  • Who buys JimJams in their normal size..most people go for 2 or 3 sizes bigger they are meant to be comfy

    They would have been nice if the trousers stayed up :rotfl: It was a nice thought though

    My sister has bought me a wine gift set. Which is great (and a very nice thought) but i hate rose wine.

    But i won't say anything :A

    I've been Money Tipped!
    this year has been really good, some books I really wanted, some books I didn't know I wanted till I got them, and bits and bobs for the bathroom.

    the ones that stick in my mind atm (besides lots of bottles of scent that I hated) are the blue shoes which I despised, wore out of agratitude, it rained and my feet were stained bright blue for about a month despite twice daily scrubbing.

    I think this is a scarf, but I've not studied it too closely, cos it gives me the creeps :D

    Could be the same skinned ewok as mine, they will be an endangered species at this rate!

    Mine is a series of fluffy balls with weird hard bits in the middle of each one. Oooh that sounds rude! :D

    it is not a christmas gift but it is the worse present ever... My Oh's aunty went to India with her whole family, when they came back she told me very excited that she didnt forgot about me and got me something.... then she came back with that cheap pouch you get when you flight a long distance, inside there was the sleep mask thingy and the very cheap tootbrush, worse bit was that as i never been to India she thought i was going to love her present ? Ein ?? i have done 14 hs flights before, so i have few of those, mainly for my 4 yo. Until this day, everytime she comes and she brings me something, it is really dissapointed ie: a second hand smelly one size bigger than me blazer as a anniversary present, £0.50 earrings, socks that i would never wear in my whole life... I think everytime i go away i should get her something like the things she gets me, problem is, she actually does not mean it, she has got a weird sense of fashion, and she is a really kind and sweet lady... ohh welll

    My Wife's brother (late 40's) bought her (us) a cannabis oil plant thing, no doubt from a fair/festival. Only issue she works for the Police :rotfl: And it was not a jokey present.
