Can you believe it? I wanted a car! And I didn't even get a new bike...just parts for my old one. How awful is it to open up a present and have bike tubes stare at you? Sheesh. So, my NON-wish would be bike parts...even car parts would be icky...unless it came attached to a porche.M. C.

It was a really well intentioned present from a Scandinavian Farm Shop. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately it arrived whilst I was out and was returned to the DHL depot. Two days later I picked it up, on my way to buy the tree. I'd left the unopened 90 cm square box in my car and when I returned I noticed an interesting aroma. As I was fighting the tree, which I somehow needed to also fit in, I left it until I drove home.<BR/><BR/>Sure enough, at home I opened the box. The aroma was now 'fresher' than previously. Unfortunately the inventive Swedish pickled mackerel and the jar of garlic seasoned herrings had exploded across the moose sausage and mixed with the polystyrene packing chips. If I said 'exuberant nappy' I think it would convey part of the effect.<BR/><BR/>Probably not such a great idea for next year. Here, this time, from Michele's and once again, seasonal greetings!rashbrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138427049001650099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-19571010231798209382007-12-23T10:42:00.000+00:002007-12-23T10:42:00.000+00:00Christmas ornaments that are broken when you open ...Christmas ornaments that are broken when you open them....nobodies fault really. <BR/><BR/>Michele sent me.Andi https://www.blogger.com/profile/08373098657928515718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-6806406109818036772007-12-23T10:39:00.000+00:002007-12-23T10:39:00.000+00:00The Hulk in lingere (Shudders) Socks, Tony Stark ...The Hulk in lingere (Shudders) <BR/><BR/><BR/>Socks,<BR/><BR/> Tony Stark Saying h's my fahter "YAAA!"Anthony Stark Ironboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576957070824228870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12535495.post-84510696087011287702007-12-23T10:16:00.000+00:002007-12-23T10:16:00.000+00:00I wish I could make sure you got all of those.
