Had a quick look and couldn’t see a thread.
What’s the best present you’ve received today? Or Infact that you’ve given?
Think mine would be a pair of 5 10 Maltese falcons or fifa 18 for the PS4 which will help occupy me during my knee recovery.
Merry Christmas everyone
Some Pink Slime Balls (97a, 54mm) from my girls 8)
I got an Airshot! Yessss!
Also a custom stem cap with their own drawings on from each daughter and a Salsa one from my wife 🙂
The stems caps sound pretty cool and a good idea.
Uplift day at antur stiniog
MKS NJS chain tugs and 4 + 5mm Beta t-handle hex keys. Nothing too fancy, just really nice kit that works.

Only thing in my room that wasn't here last night is a cockroach.
Tickets for Blue Planet at The Albert Hall, awesome.
Either the BPW voucher or the Minion DHR 29x3 (obviously not to use on the uplift at BPW)
Track bike. Amazing.
Got next to nothing as that's what we agreed, fine with that. Kids happily building Lego right now, Future Islands on the stereo, lovely.
And I just cracked and ordered the Lepin Brick Bank for £50 off Aliexpress. Ah well, it is Christmas. Just hope the quality is as good as I've heard!
Bottle of Jack Daniels. Better than the Chivas Regal last year - too smokey for me
Unicycle from my Dad. Complete random suprise present. No idea why he bought it but I see a trip to a&e in my near future 😆

Got some for the wife as an extra gift. She was less impressed.
I got the Monk box set.
Bottle of 10yr old Ardbeg 8)
Not quite the fancy stuff I'd tried in the shop but can't blame my wife for not being able to distinguish between all the different gaelic variants 😕
Oh, and an unbelievably happy, gurgly 4 month old who went to sleep without his usual meltdown, and a smitten new granny getting to know him for the first time 8)
Voucher for a wildlife watching / photography trip. Looking for eagles, deer, seals, otters etc.
A large pressie has mysteriously appeared under our tree while I was in the kitchen tidying up. Kids have opened all of their pressies.
I hope this one is for me.
I hope it's Lego.
Random = A good quality frying pan
Best = A Google home mini. Not sure why I need or whether I actually want one but it'll do for streaming music in the workshop and I'm quite partial to a gadget.
