BURFDAY PRESSIES - WHATS THE MOST WEIRD THING YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE?

I ask because i'm still waiting for mine from the Spawn! It all started last Thursday, he came in closely followed by 3 of his mates - i told him i didn't want a houseful to which he stuck his head round the door and said 'Ah haaaaaaaaa, if you must know they're here to help me start your birthday present'. Obviously i didn't like to enquire too much more but Friday i got up ... no sign of any present... went to the gym then my friend's then came home merely to pick up my gear before going off for weekend (NEC).
I walked in and was greeted by the spawn demanding to know why a) i'd come home when i was meant to be away all weekend and b) why i hadn't opened his card he'd put in my room at 2am (Then found it by side of bed) ... announced i was home to pick up gear and he said ... that's ok then only i was about to do your birthday present (didn't like to ask why it hadn't been finished from the night before). Off i went.

Got back Saturday night to be greeted with 'Oh for god's sake - why are you home NOW?????' nothing like being made to feel wanted. He then said .... bearing in mind he'd been in the house since 12 noon the day before and this was 6pm 'well, i haven't finished your present yet because you keep coming home' and curiosity finally got the better of me ..... so i said to him ... i don't mean to appear greedy but what exactly IS my present?

'I was going to clean the house from top to bottom but you keep coming home before I even get the chance to start'!!!!!!!!

So, tomorrow on my last day off i'm going to give myself my birthday present and clean the house myself!

... however on this particular birthday i think my favourite present (not including my nice shiny laptop!) was my bag made out of recycled plastic drinks containers ... he knows me so well!

A few years ago I lived in Northampton for a while, my mum was & still is a market fan, she bought me a nice polo shirt one time for my birthday from the market, nice that was until I removed it from the package only to find a hole in the back the size of the channel tunnel :(

Not sure if I want to know the answer to this

Not a birthday pressie but a xmas one, two infact.
In 1998 I came down xmas morning to 2 boxes, one of which was almost 4 foot tall. Giddy as a kipper, I opened it to find a towel rail slightly perturbed, I opened the second box and was greeted with a bright red plastic plant with fibre optic leaves in a display box . I've always been very appreciative of any present and never said a word if I haven't liked something, but I had no choice that day and the plastic plant had to go back. The towel rail was actually in my shed until about 2 months ago until I donated it to my mother! LOL

Gave the wife a nice new wooden toilet seat for Christmas a few years back.

She's never let me forget that one - and to think I spent boxing day fiitting it for her an' all.

You'll all be please to hear i've about finished making my own birthday present! The spawn has mentioned it since and there's been no sign of it .... still there's always christmas - or maybe i should just wrap up his clothes as i iron them and see what he says christmas morning!
