You'll know if the vouchers are a bad present if you get them back for your birthday!!!:rotfl:
Why are you lot complaining about the presents you have received? Does it matter? It's exactly that kind of attitude that is making Burlesque Babe worry that these vouchers aren't good enough!0 -
lol was they even jacobs or tesco own brand?
No, I think they were a pound shop special. We dont call her the pound shop queen for nowt :rotfl:Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

I'm not complaining. The birds loved em.
I'm merely pointing out to my good friend BB, what lack of thought actually is.Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Ok so it's not the most amazing present... you can actually use them (barring wheat or gluten intolerance/out of date etc).
Yes it shows lack of imagination/money but "its the thought that counts"
Maybe they were planning on cheese the next year?!0 -
