Heh...I'm the other way round. I don't really like my tap water but love bottled water like Evian. It just seems to have a taste to it. Maybe our tap waters taste different :/ My block though has a private stash of water which is pretty good but I dunno if the "normal" tap water tastes the same.

Maybe that's because you were brought up at a different time. It might of been that in your time 2 or 3 presents were considered enough. And the amount that's considered "acceptable" as risen over the years.

That's true. The worst thing is when a kid gets a toy, they get all happy, play with it for an hour and then put it to one side and never play with it again. Now that's a waste of money.

I wish I could drink the tap water here, it would save me a fortune and a lot of time. When I have to drink tap water I have to boil it first and then leave it sitting in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Tap. I dislike bottled water. I tend to get a glass, fill it up, and gulp it down. Refill, repeat until I can't take anymore. My maxmium is about 6 glasses. Not a very healthy way, but it gets the fluid in and doesn't take that long.

Thats more than enough.
Its ridiculous what kids get these days, especially because most toys and games are a passing fad thatll be gathering dust in a matter of months.

I drink alot of fizzy drinks like Coke. What I drink the most is Volvic Touch of Fruit water. Since that is like 93% pure water is it better than the rest of the drinks?
And thanks RoJ for reminding me about the water. Btw do you drink tap water or bottled water?

I see further down the page you were talking about drinking water - I never used to but recently I've been drinking it like a champ. It gets more tolerable as you go along, at first I gagged after 2 or 3 glasses in a row but now I drink about 5 glasses in a minute or two, and I'm not in that much agony.
Don't drink much milk though, although I used to.

Well my birthday was on the 13th...and I got a coat, new trainers, a tracksuit and £50. That was pretty much all I needed, sure I can get games and any other thing I can think up but I don't since I doubt I'll have time to play them all. For christmas I didn't really ask for anything but I still got £200...all I got from my parents was the coat. I'm cool with that as they're not in a very good financial state right now and I still got everything I wanted ^_^
But yeah, I think alot of kids don't realise what their parents go through just so they can have a nice christmas. It gets better with age though and I'm considered to be quite mature (or so people say :P) so I understand it pretty well and don't get upset. But alot of people in my school my age still get loads of presents and I know some of their parents aren't exactly "well off"
