now Sarah you must tell us how you managed that - I didn't think it was humanly possible

I was getting migraines and bad eczema and the doc recommended I stopped eating / drinking caffeine to see if it made a difference.

So I cut out all caffeinated tea, coffee, coke... and of course chocolate had to go too

Sadly it worked so no more choccy for Sarah.

I do miss it sometimes especially when the kids have drinking chocolate and I can smell it.

I got a box of goodies from my MIL...

thought lovely... till I looked more closely and she had given me USED make up
eye shadows that had been opened and used. ew

why!!!!!

her mum had wrapped me and dh up some plastic cups, coasters and tea tray...

denim coloured with a picture of cats on...

again why!!!!!

make up I gave to Dh sister, she didnt mind that it was used by her mum
and the cup set will go to a charity shop

I loved all my presents this year, except a bottle of port, but that is just because I don't like it, but they weren't to know that, still really appreciated it though and someone will drink it. I did get 2 pairs of hair straighteners, a pair of remmingtons from OH which I opened and used Christmas morning and OH ripped the box, then a set of Cloud 9 straighteners from DS and his GF, so I have packed the remmingtons away as a back up set.

we got some cartoon cat pictured coasters once - we have dogs and I wouldn't want pictured coasters on them anyway same family member gave us rustic pottery items for years in a row - hate unglazed pottery, can't touch it! Naff presents every year - but this year, nothing - we were spared thankfully

This year I had nice presents but a couple of years ago a mindees mum bought me a face painting kit !!!!!

Think this is the winniest by far

my SIL gave me used toiletries, i presumed she just gathered what was in her bathroom cabinet & put it in a carrier bag, all were nearly full but you could tell they were old (design, dusty etc)

I vote for this one as the worst gift of the year!!!

I vote this one to be the worst present euwwwwww

ive had my trusty brown ankle DM'S for about 20 years! lol. love them and have phased of wearing them. so comfy!

my sister saw me wearing them the other day and dug hers out that she wore as a teenager and has started wearing them, hers are purple velour and if id known they had been hiding in the back of my mum and dads pantry for the last few years i would have claimed them! lol

I can't join this year as my family asked me to buy what I wanted and they would give me the money back so I mostly did that my BF's parents gave me the book I wanted and £150 argos vouchers for a new wardrobe My BF gave me a jumper and lot of other good stuff and the same with the girls so I've had an excellent christmas, I'm now working on the hints for my birthday
