you'll get a slapped **** young lady.

 

 

Cheap pen which is no good for work as not smart enough

Socks with silly patterns

Plain blue tie YUC

Shirt which is no good as no top pocket on it for pen at work and can see through it as its thin and cheap

Recharable toothbrush which was wrong one for me

Dodgy chocs from Aldi
And my iPhone 4s won't arrive to early January
Roll on Xmas 2012

 

 

Duplicate game, which i only bought on the 29th, despite asking has anyone bought this from the list i issued... only to be given it today lol

A fleece, nice but not my type,


Mart

 

This year I had none....and TBH I really could do with more socks.

Also deoderant gift packs. I usually have a few sets, none this year.

 

From the list you issued .. you sound fun ..

 

I did quite well, my MIL got me one of these bad boys bless her!




Going down for breakfast will never be the same!

 

 

LOL @ DYK's kitty. I got reasonable gifts this year TBH. But some people, who I don't have this gift exchange realationship with, obliged me with some dust collectors. I got LUSH soap in bubblegum flavour :sick:, a box set of cards with the farm animals photos on them (blank inside for my own message for people e.g. you are a PIG, you are a COW, you are a SHEEP, or you are TWO FIGHTING ROOSTERS etc.), a box of Thorntons (I'm not into sweets) and a set of lipglosses (I don't wear lipgloss). All of these are useless to me. Anyway, my family members have chomped some Thorntons, so they should get consumed, I hope. Rest are going to a charity raffle soon. I bet the gifters won these things in some charity raffle at first place; just to pass them on to me.

 

Due to my liking of a certain Scottish team I got this in the secret Santa at work

 

I bought my dad the box set of Only Fools And Horses, got him the one with the specials as well as the episodes, I was very pleased with myself when he was opening it, knowing he's a big big fan, all was well until he told me he no longer has a DVD player

 

for the forst time ever at chrostmas i only got 1 ****ty present i wanted to throw away, that was a jar full of disgusting dark chocolate hazel nut truffles. I did get one of these though which was about the coolest present in history.

Hmm I may have to add my 'Powermonkey Explorer' to the list.

I initially thought 'great' that'll solve my problem that I have with 99% of modern phones and their crappy battery lives and the fact I'm always fighting to find a convienient mains socket to charge it....however....

Problem with it is the solar panel doesn't appear to work through windows....seems my house (and car) have UV filters in the glass, which stops it from working, so I'll still need to plug it in to the mains to charge it up...I may as well just plug the phone into the mains charger!

 

Doesn't really bear thinking too deeply about that does it?

just leave it on your car roof

 

That is cool

Oops OT

 

As I kid I had one of the originals....hand wind snoopy watch. Like all mechnical/automatic watches - it didn't take kindly to the abuses of daily wear on the wrist of a child. I didn't realise it was a 1960's watch

Was like this with a blue strap:

That's worth more than the average used modern Swiss Automatic 'fashion watch'

Got a couple of shower gel type gift sets but that's ok as I leae it all in my locker at work for when I cycle in

 

I got one of those red letter day paintballing experiences 100 free paintballs which on the face of it sounds good if you've never been . 100 paintballs lasts about 15 minutes and you their 4 hours . Last time I went I spent £70 on paint and it wasn't even dulux.

Needless to say I wont be redeeming it anytime soon.

 

Always think that when I see these stands ying to sell paintball experiences they give you next to no paint *****

 

Cheers but it's no longer a problem

 

Mine is an original and was mine as a child, my mother and sister found it for me put on a new strap and gave it back to me as a present, still works perfectly, its a timex movement and by all accounts more reliable than my rolex. i love the fact that my 33 year old watch has never seen a repair shop and still works.

 

I don't know what happened to mine, I do remember it stopped keeping time, mum saying it was broke and that was the last I saw of it (I had a Casio to replace it). I wonder if it went in a box somewhere or if she chucked it, I'll have to ask her now LOL.

 

Funny you should say that, I was in my jewelry box yesterday putting a decent crimbo present safe and I found Mr. P's watch from when he was a child, so it's about 27 years old and still works great.
I'm not sure how I ended up with it.

 

Amazing,
