Want a Duacti 1199  ;D , but will probably get socks  :'(  .  Have my eyes on another mod for the cruiser but it's a one of custom build so I won't have a chance of getting it before Xmas.

I have bought all my families and friends a stainless steel double walled drinking mug by avanti (trying to think of the name of the style) I bought one for myself fell in love with it, it so great to drink out of, keeps the tea nad coffee hot, the cold drinks cold. Bought myself another to keep in the camper permenately and one for everyone else, will have to but other stuff to go with it, but ordered a heap from Peters at Kensington on line. Got delivered to the door. zhow good is that!

Tint
Roof racks
Snorkel

After 10 years of little aths, and 5 years of Soccer (where both home and away games meant 4 hours travelling), I know where youre coming from.

Fortunately, there is a life after raising kids.  We're just starting to enjoy it.   Stay focussed!!

My wife went out and bought herself a new watch today.

When I asked her how much it was she said it could be her Christmas present from the boys and I (I'm not looking forward to the VISA bill!!!).  At least I don't have to do my usual frantic X-mas Eve shopping spree now!!

What would I like - I'm not really sure, but I know what I will get: a shirt, tie, and socks.

We're having a brickie coming around to build in our new stainless steel BBQ with hood.  That's our pressie to each other.  No need for anything else. BBQ's all year long (when we're not away camping).

For the rest of the family we try to buy small but meaningful presents: a personalised calendar for Dad (you make them online with your own photos) and the promise of a wildflower season camping trip for Mum.

My brother has no sense of community spirit whatsoever, and so we have bought him an Oxfam Unwrapped gift - which is two goats for a village in Cambodia. They are great presents and maybe he will learn something (or not?).
