Sorry guys! It's 00:48 and I've just got back to our hotel room, it's been my works do tonight.

Right, it's officially the 14th and the start of our Secret Otter opening weekend!!!!!!

Assuming that CIAT's parcel at the post office is indeed her SS gift, then every single person has received their present!!! I am so proud of you all and so grateful for you being so cooperative and not shouting at me for harassing you Smiley winking

So here we go!!!!! I'm sure you all know this but we'd like a before and after pic if possible please! And then anything else you'd like to add. I'm so excited to see what lovely gifts you all have!!

I'm not cheating, I'm going to wait to open my otter parcel in the morning. I'm sooo tempted but H has convinced me to resist!

I'm sure there will be a reveal thread at some point, but let's focus on the presents for now!! Get unwrapping! Smiley laugh

    I totally ruddy forgot!!! We got back from the xmas market and we sat down with a cuppa and i saw the pressies under the tree and got overly excited! Mum and H thought I was bonkers. Neither could under stand why I HAD to open them today but i ripped them open!!!

    Both me and Baby Bass have been very, very lucky!

    Here is my before:


    Here is Baby Bass' pressie, a super cute Pengie outfit!!!!! How cute is this! and a dribble bib!


    And my pressie:

    My fave toiletries for some paper time, my fave chocolate and some snugglie slipper socks!


    I feel spoilt rotten! Thank you so much Secret Otter! Im off to look through at what every one else got now! :-)

    Before!

    And after (sorry it's wonky!!)

    I got a lush Cath Kitson mug for the copious amounts of tea I drink, some choccies to share with H (not a chance), a gorgeous reindeer that is now on my tree and a some treats for Loftus and Lola.

    I have been otterly spoilt, thank you so much SO xxx

    My Secret Otter is a genius. Or possibly not.... don't apply for a job with MI5!

    Brilliant presents - thank you so very much.



    On the tree with his little mates!

    I'm so late opening mine!! Had a long journey back from the Christmas party then been rushing around all afternoon! Finally sat down and opened my gift....

    Before (took this the other day)


    And opened...


    I am absolutely speechless. It's far too much but I am so grateful to all of you. I'm honestly overwhelmed. H came running down because I was crying and he was worried why!

    I really don't know what to say, just thank you so, so much, you lovely bunch!

    I love you all xx

    I nearly forgot as we were out shopping!! Most exciting.

    The wrapping on my present was amazing!!! All silver and sparkly! A very pretty box tied up with a ribbon and then individually wrapped presents inside. A lot of effort here from my SS!! I ALSO HAVE THE BEST PRESENT EVER!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Fluffy socks - Not one but 2 pairs in really cute colours and they have the none slip bit underneath. Perfect with our new laminate flooring.

    A totally gorgeous Barry M nail varnish. The prettiest pink confetti polish. Cant wait to try it out

    A lindt bear who I really don't think will survive the night I am afraid. He will lose his head shortly at least.

    A bath bomb!!! I am taking a lot of baths at the moment to sort out my on going back ache so this is perfect. How did my Secret Otter know?!?!?!?!? The clever clogs! ❤️

    I am really chuffed and feeling all xmassy and festive now.. Big love to whoever carefully shopped, wrapped and sent it. I hope they reveal if we do a reveal thread as I would love to thank them xxxxxx

    Thank you so much to my Secret Otter! I love the wrapping paper, very cute.

    I have a wonderful bar of Galaxy chocolate that will probably not last the night and some green tea with papaya, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries and rose petals. It smells absolutley incredible and I can't wait to make a pot of it Smiley laugh

    Thank you again, whoever you are, I feel like one very lucky otter Smiley laugh

    Well here is my gift wrapped up


    And then a flash of the contents, which I love. I adore white chocolate but have so far resisted temptation and am keeping them for after my dinner, I may even let OH have one. But the best bit, the cross stitch kit, winnie the pooh is my most favourite disney character and I do lots of cross stitch so I cant wait to get started on it (but have to finish the birth sampler for my sister, baby is due in Jan, whoops). Thank you SOOO much Secret Santa, I am a hugely grateful otter.

    I love my secret otter Smiley smile, they made me an official otter with a pin and everything! And Wispa got mince pies! And I got a mug from my absolute favorite line of tableware, pip studio (I've made a wishlist for Christmas and it's ALL pips studio!), and I got chocolate too ?. I'm now realising that I didn't get enough for mine :/




    (I don't know why they were upside down)

    Thank you SO. Hello Kitty goodness, right here!! I got a HK advent calendar, and a colouring pad.

    My 10 yr old asked if they were presents for his 2 yr old cousin ?




    I have lost them, to the kids, so thank you from them too ?

    ETA, I promise I didn't try opening it before today, that is how my parcel was delivered to me. (top pic)

    Thank you Secret Otter (actually I know who you are!)

    I got a beautiful pearl cluster necklace! Very very chuffed, I am back to work soon and able to wear pretty necklaces without A trying to eat them so it's timed just right!

    I apologise for the lack of pictures, I took them on my phone and have no idea how to get them on here.

    I've just opened my secret otter gift and what a lucky otter I am!

    My secret otter must know me well as I got the most gorgeous cookbook and book about Ibizan food from the guy that ran the restaurant in manumission. It's awesome.

    Some of the recipes look lovely and I can't wait to try them out, plus it's filled with loads of comments from djs etc at the back. I love it, thank you secret otter!

    I will add some more photos in a bit but I have some clues to who my secret otter is! There was a Christmas card of the London skyscape so I'm guessing it's s London otter.

    Yay I finally opened my secret otter present, it's a lovely thoughtful gift of bath bags of herbs, and I am SO going to rock christmas with my cocktail skills from the cocktail book!

    Well it will be boxing day as that's when we have a big buffet and drinkfest with the neighbours.

    Thank you very very much Secret Santa / Otter not least because you offered to let me join in at the last minute and I know you already had another Secret Otter to get for (and I think I can guess who from the other posts in here haha!) She had suggested a charity donation would suffice in return for her gift to me which was a lovely thought.

    Here's a flash of my pressies and also a flash of some cuddly doggies, one of which I donated to the local kids toy appeal on behalf of my secret otter (the other was donated by me obviously)

    I can't get my laptop to cooperate with my camera, but than you secret otter I love it all. My parcel had a reindeer wooden tag which is now hanging on my tree, a purple mug (my favourite colour) which says 'keep calm and carry on bowling' and a bath bomb. Whoever you are you've done very well from my very unhelpful questionnaire. I'll persevere with my camera to get some photies up but thank you very much x
