A couple of hardbacks - Fleshmarket Close by Ian Rankin and the (huge) final part of The Dark Tower by Stephen King (which is handy, seeing as I haven't read the previous 6 parts - bless my dear old Mum).

Plus some clothes and vouchers, the usual.

I'm currently enjoying my present to myself, bought when I moved house...

Well I almost knocked out my 3 years old nieces tooth’s when I was trying to open my present.
It turned out to be beer, and the little girl is still afraid of me. :(
