My snarking is a medical condition.
The one I have just bought for my husband. I meant to buy him gold class tickets to Skyfall. The nearest cinema that does gold class to us is about 15km away. I failed to note that the gold class sessions stopped boxing day so I have purchased two ordinary tickets to the movies on Dec 30th where we will have to drive past abotu 5 other cinema complexes, including the one within walking distance to our house, to sit in ordinary cinema seats and watch a movie at the end of its run.

Does getting nothing count? Kinda expected it. Got some pretty good stuff from family so can't complain.

Save me Barry!
One year I got a napkin folding book from my MIL. Then, she caught me trying to put into the salvos donation box. That took a lot of fancy talking to get out of!
