    washing machine works well. did a wash last night... smelt lovely & didnt have to spin 100 times before it was dry enough to put on the drier. all in all a good day.

    yesterday wasnt a NSD as i bought a new socket for the kitchen and that came out of my bank. so £87 left til thursday & £10 in my purse for petrol today. this could be all ok :)

    Morning hun,

    No its not bad, I have done that many times, mostly when people buy me bubble baths and soaps etc. I am not overly bothered by those so always re-gift them. the secret is, remembering who gave them too you :o:p.

    I have two separate groups of friends and on birthdays we often meet up and open the presents together. So I have to make sure that any gifts I don't want, get given to the other group of friends, otherwsie someone might spot that it was a gift they gave to me...eeeeek.

    Hope you have a good day planned today, we are on the homeward stretch before Christmas. Nearly there. xxx
  • haha i will make sure i give to some oen out of work.

    they have nuts in a lot of them and i dont like nuts so seems pointless opening them to eat 2 of them

  • Eeeew nuts....Guess you just have to make sure you gift them early in the year as choccies don't last too long without starting to go a weird white colour. ;)
  • very true..dont know anyone with a bday in jan OR feb! i might have to share them with hubs haha

  • Hi LL,

    Well done you for closing the tab :)

    I don't think it's a bad thing to regift something, I often do it or sell it if I can't think of anyone suitable lol

    Happy new kitchen BTW. Love the tiling :D

    Well done for resisting - I actually get just about the same satisfaction as actually buying it!:T
