PS5, DS5 Charging station, Chita Suntory, Baltic Blue Apple Watch leather link strap, few other edible bits.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful but Santa brought me, some socks, two leather bound journals for writing and a montblanc fountain pen.. an oscilloscope would have been a little more useful..

Santa brought her, some perfume (memoir and flowerbomb), a knit-yourself-jumper kit (she likes making things).

Money, Amazon gift card, some mini shower gels, fluffy socks, a candle (to add to the 100 odd I already have lol) and some mini toblerones which are currently sat "hiding" in a drawer. Except I know they're there...and I want them. They are calling my name but got to stay strong lol

Some clothes and my oven packed up the other day, right before Xmas, so I got my Christmas and Xmas pressie's combined - a new cooker and cooking bits.

Well happy, as had been meaning to replace the cooker with something new.

Best gift was a power rack, bench, 6ft barbell, plates and accessories.

Why the sad face? Pasta makers are brilliant.

Make sure it’s nice and steady or Sonny will be on your case

Boxers, dinosaur socks, some coasters with cats on, wash bag and a wooden penguin.

- couple of bits for future skiing trips: Wonky Woolies 100% merino bobble hat (designed/made in Scotland) and a Polartec Thermal Pro high loft fleece mid-layer for when it’s cold-cold

- fancy leather wash-bag for holidays/trips (always just used the airport clear plastic bags)

- my sister got me a selection of coffee beans from Quirky Coffee, and this nuclear-hot chilli sauce simply called ‘Regret’ as well as a joke present from my 8 month old niece, a (baby) Yoda Best Uncle t-shirt which I’ll never wear but is cute. Then again the chilli sauce is ghost pepper, habanero and extract (12m Scoville) so might be a joke too. Put a tiny amount in some leftover meatballs and tomato sauce and was streaming from my eyes and nose for about 30mins afterwards!

- the usual toiletries (not Lynx Africa!)

A rather nice SA80 A3.
