Well for me it was a couple of Featherstone books and the final GoT series on DVD :). I'm at that age where I've got everything I need (apart from good knees and back), so these tend to be token presents which I'm happy with.

South Korean army pack, and an Imperialist army pack.
Socks
T-shirts
Smellies
Books
Tools
Chocolate
Wine Gums

Its all good :D

:o :o :o :o

I've got it to work !

I couldn't get it to 'register' last night.....It kept coming back with "please try later"...I expect because oodles of folk were trying to do the same thing with their prezzies.
It nearly made me jump out of my skin, this morning, when it started talking to me !

Now I'll need to find out how to download the/a BBC ap.....And then I'm away.  :-bd

Isn't it! I'm a major BT fan anyway, but I'd resisted as money's right and I have waaaaaaaay too many mechs, but eventually couldn't resist. Love the new sculpts, the Primer and rules and components are lovely and it has cards for Alpha Strike as well! Now I just have to decide what to paint the Mini's as.

I'm leaning towards actual House Marik/FWL as when I did a "Free Worlds League" force a bit again I accidentally got heavily emotionally invested in the Duchy of Andurien but I could go Periphery...

I should have thought your fondness for small table size hex games would be a shoe in for BT, Norm?

Techno, good luck with the tablet. We're getting one for No. 1 daughter over this week, which I suppose will have the advantage of brin relative peace & quiet to the house (imminent arrival of No.2 is why moneys been tight enough it took Cmas for me to get the BT set :D)!

Well, after my Christmas-on-Boxing-Day Meal add the following to the previous list

Field of Glory Card Game
Two more boxes of biscuits
Pack of Galaxy chocolate truffles
Bottle of red wine

.... and a fridge full of left-overs. I must learn to cater for the number coming and not make twice as much "in case they're hungry." :)
