I got some Mickey Mouse wall stickers from one friend. They're on an A4 size bit of paper & there's two of them?! Hardly something I'm going to put on my wall as I'm quite old and married, but I do love MM! Oh well.0

I wouldn't say I have had any really awful presents but mabe some innapropriate ones. When I was pregnant, that Christmas I received alot of alcohol gifts. To be fair they didn't know at the time I was pregnant but they had a 'feeling' I might have been lol.
I usually get awful gifts from the same person every year though. I appreciate the gift is bought as a nice gesture and they clearly don't know much about me with their gift choices but never-the-less it's the thought that counts and I appreciate the thought.
Last year I was asked what I wanted, and said anything except chocolate, and everyone bought me chocolate! Why ask? It did last near enough the whole of the next year thoughComping wishlist for 2017
