Chatty thread 2 - worst Christmas present?
« on: December 28, 2017, 11:38:17 AM »

What was your worst Christmas present ever???

Mine? A china cat from my mother - it was, and is, awful!! Oh, and a huge plastic cat from someone else! It stands about 18 inches high!

I can't think of anything I have received that I've hated but my worse nightmare present WOULD BE ...... a spa voucher .    It's just not me, I love makeup etc but parading about in a dressing gown and saunas etc aren't me.  Saunas make me feel sick and faint

I have never had a 'treatment' in my life but one of my best presents this year was a membership to a Spa - my idea of heaven is to chill by one of the pools either taking someone with me to chat with or possibly even better, on my own so I can listen to my book  ;D

My worst present - a large box of fancy chocolates.

So far none. 

M in L gave me table spoons one year as we hadn't any - I think DH 'had a word' as she didn't repeat those types of ideas whereas I could see where she was coming from.  Not much money on either side and it was something that we needed  ::)

Thanks Annie
I found out last night my best friend has also got a membership - so I now have a spa sit-and-drink-coffee-by-the-pool buddy. Guess our husbands want some quiet time   :rofl:

Rockhopper - bottles make good raffle prizes  ;).  Then buy yourself something you really, really like - and tell the people VV close to you to get their butts into gear, accept that you don't like the stuff and next time, hand them back!  Maybe that's what they are hoping for ?  ;).  I have got beyond "It's the thought that counts" .......... when it's obvious that not much thought has actually gone into their choices to me  ;D
