Iiiiits another shit gift one, however the gifts I received were given with love so it’s lighthearted really.
I’m the woman who 2 years ago received multiple items with my own face on from an aunty. She did good this year with a snuggly oodie (we won’t talk about the live, laugh, love plank of wood for my wall). But this year my boyfriend (of 7 years) and my parents (of 40 lol) have baffled me. BAFFLED.
Boyfriend and I decided to have a big budget Christmas for once, we said £300 each as it’s been a shit few years and we both had enough money, I got him some headphones he really wanted, pair of trainers, all sorts of things all from his wish list.
For months he kept on talking about how he had spent £200 of the budget early on a main gift, I thought this MUST be theatre tickets as I had been talking so much about going to see more musical theatre as soon as I could and with my passion for a few musicals (Jesus Christ superstar, hairspray etc) I thought he had booked me to see them.
I also had told him how I need a warm coat and gloves for walking the dogs, some slippers as my house floor is freezing, maybe some makeup or lovely bath things.
So imagine my suprise when I opened a sixpence from 1577. Allow me to say that again, a sixpence piece dating from 1577, no warm coat, no theatre tickets. I don’t collect coins or Tudor stuff, yes I really enjoyed “the tudors” drama staring Henry cavell, but, who didn’t?
It was rivalled (but not beaten) by the WALKING STICK, featuring a heavy brass dog handle, from my parents who proudly told me that I can use it as a weapon if I get attacked while walking the dog. Now, I don’t know many 40 year olds who get a walking stick from their parents for Christmas but at least it has a function (of course what they failed to account for us that to use it as a weapon I would first have to chose to take it out of the house) and I’m sure the walking stick will come in handy for something, a school play, a new career in tap dance.
Now I have to run I don’t want to miss any time playing with my new coin.
AIBU to go and spend a load of cash on myself to make myself feel better?? sobs
