Time to add up and compare this year's booty haul!



A pretty small xmas over here, but so far a good one.



I got a digital camera (yay!) and accompanying memory card, so I can document the parts of next week's trip that I will be too FUBARed to remember.



Got some beer and beer glasses, a hockey DVD, and a couple other miscellaneous things.



Haven't exchanged gifts with my girlfriend yet, so that should yield some goodies.



Got 25 GBP from my aunt and uncle. I told them I would put it to good use. NYE party favours are now financially accounted for. 8) If only they knew... :)

And i had 100€ by my mother, Harry Potter 1 2 & 3 DVDs, a Lava Lamp (the psychedelic thing with bubbles going un and down), an "Aubade" calendar (Aubade is an underwear brand :D), and i'll have more gifts tomorrow.

I got a book and CDs and some other stuff. I also got a x360 game and controller and money loan for a xbox 360 I finally found at a local Hastings... unfortunately it was the 300$ one so I had to buy the harddrive seperate and didn't get any of the extra stuff. Can't wait to get back to it. 8)

Got some more money tonight from the relations, all of which will soon be converted into British currency which will then be converted into booze. :D

I saw my brother and his wife today and had the kids exchange their gifts.



They gave us a bottle of good sake for our anniversary but we'll put it to good use next weekend.



My brother also gave me his old ipod Mini.



I have now officially reached the year 2005.

Thats cool Jeanie, nice to know there are others out there who can quite happily sit and while away a couple of hours reading an atlas!



I think my fascination for the Arctic is still unusual though...

I got:



Wallace & Gromit (first 3 films) on DVD



Kraftwerk live DVD...a totally unexpected present from my uncle (who is also a fan)! We were watching it on his widescreen TV in fron of other family members were like "what the hell is this". I almost went through the "Do you know how important to music these guys are?" routine, but stayed quiet.



'Welcome to Britain' - a cynical book with photos of run-down cinemas, concrete shopping centres and graffiti covered walls, if you ever read the books 'Crap Towns' you'll get the idea. link (acidchildren and chemicalfan will like this one): http://www.thecarava...outh-fl_jpg.htm



Gladiator on DVD, money, cd box, plenty of chocolate, cool glow lamp, shower radio, smellies.



Shame I had to be in work at 6:30 this morning but you can't have everything I suppose ;-).
