if you really want to know....
:D
$50 AU for Bunnings
a lovely 2" QEV
and a tap and die set

and what is really cool is I'm getting heaps of pipe and fittings for my b'day in early march yes, I do do other stuff except spudding! That being said, I still don't have a social life, most of the rest of my time is divided between computer and ps3. It's cool that I get heaps of stuff for Christmas as I was born into a wealthy family, but my dad is so stingy he holds a coin so hard the queen suffocates, so I don't have an allowance, I have to earn my money, except of course Chrissy and my birthday at which I'm in the money!!!

2" QEV ?!? I didn't know they made them that big. I got a 4' golf ball barrel, and a 2" sprinkler valve which will get here in 2 days.

I failed in asking for spud relating gifts as well, but I did get $1000 to do with as I please so I'm gonna try and crank out a new "toy" before I head back to college.

Sounds like the rest of ya'll got some good gifts though. Christmas is a great spudding holiday.
