“every year my great aunt gave me a bottle of 4711”
My kids have got me a bottle of this for Christmas, I quite like it though

One year a neighbour gave us a bottle of decent wine which I recognised as being the self-same bottle I’d given him the previous year.

Many, many moons ago, when the kids were but toddlers, my dear mother, unbeknown to me, contacted the Sally Army explaining that we were struggling to get our children presents. I answered the knock on the door, told the guy he must have the wrong house. He insisted he hadn't and passed me a cardboard box containing assorted items. One of which was a rag Golly! I have never felt so depressed as i did then and it is the only time in my life i ever raised my voice to my mother. Since that time, i have always ensured that, whatever my financial situation, i have given them a bit of something at the very least.

I once gave a bad present. I bought "She who must be obeyed" a bag and a belt. She was not happy...…….I tried to explain that the "Hoover" would be as good as new. (^_*)

I was given a roll of "Crossword Loo Paper" - I just used it & Mr Bottom didn't have a clue it was any different...

Hello eleena.

Mrs B is coming out of it (acute bronchitis), just very tired.

Acute and extremely contagious... Hence, I got it too! Awful. Being ill is never pleasant, but being ill and OLD is worse.

We will survive, and thank you very much for asking after Mrs B.

My worst Xmas pressy was a plastic apron. I wouldn't mind but it did not last 2 wears before splitting and ripping.

I remember getting a nurses outfit when I was about 9 ( a long time ago!!) It was too small and I was so jealous of my brothers cowboy outfit and boxing gloves. the fact that I can remember all this and my feeling of upset so many years later reflect my distress! Nurses outfits??? I am hypodermic phobic!!!
