lol what a div

Pirate, give over will ya   

You didn't pee me off, I know that 

ta

I love everything I got. I could really tell how much thought my kids put in and my husband is always guided to buy the right thing every year anyway 

I got some lovely things from the rest of my family too.

You did nothing wrong pirate 

Me too suzy ... I ordered ( and paid for!) my present from hubby, so,if I didn't like it I only have myself to blame!!

In truth, I do wonder whatever possessed my son to buy me that particular ipad case, but hey ho ... it will be a talking point!

Oh what's wrong with it Rexi? Is it vulgar or obscene? If it is, I'll have it 

Well, it's black leather. Zipped top, so a bit like an ipad shaped purse. But ... the bottom half of it, front and back is fur!!

FUR!!!

I do wonder what my children think of me sometimes!!

I know why he bought it me though. He spent a year in China and when he came back he bought me the blingiest iphone cover. It was a silver peacock with loads of fake jewels on it. I absolutely love it. He obviously thought that mother loves tacky!!

well I feel like returning all Astons's prezzies all he as done is play with sprouts make good marbles

I don't really understand why changing a gift is equating to ungrateful.

You can wholeheartedly appreciate the generosity and sentiment that the gift giver has shown,and still not have any use/liking for the actual gift,as some one said before it really is the thought that counts.Exchanging the gift doesn't automatically invalidate the thought, the thought lives on regardless of what you do with the gift.

it's not if the gift is given and a receipt is offered to exchange if it isn't right. . Moaning about gifts is ungrateful..

Well, you should have listened to Aimes ... she told us to put them on way before Christmas!

I got a food parcel, from my Old Man, sent over to me in "war torn Korea". And by food parcel I mean a few big bars of Galaxy Chocolate and Salt n Vinegar Square crisps.

I used to send food parcels to my son, he wanted bbq hula hoops and those pink wafer biscuits

Pink wafer biscuits I love  you carefully take each layer off and one by one 

same as caramel wafers ,I love them ...bourbons you separate them eat one side and save the creme and the last bit...don't start me with jammy dodgers 

Hula hoops one on each finger yummy and strawberry shoelaces and dew drops 

sorry got carried away oh forgot curly wurlies I have them and caramac 

and no I would not exchange a thing I recieved ....but always leave the receipt for someone If Its clothing ..

@ Frodo

Ashton wouldn't let me rolling them down the stairs was kinda  fun...hope you had a good Christmas rexi

Olly I'm sh*te at Quoting ...but I truly understand where you are coming from

Christmas gifts are to be treasured no matter how small ...but I had pajamas

bought for me.. to flatter me they were wheyhay too tiny still have them and the slippers that fit one toe ,,,and I have lost loads of weight they are still in the drawer ...of course I will donate ,but could have done with those myself 

I think most of this Is tongue in cheek ...hey you are welcome at mine anytime 

take care Olly 

 love these jammies

Glad to hear you won't be starving over the festive period Rawky,

I'm with Olly.

Wouldn't want to see a receipt - just wrong.

Hello Velvet

the receipt was meant for a larger size thats all ...

happy new years eve all ,afraid I had a little too much of the Martini so I'm nursing a sore head this morning  

I wouldn't ask for a receipt... but I've got a jumper that doesn't fit and I know where it came from, so I may try to have it changed.  While I'm at it I may choose a different style.    then again, i may just give it away cos I can't really be arsed going to the shops..

Hy Kaffy 

have I opened a can of worms ?  didn't mean too .the jammies are still sat there ,

and I always buy larger ones for comfort ..that's all I'm saying ...never taken a thing back ever and the slippers too had them for yonks ...wish I had never mentioned the  bliddy things 

New Years Eve and I don't think any thing could dampen my spirits ...like to think I will make friends not alienate people ...cos I love this site x

and IF It did offend sorry ...a New Year and I would like to think ...all opinions are welcome ...so boring If we all agreed ,but nice to know Its not Malicious 

I'm crap at some things on here and fairly new so If I quote or post wrong tell me ...or explain I cannot multi Quote and it amazes me how you do It 

sees you 

Frodo, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone's entitled to an opinion. If a can of worms has been opened I reckon it was already opened long before you posted on the thread.

Nah Frodo...   just chipping in with my tuppence worth to the thread.  I don't think it's particularly ungrateful to change a present, although unless it's someone really close that I know won't be offended (my sis always says - 'if you don't like it tell me, I'd rather change it so you have something you like')   I'd do it without letting the giver know - most shops change things without a receipt after Christmas, you just risk not getting the full value if it's in the sale now.  That said, I hardly ever get anything I don't like, but have changed stuff to get the right size before now.

Hello kaffy 

 I think we got on the wrong foot ...me trying to be clever thats all x

Frodo, as fluffs said....the can had been opened wayyy before you posted

And it's not ungrateful at all to want to get bigger size PJ's, they're something you'll get loads of use from (if you're like me and like to wear them all day ) and I also like to go up a size so would rather change them to something that would fit.

I'll wish you a Happy New Year Frod  

Hope 2014's good to you   

I've just tried to return a half eaten box of Quality Street.

Didn't it work then?
