If you were intending to give someone a bottle of wine ......

[BigSandyBalls2015]

...... 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 , 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 .
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?

Fucking hell 😂😂😂

I'm so glad you updated.

So, the tussle was definitely her trying to get her wine back then!

hilarious thread!

Hahahaha that's so funny thanks for updating

Oh OP...

Well you get all the points for the update, but...

Absolutely her own fault for bringing the whole thing in in the first place though. Only herself to blame. Wonder what she gave everyone who was due to get the rest of that case though... 🤔

Howling here! Thanks op! I remember reading this last year! 😂😂😂

There was an identical thread to this last year..strange

It's the update Just

JustanotherMortificado this is the thread from last year. Look at the date of the OP.

At least she brought a bottle this year.She might have considered that she'd given you six years worth (or twelve?) in one go last year! Hee hee!

Ha ha, thanks for updating OP! Mortificado!

Bah ha ha ha. I'm sitting here thinking, I've read this before, then I started questioning the date didn't think about 2017 then I'm thinking "shit, have we been hacked"??

And all year you have been known as the mum that nicked the case of wine

I think the reason for the "tussle" was she was holding a heavy box and wanted to be sure you'd got a good grasp on it before she let go of it. Her fingers may have been stiff after standing there while your DH chatted away to her.
Must have been meant for you in appreciation of your kindness -- a little thing for you to do but a great help to her.

Best update ever

glad u updated us op

That's hilarious!!! I had never seen this thread until today and its amazing!!
I guess turning up with one bottle was the explanation for last year's 'tussle'
Hahahaha!

Best thread ever! I didn't even realise it was dated from last Christmas until the update!
'Slight tussle'

I would have agreed that it was all for you until this:

Well DH opened the door, and she came into the hall and they were chatting. I came into the hall, clocked the case of wine in her hands, and gleefully took it off her before she had offered it to me if you see what I mean. Bit rude with hindsight. She didn't let go straightaway so there was a very slight tussle.

I'm giggling as if I was the one that had drunk all the Prosecco!

Can you give her a nice case of wine for the new year or something of similar value?

Brilliant

Oh my. From last year.

OP, you're kind of brilliant and definitely hilarious;)!!

Hilarious.

Brilliant OP. I bet she's been cussing you all year! 🤣
Wonder if she was enroute to a party last year and had to turn up empty handed.
Thanks for the update.

Omg! Brilliant update. You owe her a box of wine

Ha! I remember this from last year, it was her mistake. Never take more bottles in than you are willing to give. It's always going to be awkward.

Fantastic!
