Top Five things to do on a Friday night...

I am bored. I decided to stay in and watch Summer of Love and feel faintly petulant instead of going to the cinema, and it is rather dull. So, five things meme?

5 best presents you've ever given/received.

1) I tracked down my mum's favourite book from her childhood and gave it to her for her 50th birthday. I'd been looking for about four years.
2) One Christmas I got a box full of socks and book tokens from my parents. That was ace.
3) I gave TLK a shirt that said "Not now, I'm bleeding".
4) My friend Michele knitted me a scarf in stripes, and one of the stripes has my name knitted in in the squares.
5) Ice Princess!

What was your Mum's favourite book?

Am impressed by the sock/book token option - my dream present!

Nanny's Secret by Imogen Chichester. It's a lovely story - Phillip wants a dolls' house for Christmas, so his Nanny makes him one in secret and gives it to him.

I asked for socks and book tokens that year - but I figured that no-one would actually do it as no-one seems to take me at my word when I say that's what I want out of life.
