THAT Christmas Present!The entries in the Members' Forum seem a bit like the press these days, a bit thin for new news.
So how about a small competition for the most 'tat' Christmas present received this year by one of our Members?
I will start with a present from my brother who heard that I was visiting the 12 Wireless Kaserne after 50 years, and gave me a copy of;
' The War Office Infantry Training ,'
'The National Serviceman's Handbook'
Published 5th February 1955.
Any other gifts that could compete?
We can get Marlene to be the judge.

At least a book is useful, Bill.
I got a large earthenware mug with a slot in the bottom to keep a biscuit in. Apparently it is to be used for hot drinks in the garden but on cold days I' rather come inside for hot drinks. Not that I do much gardening anyway. (Aren't I an ungrateful ***?).

Re: THAT Christmas Present!But that would mean I can't join in though

It has to be said, that despite me writing a wish list and putting a copy on the kitchen table where Clive does his crossword, himself managed to avoid getting anything on it and instead went to Sainsburys and buy one get one free on smellies. This wouldn't be so bad for most ladies except that my signature perfume since I was a mere lass is 4711!!! I love it, I buy it in huge bottles from E-bay, it's in the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom...I never use anything else as it gives me (and him) hayfever...
Mind you I was grateful that he and Ben did the shopping and he looked after me so well when I was so poorly over Christmas so I feel guilty moaning. Just puzzled as to why

xmas giftsAs the forum seems a bit quiet. My late mother, for years bought me after-shave as a christmas pressie. This, despite the fact I havent had a shave since 1973 !! Maybe she was trying to tell me something !!

THAT Christmas Present!I got a pair of gloves with no fingers in them! Just the job for this extra cold winter. Still it's the thought that counts!
