    I got a hair trimmer despite it being known that I already have an expensive one. A jumper and tshirt that are too small and a shower/deoderant kit that's pointless to me because I can't take it back to London in my hand luggage.

    If you like, I'll sway you for a duvet set. I could use a duvet set.

    A duvet set :confused: ....i'm starting to think there's some hidden message there, who gets a bloody duvet set for Xmas? :mad:

    :(

    Do you live at home?

    Maybe they are trying to tell you it's time to move out?

    You never said what duvet set you got was it the Spongebob set.I'd happily take it off your hands :cool:It's the thought that counts be worse if they didn't get you anything wouldn't it...

    Argos were doing duvet sets for €2 a while ago... is it white with a black pattern by any chance?

    Why would anyone give you a pink and sparkly goat....

    it probably says more about the people who got it for you than it does about you.

    That's what Im telling myself anyway.I got a bathroom weighing scales for the second year running.:(

    I honestly think that is others just pawning off unwanted gifts from last year. I mean who goes out and says "OOOh weighing scales, that'll make a good present".:confused:

    They are both from aldi as far I can tell.I think it was a case of whatever was on special offer on the week the Christmas shopping was done!:)

    Bet it was a similar case with the duvet set.

    That seems to be depressingly the case, i feel very insulted now.

    House warming present maybe... Christmas present no. Whoever got you the duvet set doesn't like you, and probably resented having to get you anything at all.


    Who got it for you?

    My mum! :eek:

    ^ a more interesting question - who's that in the straight jacket?....you?, what is that all about?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    My mum! :eek:

    Ah right, mums are different. They are scorpy hint-droppers. Do you still live in the family home, or have you your own place?


    Oh, and I can't tell you about the jacket =P

    Got me own place going on 13 years now.....oh! do tell! (re: hot straight jacket girl)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Maybe they gave you the wrong present so?? Or it's for your box room?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi

    Hmmm.
    It's a single duvet....maybe that's a clue?

    Either one of two things happened here; she possibly doesn't realize she picked up the wrong size, or shes the old fashioned type that doesn't want her son sleepin' with easy wimmins. For your sake I hope its the first, the second are a lot of work =/


    oh! do tell! (re: hot straight jacket girl)

    Shhh. I'll tell ya some time when I'm pissed :pac:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    ^ box room?...oi!, my place is nice actually....maybe she's tryna tell me to change me sheets?

    No no!...that's not......oh god :o
    I'm stepping away from this thread....not communicating thoughts correctly :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Wait...what?

    Ah come on, where did that get confusing? Don't say the whole thing!


    Mammies know their son's don't change their bed linen, and probably would leave a duvet set on until either it goes thread-bare or things start biting. Larianne has you sussed tbh :pac:

    So, i'm a dirty scrubber?.....no way!
