So what has everyone got??
I received a bunch of small gifts, nothing major. Got a few shirts, a food flask, a screwdriver set, a pair of book ends (lol?), a book for 8 year olds and a games board.
Someone say something interesting!!!

Everyone was lazy and pooled their money to get me one huge Bunning gift voucher... I'll probably get a new mower. My sister got me a nice wallet and I can now retire the current one I've had since high school... that wallet needs to be retired after 18 years of being lovingly compressed by my ample buttocks. What else? Some t-shirts, collogne and booze... Nothing too offensive or exciting.
I was however quite sneaky and bought a few people box sets of dvds that they would enjoy... and I will possibly borrow at some stage to watch myself.

I got some cookies. That is all. This year my family finally agreed to my "give no presents, receive no presents" philosophy, thus I received no useless gifts, and did not have to go shopping for useless gifts. Everyone in my family just buys whatever they want during the year so the only presents you can buy are the useless "buying a present for the sake of it" presents. Xmas lunch was pretty insane tho...

For once I didn't actually get anything for christmas but my parents did pay for my trip to Thailand where my brother got married so I guess that justifies that.

I sneakily bought the missus tickets to IRON MADEN from EBay for $400 bucks. She in return bought me tickets to OZZY OSBOURNE all gold seating…

Shit I forgot that Ozzy was playing ... must see that....
Might see iron Maiden too... I get a free ticket for them if my mates ex won't let his son go...which looks likely.

That's a good question Me, and I'd be interested in hearing any opinions on it.
It crossed my mind, and I thought of getting the latest advice here, but - with my limited knowledge - and the fact that they might sell out of them - I thought it seemed lik a good deal and even if it wasn't the best deal, it saved me a lot of stuffing around, just buying it and plugging it in..and away it went.

There's something that seems so so wrong about buying a PC from a supermarket.... ah crazy Krauts!
