What we did for Christmas....!

 today we bounced up and down on the bed long enough to get Andrea up so we could open our prezzies!!!

 George got this from Dilly!  He loves it!!!

 Then Tango opened his prezzie from Bob....

OH WOWEE!!!

They're underpants!!!!! 

 There were three other prezzies from Bob and Dilly but we weren't sure which was for Andrea and which was for me.  We opened this one first.....

 OH!! Squeezy keys for getting paint out of tubes!!  They must be for Andrea!

 What's this one???

OH WOW!!!  A Marbled tree!!  We love it!

 Then there was this one.....

 Oh what fun!!  These must be mine!!!!

Thanks Bob and Dilly!!

 Then we opened a prezzie we got in the Terrier SOS auction.....

 Oh those'll be handy!!

 Then we opened some prezzies we got for Andrea!!!

 We got her a Northern Lights bath bomb!!!

 And some Yog Nog soap!  That smells yummo!

 then there were these....

 They're bubble bars!!!  You break a bit off and crumble it under running taps and it makes loads of smelly bubbles!!!  Tango liked the orange one best

 Then we got her these two.....

A Honey Bee bath bomb and some Reindeer Rock soap!!  She really liked these!!

 THEN we had breakfast!!!  Hot Croissants and coffee!!!

 After breakfast, me and Andrea walked over to her Mum and Dad's for lunch.

We left some weathergrams at bus stops on the way!!!

 It's good fun doing this!!!

 We saw some pretty things in shops too!

 I like that tree!

 There's lots of bus stops on this road, which is good!

 And lots of trees in windows!!

 We had gorgeous weather today.....

 We saw a big Christmas tree at Palmeira Square.....

 And then we walked up to the park.....

 And up to where Mum and Dad live.  We had a ton of food there and lots of fizzy champagne too!!!  AND lots of presents!!  It was great fun!

 After that, we packed up our presents and had a walk back through the park to come home!

 And lost a few more weathergrams on the way!!!

 The tree at Palmeira Square had its' lights turned on when we came back!!!

 And got home just in time to see the sun go down!!!  What a lovely day!!!

Andrea got a box of four horror DVDs!!!  Those look really scary!!

 And we also got the Nosferatu DVD.  Apparently that's famous.

 And here are the books that we got.  I think we're going to be busy reading!!!

What a fun day out!

Beanie At The Manga Show, Day Three and Prizes!

Monday was our last day at the youth hostel!!!

We had another early breakfast of toast and jam, cornflakes and coffee!!!

Then we had to pack up and move out!!!

Just as well we left early though..... it wasn't a bank holiday last Monday like it usually is (we have two extra days next week because of the Queen) so all the buses were packed solid with commuters!!!  One of them didn't even bother stopping, it was so full up!!

Eventually, we managed to get on one back to the station!!

Here we are about to go over the Thames!!!

There's the Houses of bastards Idiots again.....

We got off at the side entrance of Victoria Station, because that was closer to the platform we had to get to!

Good idea Batman!!

And we still had time to spare before the train left!!

Excellent!!!

And we're off.....

And then we got off and walked home!  (it only takes us ten minutes!)

I got another stamp in my passport too!  I love my passport!!!

Andrea showed me the shopping she bought at the Manga show!  She got a Steampunk radio show CD...

And a Steampunk ring!  Wow!

Now for the freebies!!  If you'd like a chance to win any of the following items (starting with the DVD shown above) then leave a comment on this post.  I'll announce all the winners on Sunday 10th June.

The first item up for grabs is a Anime DVD of "Astro Boy" - this will ONLY PLAY ON EUROPEAN MACHINES!! 

The second and third items are two DVDs that are exactly the same, so two people can sign up for this.  Anime DVD "The Movie Eurekan", again this will ONLY PLAY ON EUROPEAN MACHINES.

Now, the next four items are Manga books...... we found a very good deal on a traders stall where if we bought two books, we got another two for free, so out of the following four books, pick TWO ONLY that you'd like to read starting with the above, "Red Hot Chili Samurai vol.1". 

First come first served on this deal.

(I don't mind which two are regarded as the "free books" so pick any two!!)

2nd choice, "Demon Diary, vol 2"

3rd choice "Fate Stay Night vol 8"

and fourth choice "Future Diary, vol 10".

I may re-offer the other two once I've read them, so watch this space!!!!

This book is a separate offer from the others - it's actually a left over freebie from last years' Manga show of which I got several copies and this is the last one left. 

It's a selection of chapters from five other books as a "Taster Pack".

And Finally, this is a left over freebie from a Manga Show from two years ago - front of folder - and it contains 4 discs for a Playstation (believed Sony) and I think they're all the same game.

You can either ask for one of the discs only, or the whole lot and give some away to your friends, I don't mind which!

So..... hope you enjoyed the little trip and good luck on the prize draw!!
