Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

The worst jumper everWhy are bad present stories always about grannies? At least in my case...
I was at boarding school for a long time (told you my Dad didn't like us - see previous post below).
Anyway, being an all girl school EVERYTHING was about fashion, hair, nails, make-up, blah blah. Being the '80's it was all hi-tech stuff, shoulder pads, etc.
Anyway, on my birthday there was a big squishy package from my granny. My friends all gathered around for the big opening.
Inside was a home knitted tank top upon which was a painstakenly sewn farm scene, complete with rabbits, sheep, cows, a fence, trees and a cloudy sky.
My friends tried to be really polite and said "Ohhh lovely". I told them all I hated it, but that damn jumper ruined my street cred for years.
