I make some pretty nice cards, spending hours fiddling with little gems,bits of ribbon and layer upon layer of decoupage.So whywhen it comes to wrapping do all my gifts look like a bag o' spuds in newsprint

Dear macmac, so there is something you are not very good at. 
I just knew there would be something, if we waited long enough.

Dear macmac, maybe that's the problem, you're not wearing boxing gloves are you!
I always buy square presents, they are so much easier to wrap.

Daer OH, please do not pick a fight with an Orang Utan, you WILL loose. 
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

My little sister has, for the first time in living memory, wrapped all her Christmas presents early this year. She spent ages doing them, with really lovely paper, beautiful fancy ribbons and bows, with a large chocolate disk label on each one.
Then she went out and the dog found smelt the chocolate
She's starting again tomorrow

Chantal how could you laugh after all her efforts.
You might end up getting the half chewed bar of chocolate.

Mine are all wrapped up now and back in the wardrobe.
I did see a fab t-shirt for me to wear over the festive period in Asda with Slightly Grumpy written on it. Think i'm sorted there for Christmas Day. Will go nicely with my Bah Humbug hat
