So what have you bought/treated yourself to for Christmas this year?
Me, I got myself a Christmas special mk3 Liberator off of Troutie. Not used it on the trails yet, going to have to wait till Wednesday 🙁 Can't wait to see what its like round the forest, its impresive enough in the garden, I know I'm not going to be dissapointed
On One Carbon 456 frame @ £299. Assuming I'll get xmas money to cover it.
yup, ordered a new bike! 😀
Yes! Cant say what tho... mrs cider might find out 😯
Cannondale flash ultimate with a set of tubular wheels built by strada with dugast rhino,11-32 SRAM XX cassette & SRAM XX rotors 140/160 roll on the season !
Naah
Just the kids! Decided on a last minute whim to buy em an I pod touch each at six tonight whilst lay in the bath! Unbelievably daughter stated that she'd love one about an hr later but they were too expensive to put on her list!!
No, I can't even afford the new chain, cassette, chainrings and BB I need, let alone new bling! 🙁
Nissan QashQai+2, pick it up on Wednesday 😀
picking up one of these tomorrow

Parents had bought me the self same spanners for christmas it seems After telling my dad how easy they made the job i was doing ...... Hopefully halfords will take The unused set back/ swap for something else

I'm afraid I jolly well have not bin good enough this year, to deserve any treats. 🙁
About a month ago I was given the green light to replace some child damaged loudspeakers 🙂
my existing CD player doesn't like CDs that have loads of fingerprints all over them (like my wife's) so I had to buy a better second hand model as a result.
I picked the CD player up this morning and it sounds lovely through the new speakers so I guess that I have treated myself but only because I was told to 😉
Some soap
Another Troutie christmas special here - DD with the bigger battery pack. Blew the darkness away last night - 😯 - very impressive light output on boost.
A couple of little things but no biggies. I had quite a spendy November 😳 But the new year's going to bring a load of race entries and some serious planning for summer holidays, so I'll just count that as my christmas gift to me.
Yes, thanks to someone on here I 'wasted' £199 on a new watch I didn't need. But I love my new Nite MX10.
Erm yes, I've been very selfish this year. Since these sales have been on pre Xmas and all that it's seemed a bit rude not to spend a few quid myself. So, things I'd seen over the last few weeks have ended up in the Bouy household.
No bike things though..
Carbon456 finished the build at 1am this morning 😯
Going to finally buy a new TV, the picture on our CRT keeps going pink and green with a negative effect, like the opening credits to baywatch.
merry christmas catflees (and to everyone else also [img] 
[/img] 🙂
I normally do, but like Northwind, I had a very spendy November ( double glazing and a brand new engine for my Defender = ouch! )
This Christmas I will be treating myself to a new blower motor for [url= http://vwkombi.com/how-to-guides/eberspacher-servicing/ ]one of these[/url] as the current one has also decided to cease to be.
Oh, and some bread and water.
2011 Ford Mustang, with a drop top 🙂 Happy days!
yep, spare set of DD nobby nics, 1 pair of point one podiums for the full bouncer , 1 pair of Mg-Ti protons for the hardtail and a very large dehumidifier ❗
harky - MemberNissan QashQai+2, pick it up on Wednesday
The OP said 'treated', not 'given in to middle age' 😉
Cranberry what you get engine wise ?
Rpi v8 🙂
1.kindle.
2.new nicolai helius AC 29er, full build, albeit it'll nae arrive until february whence i shall be in lake tahoe.... 🙂
New road bike 🙂
One of those Garmin Edge 500 gps things following the Halfords thread...
Not available until 29th Dec though, so gonna have to be patient...!
Yeah, £460 of VED!
Nothing. Treated my girls to a second hand rocking horse off EBay as an extra Christmas present though.
I was in the shop getting mrs petrieboy some last minute Asics trail running shoes and thought they looked rather nice so bought a pair for my self. His"n"hers trainers - oh dear!!
Nicolai argon cc 29er full build. Didn't plan on it as a present but it gets finished today so I'll use that the justify the £1k overspend!
Nothing this year. Treated the kids and the wife though. I'm a giver not a taker 😀
Not really, though a certain special someone is buying me a breadmaker... so I can treat him to tasty bread at all times
Jealous at GJP up there.
Just bought some of those 29er wheel PSA'd by bigdawspaws(?)from CRC. I had a crack in my rear which after 5,000 mostly loaded miles this year, plus 1,000+ previously, I cannot complain about too much.
I wasn't looking to buy one but I picked up a 2011 Cotic Soul frame off ebay a couple of weeks ago for £300. New Reba's arrived earlier in the week and the build is underway. Should be finished today, although I won't get to try her until Boxing Day.
Based on opinions on here, I'm either going to be very happy or somewhat disappointed (As I have great expectations).
Merry Christmas everybody.
Nope. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Went over budget on my wife's present though, 'cos she's worth it
Yes - a trackside cabin for the the 24/12 at Newcastleton. The kids and Mrs Please have done pretty well too and that's the end of that bonus. Bother.
