Hello


Not a clothes item or perfume but a book about how to trace my costermonger ancestors.

I am an avid collector of books, DVD's and things called videos!


Take gentle care
Best wishes

I remember when I got my Sicklesmith and Spear carriers book, I was over the moon as it´s about the Staniforths in Beighton. Elizabeth believe me that is a well thumbed book, in fact it is probably my most precious book.

one of my presents was a book called "Stairlift to heaven" :-D :-D :-D :-D No doubt he'll get me a euthanasia kit for my next present ;-)

AnnCarsiff I know I shouldm´t have laffed but I did.

My visit today to see the Elvis Exhibition followed by a delicious lunch at a great restaurant at the O2.... see my posting 'For Elvis fans' :-D

The kids are all sending us to see The Mousetrap, with a meal afterwards, or maybe before ? I have always wanted to go, so excited.

M... :-)

Enjoy Maryanna ! Lovely gift from your family ....... have a wonderful time. :-)

For my Christmas-time birthday my daughter designed and printed out some vouchers for 'Coffee and Cake'.
That will be great meeting up to shop and spend them together.

a bit boring ,but the family gave my husband a fold up footstool ,as he has to put his feet up every night ,he loves it ...for me a painting done by my daughter , which we are having framed . :-)

a Star Trek Deep Space Nine vintage coffee mug in its original box ;)

I prefer Next Generation, but this one was the best because while the tall dude was browsing in an antique shop with my mum while I was busy working, he picked it out himself, and that was a nice change from him picking out something *for* himself

AnnCardiff I am going to look up that book ... for him!

not started reading it yet but the reviews are excellent - he has written many books on the same theme - hysterical apparently :-D

I checked it out :-)

tall dude was a teenaged boy at a time when any teenaged boy worth his salt had perfected his Zeppelin air guitar routine

(Stairway to Heaven, 1971)

funny how the girls just never went so much for those bare torsoes and all :-)

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Strangely, one of my favourite presents was a mug!!
Lots of the family (and friends) went to my sisters for Christmas day, and there was a 'Secret Santa' for the adults.
I got a mug, with different shades of tea on it - including my favourite 'Builders'. :-D

Hopefully, I'll get back to temping soon (am at home with 'walking' pneumonia at the moment), so I can take my mug in, and get perfect tea every time :-D :-D :-D

good thread, I like hearing what other people got for Christmas!

tall dude also gave me a fuzzy nightshirt with black and white sheep or cows or something on it ... very flatteringly, about 3 sizes too small, that I can only get on because it stretches

I could put it on and look like a very eyecatching overstuffed sausage and make him feel bad for getting me a not useful pressie, or hope he forgets about it, short-term memory problems and all

... or I could lose 3 sizes ... :-D

meat probe thermometer! :-D

my OH once bought me a shocking pink nylon many layered nightdress which would have fitted someone who weighed twice as much as me - when I turned over in bed the nightdress didn't and I was nearly strangled - perhaps that was what was intended

a meat probe thermometer? I know where I would be sticking that probe and it would not be in dead meat :-D

trade you Ann :-)

I'd go for a meat thermometer myself. The dial on mine has fogged over.

lavender I could offer you some chocolate-topped gluten-free shortbread cookies if you'd like to barter

my niece made them

.................... they're disgusting :-)
