emamum · 18-12-2008, 20:29

an engagment ring.....from someone i was trying to get rid of lol

any smelly stuff like body creams, bubble bath, bath salts etc ... im allergic to them - yet certain ones i can use ... but more often than not i cant use them ... They do come in handy for raffle prizes though!!!! Mind you having a shower only - no bath - as well helps ...

so when i say thank you very much but i cant use them i'll donate them to the school as a raffle prize ... because i dont have a bath i only have a shower .. gets me out of trouble ... when that dont work i do say they make me come out in a rash ..

That's why the adults in our family don't buy each other pressies any more...we go and get something we want for Xmas instead.

ah, i bought her musk from avon cos everything else smells like cat wee on her

Smeone once bought me Poison, which I'm allergic to, lol

apart from not liking the smell.

Smellies are very personal to a particular person, they smell different on everyone, so unless you know that person and what they like, it's a bit of a no-no really.

Think I've still got some Charlie Red somewhere, untouched for years...

My next door neighbour (nice lad but not full shilling) bought me a foam rubber doll dressed as a cowboy named 'Mr Wonderful'. When his hand was squeezed he uttered flattering sentances in an american accent

Last year I received some cheese.

The person who gave it to me brought it round a couple of weeks before Christmas and failed to tell me what was in it.

When I opened it on Christmas day I saw that it had 'Keep Refrigerated' written on the pack.................straight in the bin.

My late husband was completely useless at presents. I used to beg him to let me choose what I would like then he could wrap it up but his idea of a good present was a surprise so, no, I had to have something he chose. It was usually more of a shock than a surprise.

One year I asked if I could have a silk nightie. Now, I don't know about you, but to me that suggests something slinky and sexy, which is what I expected. What I got was made of silk all right but it was a maroon nightshirt with a collar and long sleeves and buttons up the front. Ah well, I suppose you could say he tried.

There aren't really any bad presents, but I can remember one, my former mother-in-law once bought me a packet of cigars, just 3 months after I had sent 6 weeks in the chest unit in Bury General and two years after I quiting smoking

You can take it that my ex mother-in-law and I didn't really get on

I feel sorry for your poor mother in law. She would have been better off buying you a pipe.What a waste of good cigars
