Yes we open the presents on Xmas eve.

8-y-old-daughters Nintendo DSi is already in use :)
Wow - that's cool. Any explanation why on the eve of Christmas?

Yeah - I got my son a book of card tricks - when I get fed up of my mother shouting at my deaf mother in law - I'm gonna go thro the book with him!!!
- I also got him some Mackie speakers for his computer/music.

I was amazed by Thomann - sent a package from Germany Monday 17:20 - I got it yesterday.

The efficiency of the German citizens is to be admired - jeez it would take longer than that to send a letter from Cardiff (UK) to Smelly(tip of Scotland uk) !!

I see - I didn't know that!

I've been away up north a lot and I'm fed up seeing snow!!

It snowed (heavily for Cardiff) a week ago and there is still a lot hanging about - some amazing iceicles too!!!

I haven't seen a white Xmas - but I'm gonna treat tomorrow as one - the field behind me is still covered as is my garden.

Nintendo DS ! All the kids have one ! In fact it's a good gift because after that you can offer some games.

and play yourself, can´t wait to get my hands on it , hehe :)
