Our garden bonfire needs something to get it going - both copies should do it!

My worst present was a 2 litre bottle of beer. Nice bottle, Christmas ale etc.
However those that know me know that I rarely drink beer at home other than the occasional lager in the summer.
So there it sits. Too big to go in the drinks cupboard.

For my husband it has to be the bottle of Scotch that my mother bought him one year - Mike doesn't drink Scotch and neither do I, so after a sip each I think the contents were poured down the kitchen sink.
For me it was the pack of outsize tights my late mother-in-law once bought me - when I was going to Weightwatchers! I think those went in the next charity shop collection bag.

Reminds me of a story I once heard.
A couple of decorators were working for an old lady.
One of them asked if she had any spirits in the house ( meaning white sprits)
She came out with a bottle on Scotch whisky.
"It was my late husband's but I never use whisky", she said.
During the next few days the painters scoffed the Scotch.
"Were those spirits all right?" she enquired
"Oh yes my dear, did the trick"
"Good", said the lady,"My husband used to bathe his feet in them once a week. He said they did wonders for his gout"

. For me it was the pack of outsize tights my late mother-in-law once bought me - when I was going to Weightwatchers! I think those went in the next charity shop collection bag. That reminds me of my 40th birthday present from my mum. The parcel arrived a few days before my birthday so I saved to open on the day, when I did open it I was mortified to fine 'Paul McKenna's How to make you Thin'! It rather took the shine off being 40 and my husband and kids who were all sat around the breakfast table with me were horrified. In fact it took all my effort to stop MrN from phoning her up and giving him a piece of his mind. .......I rather wish I'd let him now, as she still pull stunts like this.  |
