Christmas Presents

What do you not want to receive ? Socks ? A few years ago, just before my birthday, I told my wife that I would hate it if friends brought me garden gnomes as a gift - at the 'party' I got 23 of them !


I saw the funny side - even threatened to disown the friends who hadn't bought me a gnome. That night I put them in my front garden - in the morning half of them had been ' taken '

 

Wow. You should send that story to Reader's Digest mate.

 

It's good to see that you can be so incredibly funny ( not ) early in the day . I think that even you could see that I was taking the p1ss out of myself - I didn't your help - thankyou.

 

And thank you too.

 

I hate gift vouchers. It just shows a lack of imagination and they are always for shops I don't shop in.

 

probably the ****test thing ive ever received is a potatoe peeler

 

My mum bought me a bread maker when I was 19. She thought it was a good idea since I like bread.

 

This wasnt just any peeler. It was a "magic peeler" and had lil grooves on the side to make chips with. Still crap though

 

I tell my ma NEVER to buy me clothes. She usually does and I usually take them back.

I do love getting an envelope of notes. Best present.

 

*makes christmas list*

1 x potato peeler

 

i thought you said you'd cook? That didnt last long

 

but i hate peeling potatoes!

 

Thought that was the beginning of a Marks and Spencer advert there jordan.

 

Absolutely. When you open the parcel and start to see Blue Harbour or Maine tags, you know that you just been bought a one-way ticket to middle aged blandness.

After a bit of faux surprise/ gratitude and a bit of 'oh, it's lovely', Boxing Day has its first entry on the 'to do list.'

 

what sort of stuff do you like to wear?

 

I always buy my sons clothes at Christmas - they love it.


Themed posing pouches are the way to go.

One suspects that Cossy might like a Kermit the Frog one to keep his winklewongle nice and warm in those brutal Northern climes.

 

Animal, Saltrock, North Face, Gul, a bit of Superdry, occasional Fat Face and a few others.

Anything that looks good - but M&S and Debenhams don't do it for me <dryboak>

 

Awwwwww, what a sweet little wallaby.

 

Thanks sweetie
