Just curious as to what people get/have already got.
Not even Christmas and already lucky; a bottle of decent white wine from some of our suppliers (it pays them to keep us sweet, but I wasn't expecting anything as I'm just on a short placement), a bottle of Rioja from the bosses out in the States and a 2&1/2 Pint glass in the office Secret Santa thing.
Also, has everyone finished their shopping? I finished mine on Sunday. One comment: God, The Body shop's a rip-off! and their products are tested on animals; my boss worked there on their packaging and said it was a fine legal line, as the products weren't tested on animals, but all the ingredients were. |

Dee is heading home for Xmas so I got me presents early.
2 Pairs of Dockers (hard wearing and very smart Chinos)
1 Pogues Ticket for last night in the RDS (fucking amazing)
1 Pogues T-Shirt
1 Pogues screen print Poster (think it may actually be one of Ric's buddies work)
I may post pics later when I get home.

I got a huge box of chocolates and a bottle of pink champagne from my main client and plenty of cheese, too.
Since the hubby and I don't get each other pressies (mutual money, after all), we've got something nice for ourselves + we spent the first advent in Milan. I found a beautiful pair of earrings at a handicraft market and I got a new iPod. He got a new coat and a pair of trousers. |

I know I'm getting a bass guitar :-D but there's a few other presents that I have no idea of what they are. My best friend bought me a High School Musical voice recorder as a joke present (I cannot stand those films- they make me want to rip my eyes out lol... Sorry if you like them :-S)
Bought my Dad a Seasick Steve CD and various other stuff and my bought Mum a Nightmare Before Christmas headknocker to add to her collection lol.
Merry Christmas everyone! |

You LUCKY girl! I want an electric guitar, but I know that I'm not going to get one this year. I'm getting some CD's and some vinyls.
Lol @ that high school musical stuff. I can't stand them neither. |
