Talking Best / Worst Christmas Pressie.....

Whilst watching TV last night a Currys ad came on - I thought great what TV's Cameras or MP3 players have they got on offer................ but oh no, they had a sale on WASHING MACHINES!

At this point Ark suggested I might like a new washing machine for Christmas (yes, he is still breathing, just!)

Anyway, got me thinking, what is the best or worst Christmas pressie you've given or received......

My best Christmas pressie ever has got to be the Mig Welder Ark bought for me - then tried to convience me we did really both want one.....

Best by far was the following when I was about 8 or 9:

Opened up all my presents and had loads of great stuff, then mum & dad asked me to let the dog out, went to the door moved the curtain to one side and was met with this:





Still miss that bike

best present was TCR (my mate saw my dad walking out of Zodiac toys shop, a few days prior to xmas, and tipped me off about it)

and the worst was probably a jumper 2 sizes to big and about 20 years out of date !!
in fact i might give it to Kinslow this year !!

Cheeky s0d!!

Best I got was either a Raleigh Burner BMX in chrome, all my mates had the gold one, but the chrome looked sooo much better

OR

A Scalextric set which me and Dad spent hours setting up so it went round the christmas tree and under the dinning table, had the Porsche 911's with working headlights and was fantastic, the cat didn't seem too impressed though

Worst I got was an out of date jar of Haywoods pickled onions, was a smelly year that one!
