We gave up buying each other presents couple of years back and spend the money on daughter now so she can have more, had a great time and she was made up with all her presents bless her. We just do Christmas kids only presents now with friends and family as gets so expensive.

The daughter got everything... 😂
Me and the wife have booked to see Bon Jovi next year @ Anfield
We decided late November to have a new boiler fitted, and had it moved out of one of the bedrooms and moved into the utility downstairs...

the usual really
smellies, clothes, socks/pants, money, shoes, alcohol.
also booked me and the wife a little mini break up the lakes for the new year at a nice 5 star hotel/spar etc
honestly the best gift i can get is watching my 3 year old son opening his presents and then getting to join in playing with his stuff (especially his drum kit haha)

There are also a fair few 360 vr videos about, YouTube has quite a lot where you can walk around in the video. Fair enough you can't go far but I'm sure as it gets more popular it will only improve.

I bought as a present to myself a Civic Type R to replace a total bag of shit Volvo S60 auto I bought due to breaking my left ankle a few months ago. Changing gear is still a very painful exercise but I can live with that if it means I don't have to clap eyes on that Swedish bastard ever again! 
I was just going to get just a normal, cheap little Focus to run about in but this year has been the worst year of my life so far so I wanted something nice to cheer meself up a bit!
Onwards and upwards! 
Also got some socks, shitloads of sweets, a DVD, a calendar, some aftershave and best of all I got to spend some time with my little girl!

Pain is your friend, lets you know you're alive apparently!!
Thats the thing, once you do damage to things, they're never right again!
The hospital I went to told me I'd sprained my ankle badly and let me hobble out of the hospital. Me being me didn't rest it as 'it's just a sprain' and I've had loads of those before so carried on working. Months later and still suffering, saw doc and sent to hospital, turns out I'd broken it!! Now it's healed to a point but not correctly so I'm in a lot of pain with it and I don't know what the next step will be 
Still I'm in a FAR better position than a hell of a lot people so I'm in no position to moan really.
It's a 58 plate FN2 mate. Everyone told me to go for an EP3 but I prefer the look of the FN2. People say it's not so much of a drivers car but I think it handles well and goes ok for what it is, it's quite fun actually!
It's not the tidiest example I could find but I didn't want a mint one, I wanted one to get my teeth into and tinker with as I no longer have my Cossie so I was getting bored!
You still got your 5 turbo? Not really been active on here for a good while now so I don't know what's what these days! Lol!

Exactly mate, shouldn't have to give up on what you enjoy because of an injury, it's what we enjoy!

and agree on the pain thing iv currently got what i think is a pinched nerve in my neck and its not half giving me some grief
also 100% on when something is damaged it never really goes back to how it was before my ankle drives me insane daily.
iv never had chance drive one of the fn2 type r's but i did have a go of a couple of ep3's one was standard one had quite a bit of work done and i fount them both to be really good cars tbh.
what are your plans for the type r?
No mate not got the 5gtt anymore sold it in 2014 as we were getting married/setting up a new home and having my son, but now its all done and in place so iv got my fiesta rs turbo and an st180 as a daily.

Never mind, could be a whole load worse 
Not going to do much mod wise to the Civic (I say that now!
), just going to sort out the bits that need doing and tidy it right up I miss my old fez turbo, great little car that I should never have sold!
Is your one standard or you done a few bits to it?I do like the ST180's one of my friends has got one, she hasn't let me drive it properly yet though, I think she's scared I'll break it!

They might be decent but my one skipped the quality control department I think! I've owned some unreliable cars in my time but this one took the biscuit! Most unreliable car I've ever owned! Everytime I went out in it I wondered what would break next! I only bought one of those because loads of people said they were bulletproof!!
It was so small inside too! Even my little one was cramped in it and you couldn't fit bugger all in the boot of any fair size! Useless!Its all getting a little bit better now thanks mate, start of a new year very soon so onwards and upwards!
Shes doing very well mate thanks, crazy little monkey she is!
How's your little man? Did you have a good Christmas?

Yeh Gaz I'm fine. My little boy is 2 n 8 months old now. Was your volvo a diesel? I thought you had a mk1 focus rs? You sold the cossie as well didn't you??
My family had a good Xmas. I've needed the break from work cause it's been getting to me a bit these last few months.

Ive found my ankle and my left knee (broke that too a few years ago) are really painful in the cold weather and when I get up in the mornings my ankle is in agony

sounds like a plan with the civic mate
im starting to build a bond with my rs turbo but its been a slow burner due to having do so much to get it where it is, 2019 should see me putting alot of miles on her.
link to my rs turbo thread which will explain it much better haha
