have you all worked out how to use your pressies?
my christmas nightmare was my coffee machine (DeLonghi) 
it makes cappacino, expresso etc and has a steam device on it for frothing the milk, and giving you third degree burns. i have finaly mastered it this morning and am now drinking a lovely cappacino after wasting two tons of coffee beans
i thought my new breadmaker (Breadman Russell Hobbs) was going to be what done my head in but as i had no weighing scales i was unable to weigh the flour so it is still unused and my dream of homemade bread and coffee in the morning will have to wait
has anyone else had a pressie nightmare?

I got IM a remote controlled helicopter - a big outdoors jobbie.
Lift-off is proving troublesome to master - but we're off to some jolly big fields near us at the weekend to have another bash!

Would you like an instructional demonstration on you tube?
The orange bit on top of the gun is like a catapult, so when you press the trigger it fires a chicken in the catapult on top. Boring really!
The mate who got me that had 2 bottles of finest ale in return as his pressie. Im feeling cheated! lol
