Wii party from Amazon-it will be a Christmas present for the girls. 
I just have to double check and make sure that I have the same number of presents for each, but I think I'm finished with buying presents for the girls.   :)

My Kindle arrived! :) It's sitting next to me looking shiny (and a few coworkers have already asked to try it out).

Looking forward to playing with it after work.

Pioneer Woman Cooks!  I think I may be developing an unhealthy obsession with cookbooks.

I agree!!  And can an obsession with cookbooks really be unhealthy?  ;)

Oh!  I might have to put that on my Xmas list!

My new issue (January) of Prima magazine came in the post today.

We're still getting post from the previous tenants. My current favourite: The Rail Technology Magazine. Cover story: "Why passengers prefer queues to ticket machines". Honestly, it's like one of those feature publications you'd see on Have I Got News For You.

My pay slip with my 13p per hour pay raise and a bit of overtime.  Yipee!  ::)  but really, I am grateful for it even though I'm worth so much more.  This time next month there will be loads of overtime pay on it!  :)

Our first Christmas card!  And it wasn't from persephone either - I thought our first one might be from her, because she's so on the ball with everything this year.  However, it was from another person on this website...  :D

Also, our latest Lovefilm rental movie - it was supposedly posted on Nov 23rd & only turned up today!  We thought it had been lost in the post - maybe in a snow drift somewhere?  :P

Mine is going into the post today!  I just haven't been able to get to the post office the past few days.  This afternoon is the day!
