I got!
a pin protractor with a butterfly stencil in the center, its far too small to meassure angles accuratly, im dissapointed :(
pink*
:(
a hat!
i got a bottle opener
i was really pleased
me too
and a comb, so i can drink AND look cool!
(as if drinking didn't already make me look cool...)
A makeup set that my sister took,
a scratchcard that I won £2 on.
Scratchies have been a theme of this festive season for me.
i got
a REALLY TINY PACK OF CARDS
i was utterly delighted.
as usual, i got everything
cos im the only person in the family who is amused by tat, so i combined a biro and a little notpad to make a flicker book, with plot details mapped out by my family. mainly my brother
* paedometer
Rubbish kaleidoscope
.
Mini Playing cards
plastic frog
nail clippers
and there's still crackers left, score!
*pedantometer
fucking hell
crackers for millionaires, mine had a small plastic magnifying glass and a hat. not even a joke. the best present anyone in my family had in one was a ten inch tape measure made of paper. i live in poverty.
...
Three hair clips - very useful.
Six oversized colourful paper clips - now a bracelet.
Two compasses which point in different directions.
A phone book
one playing card.
I prefered the jokes.
My favourite ever joke coming up. Simply a classic:
Q What do you need to know to be an auctioneer?
.

. A. Lots
ho ho ho ho ho ho
haaaaahahahahah
that's amazing. stolen.
i likedmy joke
why do barber s make good drivers?
. .
.
.
.
.
. becuase they know all the shortcuts!
= D
I wish Robbie Coltrane gave me my presents
...
a toothbrush
and a hairclip. Hurrah!
a tiny yellow luminous horse
with a weight at its base and an axle across its middle which attaches to some wheels. with this ingenious setup you can push it along for ages and no matter how far its head overbalances in one direction, it rights itself!
yay!
Last few I got
were a shitty magnifiying glass, a purple hair bobble and a little toy car. The car, at least, caused a few minutes of amusement.
a very small
clothes brush.
miniature playing cards
we played blackjack for agesss.
and of course, a party hat.
An extremely small
Nail clipper...and a yo yo.
Oh and
not forgetting the same joke in both crackers (Q: Why did the human canon ball lose his job? A. Because he got fired!) and a couple of paper hats.
Clockwork tortoise, result!
My paper hat fell in the gravy boat though... sort of took the edge of christmas for me.
i got a corkscrew, a red paper hat and a crap joke
A hat which I wore until it broke
and a pirates eye patch.
whoopie cushion
2.7 seconds of pure aural humour
A hip flask
Apparantly this is how Fortnum & Mason do Christmas crackers.
