Ok, we all know we are all going to get some dodgy prezzies for christmas so i thought it would be a bit of fun to post them on here to see if we can swap it for something we would rather have! Photos would be good!
I already have been given at least 6 bottles of wine....can't stand the stuff! ( not since i made myself really really really poorly and made a compleat ar*e of myself!....long story!) Will swap for Magners!:D
I'm sure the prezzie from my sister in law will be a compleat classic so i'm sure i will be putting a few posts on!

Sounds like a good idea :clapping:
i've been given 3 bottles of wine and a bottle of gin
i'll keep the gin not sure about the wine though i don't drink it
but surprisingly enough only one box of chocolates

Fab idea monkey, I always get some lovely stuff that I simply won't use, nothing wrong with it...just not my thing..Im sure I can add them here :-)
Infact I can start the list...
4 tubs of M&S talcs...floral smells......in a presentation box. Just don't use talc...makes me sneeze! ... swap for anything pink...smelly...edible......crafty

In what way is he damaged?
If he is good at decorating I'll gladly go buy you a case of baileys and do a swap!

He has been married to me for 20 years - that's enough to damage anyone. But yes he can decorate when he puts his mind to it. :laughing:

I'm more concerned about the amount of alcohol we all seem to be getting (not me of course I'm pregnant) do people think childminders like/need a drink or two.:laughing:

Sounds like you and me have had a similar experience with the wine Monkey - made a right t*t out of myself at a minders do but in all fairness I had an allergic reaction to something I had drunk earlier (a WKD) and the wine made the reaction worse, consquently I now can't drink wine or WKD !!:rolleyes:
