Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

My Aunt and Uncle "gifts"Aged 11 to 18, they would give me leggings
Size 12. From Marks and Spencer's. Shaped for middle-aged ladies with huge hips, big arses.
I weighed 4 stone until I was 15, then went up to the HUGE size 8...SIZE 8.
19 to 22, they gave me boxes of acrylic paint and charcoal
Apparently they understood I was 'artistic'. Yes. At 19 I was on a graphics degree course, using a Mac.. Durr
23 to present £5 book vouchers
I told my mum they should have bought me these for all those years. Only name me a book that costs a fiver these days.
Insult to injury: they have loads of kids, all "in the professions", and yet still rake in over a million between them a year. Mum buys them hardback books, expensive perfume etc. on a breadline, and I get £5 leggings. WHO WEARS LEGGINGS. EVER
Mind you, my brother got given Argos £5 novelty watches for every year running. Cheap bastards
