OH loved having bonfires in my rural garden, having always lived in cities - really brought out the pyromania in him. After he'd destroyed 2 incinerator bins, I got him an old oil drum - tied it up with a big ribbon and put it in the middle of the garden - he still reckons it's the best present ever!Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!

Received:
2 years ago, just after midnight on Christmas morning, OH woke me up and told me to look out the back window. There, all aglow and looking very pretty decked in fairy lights, was my new whirlygig And, yes, I'd asked him to put in a hole for one in the garden for ages!
Given:
There was a ladies club I used to go to, and we had a Christmas party with a Secret Santa. I don't have kids myself ( tho I have shares in 2 step-kids ) but every mother I know seems dotty about their kids, so I thought one of those key ring fobs you can load up with your own photos (much like a digital photo frame) would go down great with some doting mother. Well, apparently not. It seemed to be the duff present of the evening, despite all the bubble bath. But at least no-one knew who had donated itCaro
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day

I had a man's dressing gown - big enough to fit Big Daddy and that was so old, it wasn't on Tescos computer when I tried to exchange it!
And the same year I had a lime green (badly) hand knitted jumper that m-in-law had received the year before as a pressie which she kindly thought would fit over my baby bump.
And the next year I had a voucher that was out of date, with some out of date chocolates that had gone a funny colour.
ALL of these things were from my m-in-law..... PMSL

Ooh, I've just remembered...
When me and MrPB were in the very early stages of our relationship, we would send each other very long letters and little pressies.
One day, out of the blue, he sent me a box of choccies. How lovely, I thought! I took them into college with me and shared the top layer with my two friends.
When I took the empty top layer off to start on the bottom layer...to my surprise it was completely empty!! The little wotsit had carefully cut open the cellophane so you couldn't see the opening, stolen all the choccies, resealed the box and cellophane, and sent it to me!!
I did laugh!!
