Day of beer and PS3 I think
Nothing as me and other half decided not to bother this year, although i did get her a Terry's Chocolate Orange 🙄 .
We both also got a nice size cheque from her parents. Mine will cover the money i spent on frame & bits to build the Singular Swift in November so I'm saying thats my present & am more than made up with that, i even shed a little tear 😀 😀

Got money, clothes and chocs off the fam.
Two boxes, count 'em - two boxes, not one box, two boxes of Maltesers! I love Maltesers. Consequently, I now have no Maltesers. 😥
A 3 and a half feet long Millenium Falcon - i've wanted one since i was 8. By the way it's really cool.
What an ace missus!!
Well-spoilt today. I feel humbled.

Animal T-Shirt
Etnies Shirt
From my employer a £50 go outdoors voucher which i spent on a polaris niteride II jearsy and some outland grips.
Karnali wins. Thread closed. Congratulations 🙂
A few cool bits like campervan mugs, t-shirts from IIWII that make me laugh, some handy/cool house stuff but by far and away the best thing was made by my expectant wife for me.
It is a box full of envelopes with what I assume are cards and/or letters in them. There were two for today, one for my birthday, one for when our child arrives, one for our wedding anniversary, and one for every week of next year. Judging by todays cards they are messages of love and affection and it makes me well up just thinking about them. It must have taken her ages!
It made me very happy 🙂
Congratulations Karnali, you still win but I at least I am competing 🙂
money , so looking for an orange patriot frame or a early 5 frame large.
Congrats to karnali - what a day for you all!
