I've had one of those from NEXT - I loved it, like sitting in a bath of melted chocolate - yum !!

Remember when I was a kid and had step brother/sisters and stepmother. We didnt get on (Dad ended up gettning divorced - good riddance).

One year the step kids spend £100s on their mother but bought my Dad (their step father) a bag of disposable bic razors - between 4 of them. Probably 50p each contributed.

I am a vegan. Last year received (from someone who knew I'm vegan) a 'Meat Feast' recipe book! They also gave me (I am a girl) a bottle of men's aftershave! Not only am I a femme girl, who doesn't want to wear aftershave, I am also a lesbian! No boyfriend to palm that off to.

A packet of bath salts which had lost their colour and smell, the box was all bashed and dog eared so obviously a many recycled present, and it was from from my step daughter who always goes on about it being the thought that counts.......Really??

When I was teaching, a child gave me a Ptarmigan foot broach.A ptarmigan is a Scottish Bird with fluffy white feet. It was hideous and it went in the bin in thestaffroom; I couldn’t bear to take it home. She said “Someone gave it to my Mum but neither she or Gran liked it soI thought I’d give it to you”!

My mum often used to ask me for jumble sale donations as she knew I liked to declutter regularly. One lot of donations I made included an unopened cellophane bag filled with pot pourri.

It came back to me a few weeks later on Christmas morning, beautifully wrapped, as my gift from her. :rotfl:

She must have forgotten - did you ever tell her? :rotfl:

Why do employers insist on giving you alcohol? I only drink the odd glass of wine and my OH only drinks beer. I have about 4 bottles of wine which is not to my taste in the cupboard - one from last summer. I'd rather have the money. If it was food I didn't like I could give it to the food bank
Perhaps I should drink the lot and turn up drunk for work!
