Can't afford Christmas - my friends and loved ones will have to have hugs instead

I LOVE hugs...so much better than socks and sweaters!!!

And a hell of a lot cheaper!

Hey...I heard you're good with crafts...I am sure you can come up with beautiful stuff for a nominal price...

Matter of opinion I guess!!! lol

Last year...a girl who makes very little money in the office...single mother...bought tiny gift bags - probably in the discount store...put a couple of chocolate candies in...tied it with pretty ribbon...and it was truly lovely...and gifts for the entire office probably were under $10.-...which is what? something like 5 pounds?

Well i think the happiest will be neil when he gets his present - providing my mate gets off her ass and sorts it.

I am really looking forward to getting my pressie off cathie because i know what she has got me - a set of Blonde, Leggy, Nordic Triplets :drool:

At least i assumne that is what she got me, the text said it was something i had been complaining about not having so it must be that!!!

Did you get Neil Jessica Rabbit??? :shock:

I think you outdone your buddy with this post...he keeps on talking about blonde,leggy,nordic TWINS...

A hug is from the heart, beats a gift from a discount store any day!!!!!

Not that I'm saying Smoggie would frequent a discount store of course, just trying to give a term our overseas members would understand!!!!!

I think i know what Neil wants more than Jessica Rabbit.

I think I know what it is too...he sent me to google it today...hahahahaha...

Well, in about half an hour I'll be off to uni, then four hours later will be back home for a bit, then will be going to hospital 12 miles away for operation (rather annoying seeing how I live two minutes drive away from and on the same street as Sunderland hospital!:roll: ), and should be back home on Monday, so shall see you all then!:mrgreen:

Edit: wahey! 1,111 posts!:D

Need to get to bed earlier on a night.

Then why don't you just do so? Life IS really easy sometimes ;) :D

But then half the things I want to do just don't get done ... :))

Want to or have to ;)

Want.

Must remember to buy some bananas lunch time ...

I'm cold...

Want to move into my new office but don't have a path yet, so it'll get all muddy....

Got lots of boring things that need doing and I can't be ar*ed...

Why don't you wear your snazzy wellies?

I didn't think of that...... However, it is now peeing it down with rain, and I have Doctors on the telly, plus the kettle inside the house where I am now....

And... :))

You're right Michael, hugs are just as good a gift as any, especially with the Smoggy love! :lmao:

Forgot ... got distracted wondering what the parcel is that couldn't be delivered that I have to pick up tomorrow.

As for the hug thing, do they still get wrapped and left under the tree like other presents?

In regards the first line - I hate you.

Hugs - they come wrapped up, complete with bow, and sit under the tree waiting to be claimed!

Wonders when the parcel will arrive that he was expecting, rather than the parcel that he wasn't expecting that he can't collect until tomorrow now ...

Opinions haven't changed...
