to have put less effort into the presents wrapped after the festive sherry?

[TooOldForGlitter]

I'm not a great wrapper. If you're lucky you get a stick on bow. After three a festive sherry the presents at the back end of the line look shabby. Am I going to hell?

Mine look like that without Sherry.
I start out with good intentions, but it all goes south pretty quick. The last ones don't even get a stick on bow.

I do my best wrapping when I'm a bit pissed. Or possibly care less.

The early ones even had curly ribbon. The last ones are in Aldi bags secured with string, well, almost .

I use these

Can't go wrong much

(As if i'm wasting a good strong-handled Aldi bag on a present! Pah!).

Ooh i'm liking the Lakeland wrap fixers. Convenient and I can be wanky and say cellotape? Ha! Peasant, I use wrap fixings.

They don't work very well with M&S paper (get me!) - it's too thick, but fine with Morrisons etc

I like to have a few bottles glasses on Christmas Eve and have a wrapping fest and used to have the twisted sellotape with my fucking hairs stuck in it nightmare but no more.

YABU drinking sherry.

My presents look awful. This year, the ones I ordered online for my parents arrived ready wrapped. Result!! Don't think my 15 year old is overly bothered!

last year dd1 actually helped me wrpa her own presents

I know, it sounds bad but she said it was fine, she knew what they were anyway (to ensure she actually got things she wanted)

anywho, we ran out of wrapping paper so a couple of hers just had a token chunk stuck on the side of them

see I'm the one going to hell

Nope Trin, upwards you go for being teetotal for so long. Sorry.

And congrats

Must admit I feel better now knowing that Trinity has taken my spot in hell. Wrap your own dear, its just as magical. For SHAME!

Oh but me sending the glitter kid to the self serve tills to buy her own minecraft book for Christmas is different. It's different I tells you!

why are you saying sorry?

I am ridiculously proud of myself for just giving up the drink and never looking back

I try not to gloat but inside it feels awesome...18 months now

also off the nasty fags since march I'm a vaping girl now

Am ignoring leeds for calling sherry drinking unreasonable. It's snowballs and cherry b on Christmas eve!

roffle...for shame!!!

She wanted to help, I tried to stop her.
When I said that it would ruin the magic she said with the accompanying eye roll 'mum, I know he's not real, its ok'

but sending her to buy her own redstone minecraft book would be A STEP TOO FAR!!!!! I'M SHOCKED

Gah - no. Not sorry for you at all. You're free! Just not going to hell

I wrap my presents in baconfoil!

oh erm, no I definitely did not wrap all of geckos presents in tinfoil on her birthday a couple of years back

no not at all

to be fair, she thought they were wrapped in magic paper, I knew she would
I'm not that mean
