One Year I got....
A top of the range mobile phone from the Mrs Mudbutton and Little Mudbutton's. It was a very expensive gift and so much so they tied it in with my 30th B'day!

Now i realise that at Xmas/B'days 'It's the thought that counts'

I should of been more grateful however, the fact that i had chosen it, ordered it and paid for it and all they (when i say they i mean her, kids were far to young to realise) was intercept the postie and stick a fecking bow on the city link bag..

Suffice to say, no longer Mrs Mudbutton, i dunno i guess i thought her heart wasnt in it anymore, I win though, i got to keep the mini Mudbuttons they buy me ace prezzies every year now, I still pay for em but hey we cant have everything?

It depends really
I'd rather have a present I want than have my family waste money on something I don't (especially since I'm the only wage earner) and if it's expensive and a luxury, it's harder to justify buying it for myself. So I've had a couple of presents where I've ordered them myself and just been given them afterwards and it's worked out well.

On the other hand, if she just hijacked it after you ordered it, you're well shot of her.

Yeah, see where you are coming from..
And me and new Mrs Mudbutton are gonna go shopping together to get each other something...She's much better than the old model!

God help you all if the QOTW is Ex's soon hehe!
