[friedgreentomato]

Oh and some second hand smellies for the local charity shop half the bubble bath was missing!!!!

[pastafreak]

What is it with MIL's...??

I hope I'm never like that.

[friedgreentomato]

lol pasta - my mil 'forgot' my 40th birthday but remebered my sil 40th a month later!!

[pastafreak]

*nice*....not!

[Bluestone]

Lol @ Pasta and the lacy knickers from the MIL. Weird!!

I have to say, i'm not fussy, and I genuinely would never look at a present someone had given me and think it could be a competitor for the "worst gift" ever received. I am always thankful, no matter how useless it may be! :)

I did once receive a Dyson, though.... and an iron. Think he forgot the ball and chain!!

[gness]

A Henry vacuum cleaner. We were hard up and needed one but...???????
He never did anything like that again and, though it was many,many years ago, I was still mentioning it at his funeral.

[China Doll]

I don't really look at it like that, I'm also pretty happy just to have a present, I'm generally easy to please.

a silver duck moneybox with a jewelled tiara....

an ex of my dads bought me a bath set. she knew very well i live in a house with just a shower. it was one of the buy 2 get one free offers in superdrug. i just whised i hadn't spent time on getting her a nice pressie that she actually would use

[aelmpvw]

my mother will tell you it was a box of chocolates I bought for her when I was a child .. which I scoffed on the bus going home

[Georgiesmum]

When i worked in a supermarket about 20 years ago, my supervsor was given a ladies body spray by her then boyfriend who married her a couple of months later. It wasnt even a good make, and would have only have cost around £1 at the time. He didnt buy her anything else at all!!!

I know someone who bought his wife an ironing board cover.

[Prudie]

A fake fur hood with a bobble of fur on the end of cord either side from my mother when I was about 13. I detested it.

[tonyav]

[naomi24]

He is - but I get the impression he's reminded regularly. :o)

[tonyav]

He got of light I think, naomi.
