£50 vouchers for House of Fraser
FURTHER UPDATE
JeanPaul Gaultier collection of his perfums - fab!!!
UPDATE!!!
2 Bottles of Champagne just been delivered - get in!!!!
So far I have got
some nice smelly candles,
chocolates,
wine,
a lovely scarf (although its a bit too near the shade of pink for my liking - but I keep telling myself its more of a fawn colour with a hint of pink - Mr PL said the colour is "flesh" and its vile....
a gorgeous brown leather belt off my boss (with a massive cerise diamante buckle on it - again - there is a bit of pink theme going on here, but the belt is so gorgeous and the leather is fabulous that it detracts from the pink)
One of my other bosses is en route with a gift for me (I asked if it was a good single malt like last year to which he replied "Nah, its f**kin ace, your are really gonna love it......!!" mmmmmmmmm wonder what it can be
I love my bosses.......!!!
3 more bottles of champagne, 1 bottle of wine and a box of fine belgian chocolates......

!Fortnum and Masons hamper en route to me from a supplier. Glad I haven't finished the Christmas shopping yet!
I'm sure I've done the "you lucky thing, my supplier gave me nothing this year, not even a cheeky line" gag before, though I assumed it was here?!
