Yup. Both Bedlingtons; Thing Minor = Digby. Thing Major = Stanley.

My 11 year old Bedlington is curled up on a blanket on the sofa after a busy day.

I'm loving scotroutes T shirt - have a mate who do with one of them.

Also wish I had friends like sparksmcguff's staff - what a terrific gesture. Made me feel all Christmassy!

Best - innertube wallet from the missus

Worst - key locater thingy that works via bluetooth but the app is full of crap that nearly bricked my phone

However, that pales into insignificance compared to what my other half's father got her. She is a vegan and he has a history of buying completely inappropriate or otherwise shite presents. This year he got her a coat which not only was it two sizes too big and not something she would wear anyway also had the added bonus of being made of nappa lamb leather. Classy.

Big congratulations to njee20 and Mrs njee20!

Best: A pair of Adidas Gazelles
Worst: Nothing, really, except that Father Christmas left me two packets of fig rolls, and after 6 months of limited riding, I really don't need them.

Congrats njee20!

Best present: probably my Star Wars bottle opener from my eldest daughter, cheap but a lovely thought and appreciated.

No worst presents - most of the rest I paid for myself, so if they're crap it's my own fault ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks guys, I risk monopolising the thread now! Suffice to say (I think) he's beautiful, and surfing STW at 5am with him sleeping in my lap I feel will be an increasingly common occurrence.

Good work Sir, splendid news about the PlayStation. ๐Ÿ˜‰ They're fanatastic fun in the long run, might as well throw away the receipt, as temprental as they are you get used to having them around and sort of attached.

Best Present:

Best: watching my boy ride just over 1km on a balance bike in QECP and when asked what he thought about getting caked in mud and the bumps ... "it fun!" (He's 2 years old) and this is the first time he's ridden anywhere other than the path at the local park.

Worst: not seeing my in law's at all and not getting to see my friends until today.

Just how many 'joint" presents are relevant to the male of the relationship?
Just opened a very nice etched jug. Mrs Zip will love it but personally it's not doing it for me.
Ungrateful? Yes but I feel I do have a point. .....present update ....more kitchen stuff for mrs zip.
