Oh and by the way

[Whassat]

Such and such has bought your kids some presents...just thought id better tell you

that was the conversation i had with my dads wife last night
:angry: why did she have to tell me that!

it was said in such a way, that she meant for me to say i had bought her kids some presents too. i was really annoyed, and still am a little bit.
i haven't seen the lady in Q for almost a year now.
I told SM i was super skint atm. but now i feel blackmailed into buying something for her/her kids just cos shes done the same for me!
not to mention she got a pay out on some inheritance!!

i might just give them the tin of quality street ive got upstairs

grrrrrr

[Lemon]

Grrrrr, doesn't Christmas bring out the best in people! If she chose to buy something then don't feel guilty hun.

[bikemad]

Id just get 3 selection boxes for a fiver n give them tbh n if they dont like it tough.:happy72:

[nicholamarie]

to be honest i wouldnt bother getting them anything. if you havent seen her for that long then dont bother. she wont do it again next year then

she cant buy for yours and expect something back. she should have asked first

[Patti odoors]

I agree, if you haven't seen them don't worry.

[Olive_Oil]

i wouldnt bother. I always used to feel obliged to give gifts back when i receive them for the kids...but it starts to get out of hand.

[Whassat]

it was the way SM told mum told me

i can relate to that whassat....my mum tends to do that to me...usually last minute so even if i was to send something back it would be too late. ANd im sure that half the time she knows i havent got them anything...

want me to go round and sort her out? :D

yeah, go and get her.
shes meant to be coming around today with some baccy. Ive got my neighbours kid here atm, and if anyone thinks im going anywhere with 4 kids the friday before xmas. they've got another thing coming :laugh:

[nicholamarie]

dont worry about it. just ignore her. they wont buy again if you dont buy back and thats a good thing

[Tinkabell]

Just ignore her, just because she bought for you does not mean you have to do the same.

You don't buy people presents just to receive them back, you buy them because you want that person to have a treat.

I'm going Taunton tomorrow (nuts I know!) but if you want me to pop in to Wilko's and grab a couple of selection boxes (last time I was there they had them on buy 2 for £1.50) - let me know if you want me to pick you up a couple.

I hate it when that happens, so sometimes get a couple, just in case, and then if they aren't needed, my kids can have them instead.

If you do want me to grab them, I can pop them down Sun then if you like.

thanks Ems, but i think SM is coming today. so it will be better for me to give her them today (im just going to give them the tin of quality st)
but if you want to pop in here anyway ive still got a bag full of clothes for you and some toys.
ive now got 3 4/5 yo boys and my girls, ive told them to empty the entire the cupboard so i sort out the toys before xmas.
