So, it's nearly Christmas but it came early yesterday!!!! A package I'd ordered from Amazon for my grandson, another I picked up from Lakeland to replace the gift for Nick that I returned last week etc etc.
BUT there was also a package for MEEEEE. All the way from America too. Thanks, EttaJ - that'll keep an OG inspired for ages. Just having a few problems with Nick, though. I gave him a Mary Jane sweet (they're yummmmyyyyy) and he's now convinced they also say 'Nick' on them.
Before I finish. I must tell you the story of Nick's returned present. I bought it last Saturday and smuggled it into the house. He came out of the kitchen with a big grin on his face to show me what had just arrived from Amazon - it was the same as I'd just bought him.
I took it back to the shop and asked the girl if I could have a refund as my partner had bought himself one off Amazon. Of course, she said. What is it? I produced the sink plunger out of my bag but she was lost after that in a fit of giggles. You can tell I think a lot of the guy - it's not everybody who buys somebody they love a sink plunger!!!
Maybe you need to adopt the rule we insist on when it's coming up to Christmas: no-one is allowed to by anything for themselves during the weeks leading up to it! Then the sink plunger could have been a surprise under the tree, and I am saying nothing at all about that.
ReplyDeleteSorry Jane I am in a fit of giggles, it's a useful present, mine does not want anything, so unless I can think of something that's what he will get nothing. He's over the moon today his new shed was delivered and installed, men and sheds I don't get it, pity it's not big enough for him to have a seat and play out there.

Ha, Margaret. My dad 'lived' in a shed for 97 years!!! They ought to be made to sleep in them too!!!!
ReplyDeletethat is an awesome present, all those buttons and other findings. I can see you having oh so much fun.
ReplyDeleteA package like that would keep me occupied, too!
ReplyDeleteI was laughing, too, at Nick's gift. At least you know how to keep him happy!
We did laugh. Last year I gave my daughter a food mixer, only to be told that she had just bought herself one. Not a lot more romantic than a sink plunger!
ReplyDelete: )) Thanks for the giggle!
