What is the best or worst

[NoMercy]

present you've ever been given?

My best is my computer. My mum reckons her best was the GHD straightners I gave her some years back as her hair is nearly afro!!! LOL

I once treated my best friend to a day at the spa for Christmas (�279 worth) and she gave me a CD which she got free in a Sunday Supplement!

My best was a car from a 'friend' and my worst was a caserole dish from my ex-mother in law.
I drove the car....

My ex bought me a La Prairie Cellular Radiance Moisturiser for my 29th (500 euros). I wasn't quite sure what he was trying to say........... :-/

My late mum meant well but her presents were usually terrible.
One year as a stocking filler I got some handkies embroidered with the initial F. My name does not begin with F.

BEST :- 4 beautiful children from my lovely wife and being there when they were all born( almost missed one - got to hospital 10 minutes before!) - cried my eyes out, i did !

WORST - "there can only be one"! oh yes - here it is!
just when you thought it was safe to shave and groom up - it's loads of bottles of old spice!! aaaagggghhhhhh!!

When I was young my best friend gave me some fags he had stolen from his Saturday job shop. He is now MD of a publishing company and gives me nothing!

[NoMercy]

Your bother-in-law sounds like a very generous woman, Mrs. O!

Ianfran - What's wrong with Old Spice? Surely that's better than a nasal trimmer? LOL

[ianfran]

not much in it, merce! eh?

[ianfran]

omg - a mate on FB just told me he's pulled a traffic warden ( female of the species, of course! ) - suave g*t - whatever next ? - anything to get out of paying a ticket, i suppose!

[NoMercy]

She could be a very nice traffic warden, Ianfran. lol.

Nomercy...that was my mum not my MIL!
My MIL is an evil old cow. This Xmas she spent around �100 EACH on Mr O & the junior O's.
I got a pack of face flannels with the 99p price tag still attached. Grrrrr.

[NoMercy]

Oops - sorry for the mistake Mrs. O.

Btw, I've just caught the thread with the news about your ring. Excellent!!

My ex bought me a ring on my 20th birthday (which I still have now). It's got nine diamonds and five sapphires. It's a really unusual design. A few years later, I looked down at my hand, and to my utter horror, I noticed that the centre diamond had fallen out. I was devastated, but decided to speak to my bf about it when he returned from his golfing trip. 3 days later, I came out of the bathroom and saw something glistening in the carpet!! Yep - twas my missing diamond. I sent the ring and loose stone back to Selfridges in London and they charged me �245 to put it back in. I had a right argument with the woman at the time, but when all was said and done, I was just grateful that I eventually found the stone. x

For a wedding present 30 odd years ago - my sister-in-law gave us her �10.00 Freemans cataloque commission cheque.

Last Christmas, my son bought me a gun - no not just a gun - a rifle - one of those bb type things - he said because I kept moaning about the foxes damaging our fence in the garden - I could sit up all night and shoot them !!!

What a plonker - as if I want that mess on my lawn ....!!!!!!

[NoMercy]

LOL Den - I remember my Grandfather waiting up all night to shoot the damn fox that had killed nearly all his chickens. He ended up nearly giving the postman a heart attack!
