What do we think WigWamBam will get from Christmas this year from her MIL???

[YuleLoveHekateAtSolstice]

After the knicker elastic and the loofah, whatever will it be?

Oh, it was very boring, and has nowhere near the comedy value of some of her other offerings.

It was a hideous old-lady-stylee handbag with a secret pocket to stash an umbrella ... umbrellas being one of the things I can't use because of my hands.

She's just not trying hard enough, is she

How disappointing that's almost normal sounding.

can you not bind the umbrella to your good self using the copious amounts of knicker elastic she so thoughtfully gave you year before last???? Possibly using the half loofa as some sort of handle?

Is she not simply thinking ahead in some fiendishly cunning way?????

WigWamBam- I know the exact handbag you mean,someone bought me one for my birthday.

Maybe your Mil won it in a raffle

I might put the half loofah into the umbrella pocket.

If this is thinking ahead then I really don't want to know what next Christmas has in store

She did steal the toy from my daughter's special Christmas cracker and refused to let her have it back, so her oddness hasn't quite gone away ...

WWB - is she the sort of person who will expect you to use that handbag and will be massively offended if you don't use it for at least the next 10 years?!

How disappointing for mnetters as KaySamuels said . Perhaps you could request a more tasteless present next time so we are not disappointed again. Ooooh there's always your b'day of course - when is that? We can look out for another thread!

Lollipop - probably Doesn't make me any more likely to use it though!

It's very disappointing that she hasn't chosen as wisely as she normally does, isn't it. That elastic kept certain factions of MN sniggering for weeks!

she is progressing though, isnt she. You might get After Eights in about a hundred years from now, at this rate. There are some good example on the other thread too, so you aren't alone!
