    Probraly
    -books already read which were really crap anyway
    -karoke set - worst thing was i could tell it was expensive, used it once.
    -free samples of aftershave
    -slippers from same person every year
    -lynx sets every year from same person
    -a copy for school, had some ****ty design on the front, never used in case i got slagged!

    COme to think of it, isn't it hard to think of what presents u got over the last few years, maybe its just me being ungrateful?

    - As a kid, woke up on Christmas morning to find that Santa had brought me a bicycle helmet. Although I did get the bike later that day.

    - My ma went to Spain and brought me back a Simpsons mug and mousemat. Although they came in useful.

    - My grandparents gave me Lynx deoderant for xmas. Bear in mind I'm female.

    No, a "friend" thought they'd be just what I needed. For my 17th birthday. It turns out she had won them at a table quiz and I was the unlucky person she offloaded them onto.

    Needless to say, we don't talk anymore.

    Thats when I realised womanhood was upon me.

    When I was 14... I wanted an N64 with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64.
    I got clothes and a make-up set.
    And my little brother got a Playstation with FIFA 99.
    There is no emoticon for how I felt that Christmas.
