Re: Present surprise
My wife always gets me sensible presents and really listens to me because she always gets a little something that I need or miss having.About a two months ago my work watch stopped so I thought it must be battery and I got another one fitted - bit annoyed that it was a special battery and cost nearly half what the watch cost me 7 months earlier but I've got a thing about time and watches.
3 weeks later the bliddy thing stopped again so it's not worth doing anything but chucking it so I've been wearing my pager all the time instead but old habits die hard so I've missed a watch.
My wife bought me another one!
She also noticed my thermal gloves have had-it so I've got a new pair and I broke my magnifying glass that I use a lot so I've got a new one!
None of these things were expensive but all are useful and greatly appreciated so for me that's the nice bit! stevmk2

Re: Present surprise
Living on my own I normally don't get many Christmas presents but this year really was an exception. I was given gifts of chocolates, biscuits and fruit from some of my Hungarian friends, a cubic metre of logs and ｣20 from the local council and as always as well as buying presents for my doglets I'd bought a winter coat and some books ... presents from me to me!But the best presents of all was a phone call from my family in the UK saying they'll be coming to stay in August and my 17 year old grandson will be coming over in June as well!
And as an added bonus both dogs decided to go to bed at 7pm which meant I could spend a relaxed evening in front of the fire watching television,
