That's a beautiful ring :inlove: I got a Brendan Grace DVD (DP got a Billy Connolly one, great laughs in this house :lol: ) There was a box of Lir Chocolate Baileys Truffles in my stocking (ya gotta love Lidl :D ) and some of those warm socks with rubber bits on the soles for wearing round the house. Oh and Kenco Millicano coffee, I thought that was too dear so I said Santa could put it in my stocking as a treat, then when Santa went to buy it this week it was reduced to €4

dd and ds surprised me with a present this morning. I have no idea when they bought it but they had a lovely pair of pj's (in the correct size and everything) and a dove soap set all wrapped up for me this morning. I was thrilled. Normally my mam gets them something for me but this year they said they picked it out all by themselves. :inlove: I'll be in my mams later so I'm sure my parents will have something for me. Mam asked me what I wanted weeks ago and I said I was running low on perfume so hopefully thats what I'll get :D

I'm a very happy camper this today :biggrin: :biggrin:

Christmas is different this year in that in our family we decided to buy for kids only. So kids got everything and poor Mammy and Daddy got nothing. I did get a yankee candle from a friend though. And from my not very "D"H I got a Dunnes Stores voucher. He really put a lot of thought into his present this year.

I got my wedding album.

We got married 5 years ago and have loads of photos on the computer that I was supposed to turn into an album, but never did. So DH put it altogether for me and handed it to me this morning. I cried like a baby.

:blush:
