Got a tin of roses for xmas from a voucher i won in a competition...

Just gone to the tin, none left......

This sounds stupid and childish but i am so upset:( and angry:mad:

Didn't get one present on xmas day so i was looking forward to a treat....Can't even have that now!!!

What is wrong with people thinking of others and sharing!!!!!!

I love them but they really !!!! me off at times........

Sorry to rant, and sounding stupid but my life is really crap and things like this only add to it........:(

    I live with family, we Just couldn't afford it, i understood that, even tho i was a little sad, but the roses were for all of us, not just them...

    Yes, i do agree it sounds stupid, over a tin of roses, but i would sooner rant on here as if i start i will open a right tin of worms and won't stop....

    I kind of know how you feel, I have three sons , two of them are teenage & they eat everything in sight & often don't think to share. I am sorry that you did not get anything , is there any way you can do something & treat yourself over the next few days as I think you should do something for you & spoil yourself!xx

    I can understand also, you had the tin of roses in your mind, saving them for later, when you get the chance and you go to them and they are gone, yes it is very :mad: shame you could not have either 'taken your share out' leaving the tin for the rest of them knowing you had got what you wanted or hidden the tin so they had to ask to have some and you all shared them....

    Did they know they belonged to you?

    No, that's my point, they know how things are (illness etc, but that's another story) and only seem to think of themselves....this is what upsets me...
