so,
with the international dateline location places like Fiji,New Zealand, Australia etc get christmas before you guys in europe and the US...
so thought it would be a good idea to post what we all got for christmas and if it was what you hoped for...
so i'll start off...
$100 for cds from my parents
$150 for cds from Dani
along with an Elvis calender and a KISS t-shirt...
i knew she would come through with my cd voucher even though she said she wouldnt....
so i got what i wanted and not what i needed...again! phew!
now, the cd vouchers may seem like a lot of money, but cds here are double the price of the UK and almost triple the price of the US so i guess its the equivelant of $80US, 110UK pounds as an educated guess.

Music wise...got a voucher as well. Problem is....CH is gonna follow me around and tell me not to buy what I'm looking at 'cos he already has that one! Might have to get a dvd of a live concert instead ;-)
Other than that...my main prezzies ...a new mobile phone, a $200 voucher from my favourite piercing salon YAY...more piercings on the way..., jewellery, fishing gear,pampering products etc etc etc...was spoilt rotten!
Had a great day..spent with my kids at my ex's house...best part is my CH was with me there too...accepted as a new family member :-) thats what Christmas is all about...being with your loved ones...and that I was!
Hope you all have a safe and memorable day and it continues on throughout 2012

yeh, Dani's ex and i get on pretty well...got a $50 voucher from him, then i got a $30 voucher from Dani's mum today...thats a whoppong $330 for cds...choices and decisions are a bitch sometimes!....the average retail price for cds here is $30, luckily for me Corey puts the prices down anywhere from $10-$15 for me, so thats probably anywhere from 15-30 cds...and no, Jerome, the Pink Floyd boxset is not on the list!

Santa wa generous this year I must say ! $125.00, anywhere from 6-12 CDs or maybe a few DVD concerts ? Grandkids gave me a CD - The Beatles - 27 song compilation, so couldn't go wrong.
