Happy Birthday Ruby Page 2
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Thank you guys! That is so lovely! I came on because I thought that you would like to hear that the Mothership has once again held onto her crown as worse gift giver in world. To add to the classics - Toothbrush and floss in stocking, bath cubes and porcelain figures at aged 8, A grey leather credit card holder (I hate leather and grey and have one card), a set of bathbombs I gave her the last year, the pink teddy bear jumper when I was a teenage grunge, this is a good one. PRESENTING MY GIFT THIS YEAR....
One very old empty box of Marks and Spencers Peter Rabbit Christmas chocolates which she is trying to pass of as a jewellery box despite the massive "CHOCOLATES" logo in print on the lid and the serious looking brown stains inside.
Now you see why I didn't mind not having birthdays as a child!
Anyway, Thank you guys! I'm off to have some lunch, big hugs! 
Oh honey - that is one hilarious list of presents.
What did you say when she gave it to you?
My usual trick is to say "Oooooooooooo" and quickly move on.....
Many very happy returns Rubes.
As for your mum's presents, remember it is the thought that counts. (Christ knows what she was thinking.)
Happy Birthday my Squirrel Queen!
Have a good un!
May you get all the pressies you deserve 
HBD R... TGS
I always return bad presents on fire, full of squrrel turds or both.
Happy Birthday, Rubesy!
Happy Birthday.

That reminds me that as a kid I knew people who would tuck shit into plastic bags and light them on peoples doorsteps. Crude but effective comedy. (I had no part whatsoever in these dealings though I'll have you know.)

Maybe paper bags.

NO Mr P, you see the accessibility of bags made of plastic far outweighs the paper ones, as well as the putrid fumes of plastic neatly covers the otherwise overwhelming stench of burning shit. Well so I've been told anyway.
It's nice to hear that there are still some perfectionist craftsmen around...
