You misunderstand me, my sweet.

Class as in "elegance", "style", "manners" - you see now?

A person from any class you care to mention can behave decently. This is, as I said, a practical demonstration of someone not behaving very classily.

VinegarTitsTheSeasonToBeJolly · 22/12/2008 14:21

I think binbag suits better dont you

jingleMAMADIVAsbells · 22/12/2008 14:23

Give them in my direction I don't have any to open

DS has though but not a mountain full

nannyeggnogg · 22/12/2008 14:25

lol at hunker

loobeylou · 22/12/2008 14:25

give them to the sally army who help out needy families.

PingpingsatonSantasface · 22/12/2008 14:25

LOL yep for sure VT.

Go to your local council and find out which children won't be getting presents children in care homes women's refuge etc Even though I am not sure why I am telling you this.

tinselwrappedBodyBag · 22/12/2008 14:27

i will give them to the sally army then.

poshwellies · 22/12/2008 14:28

I'm sure you will

nappyaddict · 22/12/2008 14:33

ring your local refugee council. there's people there with literally nothing

also the children's ward at your local hospital and children's residential homes would probably be very grateful.

loobeylou · 22/12/2008 14:38

oh and if you do give them away, be sure to write a letter to all the people who dole out sacks full of tat next yr, asking them to buy only a token gift and donate the rest to a charity of your choice? or ask them to buy you something from "send a cow" etc, there are MANY worthy causes out there

BouncingTinsel · 22/12/2008 14:44

Bodybag

You are totally ungrateful and mean-spirited.
As well as incredibly insensitive. Why don't you have a read of
this thread.
Perhaps it might prick your conscience (assuming you have one).

ScottishMummy · 22/12/2008 14:51

braying and gloating about your alleged indulged life is crass and insensitive.but hey maybe you are just hoping to get a response and rise out of folk

few responses make you feel recognised?recognition isnt all though, hey we all notice dogs poop on pavement doesn't mean we like it

SalLikesEggnogUnderMistletoe · 22/12/2008 14:53

Call your health visitor. She will know which families under their care will really appreciate it. Write yourself a note (proofread by someone else) of what to say though, as I don't think you could trust your own instincts on tact.

SalLikesEggnogUnderMistletoe · 22/12/2008 14:54

Or if that isn't your thing, drop it at the paediatric wing of your local hospital.

dreamingofagreenlawnchristmas · 22/12/2008 14:58

Sorry, but if you could tear yourself away from your huge plasma TV for just a moment you might find a world out there of people who won't be getting anything this Christmas. There are people reading this who are struggling to pay mortgages, food bills and God only knows what else, let alone find money for presents.

And no, I'm not one of them. We're very comfortably off. And I'll freely admit to the fact that my PILs bless them sometimes give my dcs mountains of tat at Christmas and I wonder what I'm going to do with it all.

But then I remember how bloody lucky we are even to be in a position to moan about it - and I'll admit to feeling pretty ashamed of myself. Maybe you might like to think about that?

flixx · 22/12/2008 15:10

I have come to the conclusion that despite trying to paint a picture to the contary, bodybag is actually a fat, lonely cowbag who's husband has run off with someone far younger, prettier and with more class.

and seeing as she has no RL friends she has nothing better to do with her day than sit on here, typing out a big pile of crap to try and upset others just to make herself feel better about her own totally shite existence.

Ronaldinhio · 22/12/2008 15:23

mmmm

has this maybe started to go just a bit too far?

not the best post in the world maybe but bloody hell some of this seems really really extreme

flixx · 22/12/2008 15:37

Ronaldinhio, its not just this post, she has made quite a few like this today

MrsMagooo · 22/12/2008 15:46

Please tell me this is a joke?!

There are families out there struggling to buy their DC anything & you moan about to much

You are nasty.

chequersandroastedchestnuts · 22/12/2008 15:49

Will you be unwrapping an new rocking horse this year?
