What did you get? And any presents you bought go down particularly well?

Mr LPH bought me lots of lovely things including a Breville as my ancient old one broke a while back. I was lying in bed at 2am pondering if it would be wrong to get up and make myself a turkey, cranberry and brie toastie.

Stu was surprised but very pleased to get a Garmin bike sat nav. He's got no sense of direction so I'm hoping this might help.

My younger nephew really loved a milk frother and fancy hot chocolate. I bet he'll be making a mess with that at home this morning.

Stu's nephew and niece were delighted with the karaoke machine. Watching my father in law doing Erasure was worth the cost of it alone!

Nothing camera related this time, but I did get a Superdry hoodie, a pair of Sketcher boots, a G Shock watch, couple of tyres for my work bike and a Givi backpack.

Lee Filter System starter kit and adaptor ring. Just need to save up for the filters now.

Lady Poppy rather liked the bluetooth speaker I got her, especially the excellent bass response when she tried it on some Zeppelin.

Best thing I got was a Lavazza Stove-top coffee maker. I'll be honest I'm not a huge coffee drinker but my lord the coffee out of this thing is stunning. I may well develop a coffee habit.

I got a trackday voucher, new Gopro as I am of to New Zealand next year, some car cleaning stuff and I gave my dad a brake caliper rebuild kit to wrap for me that I bought myself as the GSXR caliper aren't as good as they could be. Happy with my haul :)

I got one too, along with a pizza stone as I make my own pizza bases from scratch.

Enough liquorice to put me in A&E. Some crap the missus wanted so gave it to me. Got myself some new gloves and a big old case to put some camera gear in. Drunk, got drunk.

And a Trailgator! Knew there was something. My daughter is almost riding her bike independently, hopefully by spring she will be riding on her own without me needing to run along as shepherd. She's 5 in a couple of weeks.

A late present my wife had forgotten to give me, no not the dslr, not the carbon wheels for my push bike. Just a jar of sweets, possibly the best present of the lot.

I got a GitUp action camera. It's a cheap Gopro clone I can take diving or biking.

I just need to work out how to attach it to the bike so it gets a decent forward view without getting covered in salty crap from the road.
