I didn't do too badly. Halo 4, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3, some cool T-Shirts and some books I wanted (thanks to Amazon's wish-list).

Well, I bought the Picasso for the wife and we got a microwave and alot of crap for the kitchen. Really crappy christmas this year  . However, the kids were spoilt rotten and happy. That's all that count for me.

Not strictly a Christmas present, and I've paid for it myself, but found out a few days ago that I had qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Vegas  Apart from that, I have my little baby KTM too, not that I bothered to take it out today... Cheers, Rich

MacBook Air was the highlight as said before.
Today I got monies, and lots of perfume and toiletries. Guess I stink...
Overall a good haul.

Friend of my employer and a nice bloke by all accounts. Also, lots of nice roads around there - head up to Pickering, then up to Whitby, up towards Guisborough/Middlesbro, then turn south towards Castleton/Danby with an eventual destination of Kirkbymoorside, then in towards Snainton, take a right when you get there over Yedingham, that'll take you back to the A64 and Malton. Good mix of fast moors roads and b-roads.

Okay best present was the fact that practically everyone of my parents friends has bought a new car which is interesting and brought it over for the usual willy waving (all in proper mid life crisis territory) so having passenger rides in a C63 AMG Coupe, RS6, GTR (and the M5) was sweet as fvck.

Now have a working boiler. Turning it off and on again (aka pulling it all apart and putting it back together) seemed to fix it, but it needs a new thermocouple, more than likely. I think I know what that is, but as I decided to watch the proceedings with beer, I have decided I don't give a fvck. *hic*

Pretty much sweet fanny adams: Some nomex underwear I bought myself (gotta have socks at Chrismas!)
Some kids baking stuff (for making cakes with the little one)
and some Sainsburies vocuhers (cashed in reward points from the company credit card, which were kind of mine anyway!). The little one had a ball though. If you could bottle and sell that kind of raw excitement, you'd be a rich, rich man  .
