What are you getting (or hoping to get) for Christmas

[Bobupndown]

I just sorted myself out, see post ~34,000 https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/today-i-acquired.50192/page-1700#post-1977906

Though I did give the wife a list of possibilities for the family, ranging from disposable Tiger gloves to Wera Joker spanners and a collet chuck for my lathe. Funny enough enough since I was a kid most of my presents have been car parts, motorbike parts or tools. I still recall getting a stage 3 head and a piper HR285 Magnum cam for my Escort Mexico when I was 21.

Did get a set of GB minilight alloys one Christmas and bought my wife a stainless exhaust back box for her Cooper one year

Hope to get nothing.
Really.
I don’t like to get unusable things.
Everything I need i will buy immediately.
No need for wasting time and money for waiting on Christmas.

Ah Bum Hug ,,,, lol


Watch out for the ghost of the other two Xmases ..

[ tend to agree with you , Xmas is a time for kids ,,,, and shopkeepers]

2 orange toblerones, courier lost the first one so wife ordered another, both were delivered together the next day.

I’ve got an ender 3 staring at me but I’m not allowed to go near it until Christmas Day

Sex would be good but she will probably have a headache.

A full English breakfast would be good but she will probably burn it.

As for roast turkey lunch well who knows.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Time to play

 

[Onoff]

A sudden, massive clutcher or six numbers. Solve my problems either way.

Merry Christmas!

Buy her some Aspirin and a smoke detector?

 

[MysterG]

Given MrsG paid for my Oxford MIG this year I think I won't be getting much for this or the next few Christmases

 

[Jan-DIY]

we have agreed for years to give the money we would spend on each other to a local dog charity......
Plus when we got married all prezzy's (money, went to the same charity).....
anyway,
we have these bundles of joy to share Xmas with.....
they were found at 2 days old dumped in a forest.....we only take in new born pups....all 7 have homes now and will travel towards the end of January.....
Finland, Holland, 2 to Germany and the rest to the UK...
as for tools I'm allowed to buy what I want, when I want....works for me.....hahaha.....

Wish u all the best....thanks for the forum, a great place to be.....

That’s what Christmas should like to be!
Awesome.

 

[Burdekin]

I’d love a car lift, Santa is a bloody idiot though as he never gets it right.

 

[stevethegrease]

This year, again, I hope to get exactly what I want, Nothing. I have too much stuff and I need to slim down if anything not something I find easy to do tbh.

 

[vw-al]

I should be getting a new trolley jack but Zoro have decided, in the spirit of Christmas to send me a wooden handled snow shovel instead. Honestly, I kid you not, surely they can tell the difference between a trolley jack and a snow shovel !

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Nowt as usual, but there again I don't buy any either. Talking to a lad at work today who has spent over a grand on his G/F and reckons she's spent the same on him, utter madness

And they may still be paying for them next Christmas....

And they say romance is dead ,,, lol

Two happy people, what more could you want?

 

[winchman]

I do feel its very commercialised when really all most of us need is a few days off and spent with family or friends. Hoping to have nice day out tomorrow and sit back and watch all the madness

I must admit the one time I used them they where shockingly bad so never again

 

[MattF]

Sex would be good

I can condense the sentence to just that, in my case.

 

[Onoff]

Sex would be good

Sex used to be good.

Sex used to be good.

To be honest it’s lost its appeal since I got sent to prison…
