Have you bought yourself a Christmas present?

[Yvette]

I always buy myself a Christmas present.

This is what I have bought for myself this year - although not from this website - it is the only image I could find of my Rudolph.  I just couldn't resist him.

Awww! He's so sweet!

I was going to buy myself a pair of coloured crutches, but am having problems in finding ones to suit my hands.

My cousin bought a Xmas reindeer a couple of years ago with red plastic ears which waggle as it 'sings' a seasonal song when you touch it. Her grand children love it. Its become a regular Xmas feature.

Its really annoying but at the same time rather endearing. Sorry. >reindeer<

I think that sounds like good innocent festive fun - after all, tis only once a year!

My Christmas present to myself is usually a box of (rather expensive) crystallised fruits, which I get with the DWP's Christmas Bonus ..

not so far but computer could do with a slight upgrade trouble is last time I upgraded I ended up building a completely new system.

NN, you can buy 'skins' for crutches so if you can find a set to suit your hands, you may be able to get a skin to jazz them up.

Luv the reindeer Yvette.   >biggrin<

My present to myself this year is going to be another pussy-cat.  As soon as the kitchen is finished I'll be down at the Pets Protection people.

Awwww, what a lovely thing to have to look forward to auntie  :-) >blackcat<

[auntieCtheM]

Yes, I am looking forward to it very much.  This time I hope to get one that is not quite so dribbly as the last.

I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat, I'm getting a cat,

A cuddly cat for Christmas  >biggrin<   >blackcat<

I bought myself a ticket to see the Mediaeval Baebes in concert in Gloucester Catherdral.  I treat myself every christmas to a ticket to see them play live.

Auntie - that's brilliant news!  >cool< >blackcat< >cool<

Leg_Iron, sounds great. Used to go every year to see the Messiah being performed, and it was always magnificent.

Yvette - can't seem to find any skins for forearm crutches available in the UK.

Google did turn these up, though:

The red looks nice. They'll have to wait until my birthday though,as they're pricey, and I need to replace my old faithful pair, and their Fetterman tips, which are brilliant incidentally, so thanks for the advice on these!

I love the Mediaeval Baebes and have all their CDs.

Hi Yvette, have you got their latest album, "The Huntress"?  It was released a couple of weeks ago.  I pre-ordered it.
