Dear me.
So far, my favourites are the Irish tin whistles, and the purple satin negligee. Er, thanks Mom. Could I BE more celibate? I'm a slinky Celtic nymph with nowhere to go. Shocked

Mom sent us a 4lbs box of chocolates from Roger's in Victoria (those of you who know what it is are probably drooling right now).

http://www.rogerschocolates.com

I couldn't think of anything else I wanted or needed, so I got my wife to buy me a few bottles of imported beer (it came with a free glass!). Of course, to use chiaa's line, my wife and son made off like bandits.
