Hubby and I did not do xmas pressies for each other this year, we have had a lot of expenses lately, and besides i had a birthday five days before xmas and was so spoilt then,so no matter.

We gave the kids money and some little bits and pieces, perfume for my daughter.movie card,burger king vouchers that sort of thing, and I bought some lovely books for my great nephew.

We did get some nice chocolates cadbury milk tray, not opened yet, not bad for a confirmed chocoholic lol.,we ate the other ones son and girlfriend Amber gave us for xmas, we got them early,and melissa gave us forty dollars petrol vouchers, very handy indeed.

Work disappointed us this year, we usually get a 100 dollar supermarket voucher, big fat zero this year, and they have not paid out their bonuses either, so not a good year, still keeping his job is the best present ever i think in these hard times.

Actually both hubby and I were unwell xmas day, so it was not great, but both better today, we did have my parents over for a cafe style xmas lunch, with homemade goodies i made, xmas muffins, and chocolate peppermint slice, with cibatta (sp) garlic bread, club sandwiches,chocolate cheesecake,strawberries and grapes and savoury mince,potato top and bacon and egg quiche mini pies,and although we planned to go to our favourite buffet restaurant tonight for dinner, we had to cancel,never mind,maybe again next year.
