And it is something I will never use in a million years, I do not want a bluetooth ear piece for my phone!

lumpsdumps you're a bit ungrateful, aren't you?

I don't think she is at all! Why should someone be grateful for something they have specifically said they don't want?? How bizarre to think they should!

Last year I got a 16GB memory stick from DH. I had asked him what size his was (oo-er!) and so he assumed that I must want one . NO! It has come in useful since, I will admit, but what a crap Christmas present.

When I was pregnant 4 years ago, DP got me some rather crapola pressies TBH. One was the donkey from Shrek (apparently I remind him of a donkey/camel when i'm out carrying my camera bags!), oh and the Womens Weekly kids cookery book. Can't remember the other things, but I remember feeling quite .

I'm due again xmas day and am 99% sure he's got me Trollbeads jewellery as he was quite alarmed at the weekend to hear you need to buy a lock for the bracelets/necklaces and that they do different size bracelets, lol. I need to get him something now, we had planned on putting money towards a new fridge/freezer.

Dh is generally pretty good but he did buy me a kettle one year. Said he thought I would like it because it had a super fast boil feature So I thanked him at the time and simmered myself. Once or twice I have boiled over and mentioned it (ok about 500 times). Best not to get steamed up about these things though.

One year for some inexplicable reason DH got me some stripy toe socks. I never wore them -they were hideously uncomfortable and it took about half-an-hour to get your toes into the right holes.
This wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't bought me another pair a couple of years later!
Oh and then there was the Michael Flatley Lord of the Dance video - he thought I would like it because I did a bit of river dancing one evening when pissed after a couple of glasses of wine

Chillihoppi, I can understand that you think I'm ungrateful as I said that earlier in the post. I just can see about 30 things that he has bought me in the past that are just unused, I just would rather he bought me something that is something that I would use and something that I'm obviously not going to use.
