Thankyou Cherie they were spot on xxx

Wouldn't be Christmas without a Tibbs row!

Whoever was mine knocked it so out of the park, I'm currently checking my home for cameras. I kind of want to know who it is, but the mystery is amusing to me.

Typically I miss those thanks to time differences. I get the sanitized version of TiBB :laugh:

Concentrate on the nice gifts and not the traditional secret santa funny ones.

It's not funny to get things you don't like for strong reasons. A bingo pen? A pic of someone I hate? I fail to see any humour there. I've had 3 separate people say it was in bad taste.

I ensured all the things I got you as my Santa recipient were things you'd love for example.

I doubt I'll take part in future.

I got the pen because I thought you still went to the bingo.


But hey, I think you should maybe hide the imaginary pen under your imaginary starmer pillow just incase you're tempted to break into your piggy bank to get at the imaginary £20 in loose change before jumping on an imaginary free bus to the bingo.





Hopefully I get someone less childish and ungrateful next year.

That's totally unfair. It's not childish or ungrateful at all. I've stated dozens of times on here that I've quit gambling for the sake of my sanity, money reasons and my health. I don't know how you're unaware of that, but I'll not pursue it.

The Travel and the piggy bank were great, I liked those. But as I've stated I've actually had people pm me to see if I was alright about the other 2 gifts. Never mind Parm, I bear you no ill will. Just wish you'd have thought more about it? I didn't see any humour at all. Sorry about that, I'm sensitive that way, and I hate gambling and I hate Starmer. I can't pretend to like those gifts.

Really sorry I upset you but I had to get it off my chest.

I spent yesterday morning tidying my sons graveside, @Kate, whilst you probably spent it moaning about fake presents. Fake presents you seemed ok with during the reveal, but seemed to get more and more steemed about it as the day went on. I'm guessing cause nobody said they had sent them and thay was probably what bothered you most.

Anyway, I wont peruse it, as I'm outta here before I really say something I will regret to you.

Maybe back next year, but I doubt it, you've taken the fun out of TIBB for me today.

That's a bit harsh Parm but I'll take it. You're entitled to comment. I grieve as well at Christmas you know. I did apologise in two separate threads, here and my Ammi thread. I can't and won't do any more than that. I'm sincere but I'm not grovelling. I was genuinely upset and it was after people had commented that it was a tad thoughtless and was I upset? That was done privately.

That's all I have to say....take it or leave it as you wish. Like I said I don't grovel. If you can't accept what I've said twice! then that's the end of it.

Basically you choose gifts around what you know about the person, so for instance for you Zizi

I would have chosen a new Snake Vivarium
A years supply of frozen mice
and a Tesco Home delivery at Christmas

you are welcome
