After working the last 25 days straight totally up over 252 hours I'd say I'm far from lazy but then I deal with letter not packets!!

I've only just woken up but I already know I've got some bedding anmd a hoover waiting for me. Not crap I suppose but hardly exciting.

Nice one!

I didn't get all that much except a set of footy DVDs and an awesome book of aerial photos. My parents and both grandmas gave me plenty of money though, which I am more than happy with!

Is it a big or little certificate?  When my kid went from being on mine to being on his own, he presented his little birth certificate to be told he needed a big one...I went a bit ballistic, because not only the cost but the delay meant he couldn't get a replacement certificate in time for his holiday.

Typical bureaucrats had changed the fucking rules without telling anybody...literally the only difference is that it's written on a bigger piece of paper, so might be worth checking which one you've got.

No, I wasn't that lucky althuogh its one of the CDs in the Archive set - Harvest Moon live. The Archives set is a bit too expensive for me. I've got about 50 CDs of his and my wife would file for divorce if I went for the Archives set.

Ended up with £100's of Next Vouchers which will probably take me 6 months to spend and then the array of CD's & Dvd's

About 6 years ago I told my mum in a brief conversation that I liked Jack Daniels and Coke.

Since then my mum has kept the JD whiskey and merchandise profits rising steadily every year. Happily, I just got a bottle this year :) Although I had foolishly stocked up on Christmas Eve.

About 12 years ago I told my mum in a brief conversation that I liked Galaxy chocolate....

Guilty as charged but I'm old and knackered and have had a relationship with STFC longer than I've been married. With such excitement as Eva Longoria I very much doubt I'd even get my trousers off before I spurted so STFC it is for me.
But you never actually answered my question. Would you like to do so.
