So what constitutes a bottle of "good" wine?

"gave the teacher a selection of Jo Malone products. "

WTF?!?!?

DS2s will get a mini notebook, bookmark/clip thing & thorntons chocolates and I don't care if they like it.

Still can't work out why the class reps aren't organising a collection so the teacher/assistants get a decent gift!

piat dor if hey are lucky
champers down ot £9 at tesco

Oh, whoops, I just put some random (nice) chocolates and smelly candles in my Ocado order for the teachers. That's ok isn't it?

I don't really drink, so I feel uncomfortable buying booze for others - I don't know what to buy, and worry they (like me) don't drink. Pretty unlikely in this country, though.

i wouldnt regard that as areaon not to buy booze though.

Yeah, I know. And like us, they can just regift. We're forever regifting booze. I think we have cases of wine sitting about, particularly as DH gets gifts of booze from suppliers/colleagues/whatever.

The sad thing is, between us, we can get through about 1/3 of a bottle of wine, happily, of an evening. So what will we do with a full bottle? Gah.

Love the term 're-gifting' !

how old is your baby?

Can I gather up details of all the wine we've got and get people to tell me what's rubbish? As I seriously don't know.

nqc

My baby? 14 months. Not so much of a baby any more.

(We didn't really drink before we had kids.)

Sometimes, we share one of those tiddly bottles of Stella. You know those tiny ones? That's enough booze.

(And before anyone starts thinking we're teeny tiny people with our teeny tiny bottle of stella, we're not. We're so not.)

ah well imfe you will when he is older
when i moved here and went to t eh induction thign at the doctors i stunned them by tellign them i drank nothing nor smoked.
*( this form a gal who used to drink pints of gina d tonic)

I@ve got a mental image of a family of Borrower sized people...

Hmm, but we didn't really drink pre-kids. I mean, maybe two pints each of an evening? Max.

I'd rather not drink large amounts, bad family history.

"telling htem I drank nothing" !! Clearly you hadn't discovered Waitrose cheese and wine parties then!!

(what is the 'f' in imfe for? I can't think of anything polite to put in there ...)

i know
larks

il never be lalowed to foget that

Oh, my first induction was hilarious, as I (stupidly) honestly answered the "have you ever taken any recreational drugs". Never mind that I hadn't taken anything for years, and had never been addicted.

The mw couldn't spell some of the drugs. And then I had to be sure to keep my folder away from my in-laws, as they were the types to read it.

in my fishy opinion?

Fishy! That sounds good.

(I was getting 'feeble' or 'f*cking', neither of which sounded right.)

yep

So could I get MN people to tell me what all the wine is? Or is there any easy way to find out?
