A mail order company has just sent me a random thing (in error). It's like a wooden ornament, carved into a face shape, a bit like the Easter Island heads Confused. And it has 'Rachael' carved on the front of it. Apparently it's a 'personalised glasses holder' (the face wears the glasses).

I've just phoned them and they've apologised for the error and said that I can 'keep it with their compliments'. Lucky me Hmm I don't know any Rachaels, let alone any who wear glasses...

So anyway, in the spirit of Christmas I thought I would offer it out there, should anyone want a slightly wierd stocking filler for a Rachael who tends to lose her glasses Smile

Rachael / cycle, the tiara offer still stands Xmas Grin

Another Rachael who wears glasses here. and I lose them. I get round this by owning 4 pairs. I could maybe buy one for each pair and make my own little easter island

Ooh, these RachAels are like buses Xmas Grin

I'm enjoying myself too much to end it now though - can I drag it out a bit longer before I decide who the 'winner' is? Xmas Grin

Im actually quite impressed that they had it spelt with the extra A. My childhood was spent looking longing at other childrens personalised pencils because I couldnt find any spelt the right way. Rachel was just not acceptable.

Ah Chopsypie a sob story will get you everywhere with me Xmas Smile

I think there needs to be a bit of a 'StrictlyComeGlasses' type competition, with looooooooooooooong pauses and a phone-in vote

Crusoe maybe if you win you could blob a bit of blue tac over the extra 'a'?

cyclebump and chopsypie ... do either of you have a friend or relative who is moaning about not getting what he / she ordered for you in the post?

If you collect and display it ... imagine how that would put the wind up them come new year! Xmas Grin

NorksAreTinselly · 19/12/2012 14:41

All the Rachels I know are el. One of them is short sighted but wears contacts.

Damn, I could have given it to her as a Christmas present. She'll be gutted when I tell her, gutted I say!

My DD wears glasses and she's always losing them but her name isn't Rachael or Rachel.

dawnpreview · 19/12/2012 14:49

I'm a Rachael, but I only wear glasses for driving. Could I mount it on my dashboard do youthink?!!

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 14:49

Can you not rename your DD? Xmas Smile

This has made me splutter tea everywhere.

I wonder who will win!

HazeltheMcWitch · 19/12/2012 15:03

I knew there would be Rachaels out there.

I believed in the poorly-sighted Rachaels.

SubsisteSermonemStatim · 19/12/2012 16:00

Yes Hazel, yes you did

rockinaroundthebadtasteflump · 19/12/2012 18:33

Nobody even wants to win. I was expecting to come back to at least a handful of begging PMs for me to consider - but no Xmas Sad
