John wasn't able to get me a present, but, with a little bit of help from me ordering for him on the internet, I received some lovely dark choccie bars from Hotel Chocolat:

I've had some lovely presents, including some money and voucher, so I'll look forward to having a spending spree.
I received lots of cards and will show them on here, but probably won't get round to doing so for a day or two.
Mum came over to see us this afternoon - it was lovely to spend some time with her.
As we can't go out, we have ordered pizzas to be delivered and a bottle of white wine is chilling in the fridge (that will replace my painkillers for this evening!).
