Default Unwanted / useless pressies

Merry Christmas

Just come on line for sanity - 4 kids have been going wild for hours now!

What about the strangest pressies then? Ours included:

Tee shirts that don't fit.
Thick jean jackets.
Wire necklasses for my 3 year old daughter.

Bah humbug..........!!!!!!

Have a great day - we are off to the Wynnum wading pool in a few hours - should beat being in the cold in the UK.

Well, all my prezzies have been fab, but Sprog (1 year old little monster) isn't playing with any of his, instead, he's chucking satsumas around the lounge and generally getting up to no good!

well, mine isn't quite a useless present, but its one I would hesitate before using ..... you know those packs of envelopes and writing paper, that sit in windows for ages and go yellow from the sun.........I was given one, told it was gold paper and really lovely, I know it came from a charity shop, fair enough, but then i realised its not gold....its faded yellow!

We were given matching Coogee jumpers the other year. They resembled a good vomit pattern. The good thing about emigrating is things get lost in the packing (or they go to a charity shop).

Default big knickers

yes i did ask for them but the future "mother in laws" idea of big knickers is completly different to mine, I got M&S full briefs which im sure will keep the chill out from my neck region.
