...... would you turn up on their doorstep with a case of it?

DDs friends mum did this on xmas eve, as a thank you for giving her girl lifts to the sport they do. I'd had a little drink Grin, and sort of took the box from her, saying how very generous, what a lovely thing to do! really no need etc etc.

DH has been winding me up ever since saying she only intended to open it and give me a bottle, and prob had five more mates to visit Blush.
I keep thinking about it and going hot and cold!! How embarrassing, but who would do that? You'd come to the door with one brittle surely?

I find it strange to suggest that someone would lug a box of wine to your door and expect to give you one bottle from it. Who does that? The box is yours, OP. Enjoy!

I was reading this, thinking I was having deja vu - brilliant update. Why haven't you ever asked?

This was brilliant.

Was ready to comment "keep it all" then I noticed the date...

I'm of the opinion that if she didn't want you to take it all then she shouldn't have brought it all in.

Just read all this brilliant, I'm sure it was all for you because who would bring 5 extra bottles of wine to the door when they didn't need to? Did she ever hint throughout the year that it wasn't all for you?

The dates puzzled me as last few said 3rd Jan. Then looked and was 2016
