But couldn't be arsed putting the same amount of care and attention into giving gifts.
I just get around this by forgetting everyone's birthdays.

Won't be long now until they abandon me. And let's face it, they should.

if they start moaning or whinging, call them selfish bastards who want to celebrate for their own reasons rather than because of you. Then punch them.

I know exactly how you feel. I always end up getting THE most generic brthday/Christmas gifts from the family (Lynx box-sets for fucks sakes. And socks.). Its as though no-one has bothered to pay any attention at all to anything that interests me, but if I do the same back, I never hear the end of it. And fuck 'the thought that counts', I know they pick things up at the pound shop or chemists because they feel they have to give something.
It's all very petty I suppose, but yeah. It annoys the piss out of me.
