First christmas I had had being single...  I had split up with the boyfriend a couple of weeks before...    back at home....    feeling all unloved....  I was about 20.

I got... 

a power shower off my parents, followed by a shower curtain off my brother, the shower rail off my nana and the shower curtain hooks off the dog! 

I was young....  I had not perfected the "look grateful when you're gutted" face...   that xmas day ended with my mum in tears, & me stomping out the house, into my car off to pick up my flatmate who had been at her parents for the day.

Got to her parents house... beeped my horn and out she stomped..  slamming the door... face like thunder carrying a casserole dish!

Oh crikey Ditty! Its good that you can both see the funny side now though   Or can your flatmate?
Well I cracked up as she was coming out of the house that night....  we were both laughing til our sides hurt til we got back to our flat.

We then laughed about it for the rest of the night!

I don't mention it to my mother though...   I am not sure she sees the funny side of it yet

 Hopefully you can all laugh now.

omg.... right now.... as I am in this thread.... Mr Ditty has just got the sock basket out and started to pair up socks.   This is cos I moaned at him earlier, about how in the space of 4 days he has managed to un-pair most of the families socks & lose one of the pair.   (I had an op on Monday... so he has been doing household jobs for me)... 

as he is sorting through trying to find the pairs...  he comes to a couple of pairs of moderately expensive walking socks (the type you get from millets)... and says, to himself... or the room.... or the dog (who knows)...   "These are Katies (me)... I got her these for xmas last year.... I don't know why I got them for her last year,...  I like to get her some socks every year"

I am sitting here biting my lip like a good un!

TBH .............sometimes we don't help ourselves. I really don't know what I want this year ............my daughter asked me earlier and I told her .....................a kitchen blow torch thingy for creme brulees.
Not me!

I have a spreadsheet full of stuff I want...   I have it on the go all year round.   I even have hyperlinks to the web page where it can be bought!

i still speak to her..........she's bought me loads of crap over the years.....but that's the stand out present!!........my second favourite gift from her was some christmas decorations...a miniature snowman,reindeer and father christmas...in a box..and on the back (which she forgot to take off!) was a raffle ticket number!!
I know she's your hubby's mam, but hey....everyone doesn't get along and that just proves it  that's gotta be another hug situation

tis ok Saz...    I bought myself this years xmas pressie... and have given them to myself already!

(my boots)



they had been at the top of the spreadsheet...  but I knew after sending MrDitty the "tell a friend about these" link on the webpage where they were for sale.... and the following night hearing him say "why have you sent me a link for a pair of Classic Tall Uggs in Black"  followed by "HOW MUCH?" That it was pointless hoping for him to get me them!
