    Talking Unwanted Xmas Presents

    OK ... time to confess ... you must have had SOME Xmas presents that you really dont want ....... want to share?

    (Just make sure the present giver is not on the forum )

    Sorry .... can't oblidge .... I still believe in the Chritian meaning of Xmas and that all the pressie giving is of no relevance .... except for kiddies where I believe its a great idea. Long story short, ny family stopped buying useles pressies for each other a long time ago ... we dont need a present from each otehr to know how much we love each other .... and the same goes for most of my mates.

    So ... I did get a few pressies but they were all small but 'perfectly formed'.

    Having said that ... up to a few years ago my Mum STILL insisted on buying me shirts that I would NEVER wear

    Hey ... I was bored and uninspired ... thought someone else might have found it amusing ....

    .... OK ... will crawl back under rock again

    Come to think of it, considering some of the heated debates recently maybe there is a dnager of starting a "Chritsmas should be only for Chritian believers" and see if we can start a reglious flamewar to match the gay flamewar elsewhere

    either did I ........ even the slippers and the dressing gown were badly needed. I'll be asking for more socks soon

    but lots of really nice presents this year...and too many actually including a mini skeleton ( or is that skelington Fran) which is great

    I received an item that resembles (visually) a set of weighing scales, it has wheels on the bottom and a light with a foot operated on/off switch.

    It is infact, a mobile plant uplighter.

    It is the tackiest thing I've ever seen.

    Anyone want it? Let me know....

    That's a belter Pammy! Someone obviously thinks you are the "girl who has everything! so got you something totally different!

    My ex partner bought me a DVD player (just what I wanted) a ber of chocolate (always what I want) and the new Epilator that kinda "sands" your legs! Do you think he is trying to tell me something?

    If he's an *ex* partner, he can tell you what he likes, but whether you *listen* is up to you
