    Is it for a present?

    I purchased a lovely decanter with matching glasses from Debenhams, popped it in a basket with a posh bottle of red wine, a silver picture frame, a LOVE sign and a few plastic flowers for a wedding present (it looked rather good).

    yes a present. He wants cooled wine without getting it diluted with ice cubes - yes they have the bog standard decanter and they use it, strange but true :) Yes they have a fridge but a defective one :) and you cant get your decanter in the fridge.
    They saw one of these decanters with ice holders at someones house but GF managed to convince him that it was unnecessary. Her idea was to keep the idea up her sleeve for future gift ideas but then she got a desperate message from me this afternoon ...:rotfl:

    Its poetic justice really because eldest son pinched 2 of my ideas :)

    Also both of them are sending their parcels here as I am home this week - neither of them realise the other is doing this :)
    Eldest son wants the huge parcel he ordered gift wrapping.
    GFs parcel is even bigger so Ive got to somehow cover this decoratively in black bin bags.
    These are my random acts of kindness for this week:rotfl:

    Someone kindly reported Lindor Coconut as a trigger in 3 for £10 the other day. It appears on MSM but when you scan it on MSM the product comes up as 2 x200g from Amazon and not recognised on A app. I assume it may still trigger if required.

    Am I being thick. But what about a wine bucket? You can get some lovely ones.. and the wine does not get diluted.

    I hope you don't get the presents mixed up.... that could end up a little messy x

    I had sent DS1 £100 with the direction of paying for a meal and him getting his girlfriend a Christmas present from us when she visited. He thought it was a good idea, then I received a message stating that there was nothing really to buy where they were and the meal was £5 (as they were in Cambodia).

    No sign of the £95 being returned... but I have now received a message with her address on asking that I sent her a present. I had thought of send an English Xmas hamper, but fleecy pj's, hat etc are a bit wasted in Singapore!....

    I am also fuming with DS2's girlfriend. She came to ours for the weekend. Did not say hello when she arrived or goodbye when she left. She only came out of his room when she needed feeding. I did have polite words with DS2 when she had left. I have bought her some lovely presents, but don't feel like giving her them (I also have a few nice ones for reindeer girl... :p)

    That god non of the others have other halves...... I could not deal with the stress.
