Lovely win..Well done:j0

This was my story....all 100% true, and apparently she has something 'very special' for me this year. I dread to think!!!MY GRANDMA
No, I didn't receive a grandma for Christmas, it's the presents I've received from her over my life.
Now my grandma is very thrifty and a hoarder. When it come to Christmas we usually have her and my Grandad round for Christmas lunch and every year she brings the notorious 'bag of stuff'. She doesn't go out, buy a gift, wrap it, label it and give it to you. Instead she fills a carrier bag with random stuff from her house, this mainly consists of jumble sale finds, unwanted gifts she's received and tombola/raffle gifts.
She'll pull things out the bag one at a time and will continue to do so until you accept something as a gift. You HAVE to accept something and HAVE to seem pleased otherwise she'll continue to offer you stuff. Last year my 'gift' was a mini bubble bath which had obviously belonged to a gift set at some point in time. Other gifts have included a miniature painting of a horse (covered in dust), a potted plant from her windowsill, a pink dog plush with no back legs and a mini beaded notebook with half the beads missing.
Occasionally she will have a specific gift for you, once I received a second-hand, stained, four sizes too large 'George' T-shirt. Not because she thought it was nice, or she thought it would suit me but because it had 'George' on the label and my name is George!2009 Wins = £833

And the total prize value actually came to £1,834 (I know, bit sad, but I couldn't resist working out what I was waiting for to arrive and tallying it all up while waiting for the final package)!
Hard to make out from the photo, but looks like the little black boxes are worth £1800 and everything else £34?0 -
