Wow Brenda, what a present! :D
I believe Hally is right... no Haighs in WA ;)

Cookie was in SA recently though - the home of Haighs 😉

Don't think I'll open mine today, might wait until Tuesday. I don't usually get surprises on Xmas morning so this will make a nice change.

I rang my SS.  What a lovely person.  I knew it was someone young from the writing on the post package but really didn't have a clue.  Very nice to talk to you SS. I could hear the kiddies in the background,  very Christmassy. Thanks to Amy for such a nice idea and for such wonderful organization.

How lovely Chookie.  I wonder who it was.

SS has definitely brought the forum plenty of Xmas cheer this year  ;D

Maddy, how perfect is that pink apron for you and to have the model to sit it on - perfect.  I think I know your SS ;)
You and I would be a perfect match - me in my pretty pink and blue Kath Kidston and you in your bright pink Thermomix apron - now, what a photo that would be.  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* Thanks for my lovely presents.

I've just opened mine, & was so happy to receive Jamie's 15 minute meals. I was going to buy this book during the week, but something told me i should wait until after Christmas! I'm so glad I waited.

Thank you SS (I know who you are), I really love it. Thank you Amy for your idea & your organisation of the whole thing, as it has really made lots of people very happy. All of that, as well as all the lovely cards you sent us, has been so exciting.

I think it was really fun watching people open their gifts at different times, and it's great that there are some who'll be opening gifts on Tues. The fun is not over yet!

Lovely gifts everyone.
Maddy I love that apron so much I think I want one too! Didn't realise they came in pink. Just perfect for you.
So who is next?  There must be some more.

It is utensils to use with a cheese and pâté platter I'm thinking, I have seen them and admired them.
