    Wrapping the first one or two presents isn't bad

    </p>

    But by the end of the weekthey look like they've been wrapped up by the kebab shop. Mine do anyway.</p>

    Got the paper, tape & scissors out

    Now I've lost the will to breath.

    Will do dinner then open a bottle of something to cheer me up

    No doubt I'll mislabel everything & my owd ma will get the 'stocking filler' from P&C I got for the current Mr Ali.

    Maybe wrap & label that first

    :D

    2 things

    Those bags are great - I inherited about 50 last year (recyling them to the benefit of the earth & my bank balance), everything has been chucked in those except for kids gifts which have to be unwrapped as Santa intended.

    second thing ... I think I know what P&C is, (though never been in there myself - honest) .... what did you buy???!! :eek:

    My Mrs Loves wrapping presents

    claims its really satisfying to see a nicely wrapped pressie once she has finished it

    its great in that she does all the wrapping

    well except for I have to do her presents :(

    Thank God I wasn't there when he unwrapped his

    "How to Retain Staff a Short but Inspirational Guide" book. !

    RE: Got me the

    Oh well, I'm resigned to the "Pamper package" from the local Beauty Salon, which has been bought in a last minute panic for most years other than the one he deviated to aforementioned reputable retailer for surprise of my life!! :D
