I am surprised haw many presents people receive. Who do they all come from? I am given presents by DH, both children and both grandchildren and that is all. I do not exchange presents with any one outside immediate family.

I must be a flower!

Cath Kidston bags, glasses case, passport holder.
Orla Kiely mugs, towels, umbrella. Sweet smelling L'Occitane toiletries.

Or like you, NanaandGrampy a child at heart!

Tickets to West End musicals like Matilda, Aladdin or the Lion King.

Big birthday this past weekend accompanied by a huge family party with a Florida beach theme in the garden.

My family threw themselves in it with gusto and a great time was had by all.

Today, I finally have some time to look at my gifts and had to chuckle at the eclectic mix. I wonder what it says about me if these are the things my family thought I would want !!

1. Several bottles of champagne .....boozer?
2. Fully blinded out walking stick covered in crystals ....Essex girl of course!
3. A working police siren, lights and number plates for my mobility scooter ! .....law breaker?
4. A gift basket stuffed with chocolates and a ticket to a drive in movie to see Top Gub ..... 80's chocoholic?
5. Several vouchers for meals out in my favourite places for 2 people .....glutton ?
6. A machine to clip under the seat of my mobility scooter that blows bubbles....child at heart?

So.....I'm a drunk Essex girl, with criminal tendencies, likes chocolate, old movies , eats too much and is young at heart !! Lol

So what did your birthday presents say about you ?
