Unwanted Gifts

Okay, okay, okay ... the high spirited, totally irrational, shock of the new, over reaction of the weekend has now finally had time to settle down, and the Dooyoo site seems to be returning to at least some semblance of order and effective working, so I'll tone down some of the bitching and moaning and ranting that came out at the time in my half formed, but very annoyed, post on the Dooyoo redesign. Much of those comments were/are justified, but at least it looks now like many of the bugs are being sorted out in the end, particularly those very problematic ones about being unable to search, post or rate (which are quite fundamental for this site, after ...  Read the complete review

We all get thm and we end up waiting ages for the best possible present then your auntie Maggy turn's up on your door gives you a big fat kiss then comes the Christmas present all big and wrapped nicely!!! Well I haven't good an auntie Maggy but I have got a auntie Julie much like auntie Maggy she gave me what looked like a fantastic present all lovely and big but upon opening it to my shock and amazment I saw the most hideous jumper in the history a bright yellow jumper with big orange stripes ( no this isn't a joke!!!) but worst of all I don't see my auntie much and due to that my mum made me wear the jumper on the entire weekend she stayed to make ...  Read the complete review

If there are Mums out there,who like me, look forward to the time when the children give you your present from them. They get excited ,as they watch you unwrap what Daddy has bought them to give you. You get ready to go over the top with your "oh its lovely darling,just what I wanted",followed by kisses and hugs.

These would have been wonderful presents,apart from the fact that I was bought the first two items to enable ME to do the painting in ...  Read the complete review

Every year I always look forward to my Pressies but every year I seem to get the same sort of things! What things you ask?,well bubble bath and not just one lot usually three or four different ones!, yes i do like bubble bath but the sets always have body or hand cremes in that I NEVER use, so they end up on the bathroom shelf to collect dust. Then there are chocolates, being quite picky I only like chocolates without fillings and I always get the latter...yukkkk. Then there are picture frames and candles.Yes i do like these but some people buy me them every year, there are a limit to the amount of pictures anyone can display and I met it about 3 years ago!. ...  Read the complete review

Christmas is an expensive time, it is stressful and even the grand day itself is full of dangers, you know the ones the top that is too small/big, the wrong type of underwear, an ornament too far in fact the list is endless. I would suggest that you all go out and buy some post it notes (little self adhesive pieces of paper). After Christmas is done and dusted, look at the prezzies that you got that you did not want or are unsuitable to you. Those from places like Marks and Spencers are not a problem as they can be exchanged. But all the other ones, what doo yoo doo with them? Simple, write on a post it note who gave you the present, stick ...  Read the complete review
