I got a really crappy cookbook from my ex - how can you learn to cook from a book with no pictures?!

Some may say a hand blender would be a crappy present but I loved it when my hubby bought one for me last year! I did have a wobbly moment when I opened it as I thought, judging by the size and shape of the box, that it was a pair of boots! :rotfl:

As a 13 year old - a size 16 neon pink and black houndstooth collarless bum length coat. Identical to the one my mother bought for herself, slightly longer than the following picture, but the general cut is about right. And I was about size 10 at the time.






As an adult - a size 28 white towelling dressing gown from M&S from my then OH. I was 12 weeks pregnant and about a size 14.

An electric knife - my OH was lucky not to be castrated with it!
and two years ago he bought me really cheap tacky fake pearl necklace (in fact I posted a thread about it), which I wore xmas day put back in the box and forgot about.
last xmas he bought me another one! even cheaper and tackier! I couldnt even thank him - I hate fake pearls!
Its not as if I dont tell him what I want! I do - but he just doesnt listen!

*max*

I can't even think of any...either I have very thoughtful friends/family or I'm suffering from awful gift-induced PTSD and just can't remember! I'm sure there have been some...

Ha! Just thought of one! My neighbour/friend got me a second-hand driving test dvd last year. I got my driving licence in 2003.

I remember your thread.

I don't get awful pressies off Hubby, but I don't like electronics or gadgets particularly and he does. Strange how I got a Blu-Ray player and a sat nav one time.

having no xmas present at all on xmas day from my oh (not even a cheap box of chocs!) and him not making any comment/apology at all- after I cracked and burst into tears around 11am he told me he'd not thought it was important and that he'd been planning on getting me something in the sales.

same man bought me a dishwasher for my birthday one year.

another 2 good reasons to be glad he is now my ex!
