Not at all. I am not jealous whatsoever at shaunbhoy who had first thread over 1000 posts that I managed to beat after very long effort, and I am certainly not childish enough to be jealous at sasguru who created this thread, I ain't jealous I am telling ya!

Post envy sinking in, is it?

I'm aiming to hit 10000 on Christmas Day.

jealous.

of all you people posting here in tpd when i can't.

The gap must still be nearly 1000 posts at the top of the table, though?

My dear nieces are still getting chocolate and cash, but with a twist.

Whenever I get a pound coin with a dragon on the back, I put it to one side. I originally started doing this when I was poverty-stricken and had a girlfriend - the ones with dragons on were uncommon enough that I didn't mind putting them aside, and during the course of a year they would build into a healthy sum to be spent on birthday presents for the girlfriend.

Now that both the poverty and the girlfriend are gone, I still do this, but I use them as presents for my nieces, who think they are "cool", apparently.

So this year they shall each be getting a jewellery box filled with a mixture of chocolate coins and pound coins with dragons on the back.

Sorting them so they can find out how much they've got will keep them entertained for a few minutes, hopefully.

I pulled a similar stunt last year with purses and they were delighted with it

I think I've got about £180 pounds in dragons at the moment, so they won't be getting them all...

jewelery

I have a Terramundi at home for £2 coins in it and the occasional note.

Last year we finally cracked it open and spent the £540!

Arfur: What'll I get for Christmas for 'er indoors?
Terry: Don't tell me your problems, 'cos this one's yours.
Arfur: That's typical. There's no respect.
Terry: You make me laugh, you do.
Arfur: No, Terrence, please...
Terry: Just leave me out
Arfur: After all I've done for you!
Both: What're we gonna get for 'er indoors?

Ah, they don't make Christmas songs like that any more.....

Not here - the communal aerial has got filters on it (designed to improve analogue reception) which block the frequencies used for four of the seven digital TV multiplexes.

So lots of channels don't make it through to my box thing

Boo.
