A whole tin of baked beans. Plenty to eat Christmas Day this year. :mrgreen:
Pants, socks, new BMW E60 535D inlet manifold.
Mainly books (and not e-books, I tried reading “Castles of Steel” on a tablet once, never again) and the go-ahead to order parts for another 3D printer.
bloody socks, what did I do to deserve this crap
Nada' I guess im still on the naughty list.
socks, bag of oranges, panda calendar, couple of jigsaws, Jaffa cakes, panda hat with attached scarf, chocolate elf, animotsu panda
Nothing, box was open and damaged so I returned it.
an Amazon gift card, a mug, Metal Gear Rising and some money and a lot of sweets. I guess its better than nothing so I'm happy.
New CD player that is also a DAB with internet stations, my mum found 16 of my missing Megadrive games and also wrapped those up top go with the CD player. I also got a Monsters Inc clock (has LED light behind it and is kind of like an old vinyl record that has been etched and cut to shape- Its really cool), ALso got a Monsters Inc rug for my game room. On top of that I got a Commodore 64 T Shirt and mug.
So pretty cool I must admit
I did also win a boxed ZX Spectrum +2 in a raffle over Christmas so will be getting that in the New Year, believe it is the earlier grey +2 machine and is a Dixons pack, REALLY looking forward to getting the machine and bundle of games.
Still waiting for my ZX Omni, I believe that mine will be getting dispatched late January

Laser Squad, that's pretty much all we played on ours. We took turns to leave the room so we couldn't cheat! How I miss those days of listening to the tape sound when it was loading on even older Spectrums…
As for what I got for Christmas? Stuff. :vacant:
Clothes and christmas cards.
One small chocolate selection box!
What did I get? A hefty dent in my bank balance.
no pants or socks- which i always used to be given when i was young and not wanting- now that i`m of an age where such things would be both practical and welcome.
did get jaffa cakes tho :]
Materrial things? Exactly what I wanted, and asked for. Nothing.
Non-material? Some quality family time, including with some elderly and not well members, for who we may or may not get another chance. Priceless.
Amazfit Pace smartwatch. Well impressed and has just had a nice update too!
I'm always boring when it comes to Christmas and Birthdays, if theres stuff i want, I generally buy it myself as and when..
Socks, boxers, jeans, jumpers, traininers, smellies..
The only thing I said i wanted was a new iPad as my mini2 is about dead, but don want to buy one myself as the mini4 is long in the tooth now so waiting until the new revision before I buy one myself….
2 ltr bottles of Southern Comfort , red wine chocolates and biscuits , oh and a headache.
Too many expenses this year so I get nothing but that's ok, it's more important to me to spend Christmas with my family.
A nice warm cap & a bottle of Scotch.
A new reclining armchair, a bottle of Champagne from Sally's work raffle, she doesnt drink fizz, two bottles of red wine which is frustrating in the least, as I had to stop drinking red a year ago.
A box of Turkish delight from the grandkids - they know me so well, and a bottle of Spicy Pumpkin Baileys - TRULY revolting !
A jacket off my brother and his wife, I think they worry about me keeping warm, I'm getting on in year and live on my own. I on the other hand bought myself a Samsung MZ-V7E1T0BW 970 EVO 1TB M.2 . Next Christmas I might just treat myself to one last PC build.
Red Bull F1 top and baseball cap, Chocolates, beard trimmer, longish lie ( kids didn't get up until 9am )
Depressed. Bloomin' non event as per usual…
Time away with the good lady. Yeah, don't need much more tbh.
Edit: yeah, after reading that back it also made a little bit of sick try to come up :)
Tangible presents were modest this year by request, but we got some good times with friends and family that were worth far more.
A Fitbit Charge 3. I already had a MiiFit 3, but this is much better at telling me I'm not moving enough.
Pants, Socks. Books. Also a lie-in. Well, kind of. 7am instead of the usual 5am…
Lots of socks and a personalised jar of Nutella, yum yum!
Too many sweets! Still working my way through them now…
That's not strictly true, you can never have too many sweets.
