have you all worked out how to use your pressies?
 

my christmas nightmare was my coffee machine (DeLonghi) :mad:

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 :thumb:

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 :p

has anyone else had a pressie nightmare? :D

Well i got a dartboard and i think i just about have that covered ;)

just dont lose the instructions :D

lol, the biggest problem it is going to give me is where to put it?

I got my mother-in-law to hold mine ;)

just put batteries in it, isn't that what you normally do squarsey ? :norty:


Mart :D

I've had no problems working out how to use my new pants

i bet you put both legs through one hole :p

i now have a bun in the oven:luxhello:

3 hours and i will be eating my own bread :cool:

i changed the fuse twice before i realized that there was a switch on the back of the machine to switch it on :lol1:

Typical woman thing...I ask you :rolleyes:

you wont say that when you smell my bread wafting through Harpenden :D

maybe not, I love the smell of freshly baked bread:luvlove:

I havent yet, got the xbox 360, and have connected to my home network, it sees all my streamed films on my pc just wont play them, blooming microsoft grrrrr

So thats why Darren is moving then. Before you burn the town down :D

I got a nespresso, a doddle :D

ive already burnt myself on mine, chips :cry:

ive got 15 minutes to wait for my bread to finish baking. i ran out of bread last night but vowed not to go out and buy any from a shop:D

That's odd. I normally get to taste stale prawns. :norty: :eek:

i can recommend a good breath freshner if you have bad breath :thumb:

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! :D

you could fit a camera to it and spy on your neighbours :D

my daughter got a remote control Subaru which can beat my car off the line:eek2:

i crashed it as soon as i had a go :lol1:

The only thing i have had difficulty with was a 'Chicken Chucker'

Nothing broken or complicated with it, but im having difficult asking myself, "Why?"
:confused:

wtf is one of those? :lol1:

please dont tell me it was a pressie :Suspiciou

what bit is the catapault? :D

Coffee doo dah thingamijigs..:D

ahhhhhh see what you mean now :lol1:

it is a bit dangerous but i know what i am doing now. it has two coffee jugs so it was very duanting :thumb:

ive made a loaf of bread today. it was delicious (not in the coffee maker) :notworthy

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

Hmmm fresh coffee and fresh bread.......<Homer style dribble......>:D
