Before I forget, presents I got for Christmas 2005.

Silver/amber stud earrings (Shirley/John)
Goodwill vouchers for poor people (Shirley/John)
Silver/black/purple bracelet (Maggie)

And some more stuff too but that is what I remember right now. Goodness me I did quite well looking back. Normally there's a rather large pile of stuff to take back/exchange/charity shop but not this year. So far the only dud I've exchanged was a really weird magic 8 ball in the shape of a giant fortune cookie that looked somehow like a giant vagina. That had to go back.

My favourite presents are everything from my Dad, the boots and the board game. Who would have thought it would keep us entertained for most of xmas afternoon and also Boxing Day! Utter brilliance, especially the DVD questions and I highly recommend playing in teams of boys v girls. Also, on Boxing Day evening, my aunt Shirley and Maggie devised a wicked and evil game of dare or forfeit involving a lucky dip box and lots of small presents. I had to act out the bedroom scene from Little Red Riding Hood with Nick as the Big Bad Wolf as one dare. I won some glow in the dark jumping beans for that! Wooo!
