Christmas Loot 2006
Tis that time of year again where children are happy, parents are stressed and I try to make out like a bandit. It’s a lovely time of year to spend with the family at home (in my opinion, I do love home). The presents just help to make the day a little bit more fun, as the champagne only lasts so long. Merry Christmas!
This year I decided not to have a main present, as I’m waiting for MacWorld in San Fransico to see what Apple come out with, otherwise I would have had a new Mac. What I did get though was a fibre optic Christmas tree covered with ten, twenty and fifty pound notes with a cheque instead of a star. My mum thought it would be nice to show that money does actually grow on trees, along with giving me just over £1,000 for a new computer (she also said she’d try to cover the rest, as the iMac I was looking at is going for nearly £1,800). On top of that I received a few dvd’s and video games, a new, leather office chair, a paper shredder, an electronic safe and some fun little bits and pieces and clothes. My girlfriend bought me “The Book of Cool”, Grolsch bottle glasses and lots of fun things in a stocking, like a jumping frog. I also got some pretty cool things from my sister in the form of a pretty cool belt, a pen and a wallet.
All in all, not too bad! It’s just a shame I had about thirty minutes sleep on Christmas Eve and was completely and utterly unable to enjoy Christmas Day as I should have. I get the feeling I spoilt it quite a bit.

Well
I had lotsa other little random odds n sods, 2 PC games [both awesome], a helova lot of chocolate, new Pratchett book, a beard trimmer, a PUB QUIZ box set thing.
Oh - and a student begging tin, its a money box on it written “Starving Students Please Give Generously” which u can only actually take money out of by using a can opener 
From Kathy I had a nice t-shirt, a William Bear teddy [from WHSmiths], and random chocolates n sweets
Off me ma n da I had mainly a 19″ Widescreen Monitor with lotsa different cables n stuff so can use it as a TV [which i do occasionally if there is nothing on that side of the desktop] and lotsa other things. I like having 2 screens
Off other family I mainly had money, bout £150 in all which is ok since I am quite a bit in debt
That be about it methinks
Greatest present at all tho cannot be seen - I’ve patched things up with aa certain some1 that I missed. I think things will be better now
Well - Merry Christmas mate! hope to see you before the new year and many times in it.
Have fun!
