterchef!)

    Re: So I'm dying to know....

    It seems that both sides of the family are cutting back this year, however was happy with what I got all the same

    Two very nice shirts from my parents, sadly one doesn't fit and Mum is going to change it for me.
    Socks (I think that everyone gets them for Christmas)
    The Simon's Cat book from my sister, easily the best best present ever.
    Tranformers Revenge of the Fallen Can't wait to watch this when Dad gets his new LED TV and home cinema system
    Wallis and Gromit DVD from my cat !!
    Doctor Who calander for 2010
    £30 in cash which is going towards my new headphones after I get paid next month
    Choclate, which has now all been eaten (burp!) well I'm not called Behemoth because I'm tiny

    To be honest it was just nice to spend the day with my family (well Mum Dad and sister) with out any grand parents coming over. Meant I could actually sit in a comfortable chair in the living room this year, rather than on the floor. Givng Savannah cat nip was the highlight of the day, she goes nuts for that stuff !

    I got myself a few things too. 8 gig iPod touch, Knights of the old republic on steam, Are You Being Served series 8 DVD
