at this time of year is that you have to wrap all the presents, i just can't do it - they look a state. My wallet is a couple of hundred quid heavier though so i suppose it isn't all bad.

You can buy me a present if you like? :wink:

if i wasn't just about finished wrapping the sodding presents it would be worth giving you one just to palm the job off onto you. i've been wrapping for about 3 hours and it feels like 50 and there is only 14 presents in total.

Next year people are getting vouchers.......

No one minds wrapping one present, but if you were my chic if you wanted something nice you would have to play your cards right and offer to do the rest of wrapping for me..... And it would probably take you about 30 minutes not 4 hours and you would probably need less tape and paper.....

it'll be that alright!! :laugh:

OK, I'll let you off then. I actually don't mind wrapping. I put ribbon on and make them all look pretty. thrilled

Miss Tigga · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:09 pm

Well that's ok then. I'll be expecting it so don't forget. I was working in Saltburn all day yesterday aswell!

Miss Tigga · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:11 pm

A couple of streets behind Emmanual Church.

Salty · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:12 pm

ah, the posh end :wink:

doing what may I ask?

Miss Tigga · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:14 pm

I'm a support worker for adults with learning or physical disabilities. I'm only supposed to work in Hartlepool but they've palmed me of too Saltburn, Skelton, Middlesbrough, Great Ayton, Stokesley and anywhere else that way on.

Salty · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:17 pm

interesting, didn't know there was a facility like that in the 'Burn....

mind, the only place I frequent up there is the gay bar (so called cos its men only!! :shock:

in this day and age an all....) on Lune Street :sweeeet:

Miss Tigga · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:57 pm

I must admit that Lune Street Club looks a right sh!t hole! I work in the street opposite there. There aren't any facilities as such, the people I support there just live in a normal house on a normal street.

Lune Street? LUNE Street?

Just had the same problem myself Jonny. It is safe to say wrapping isn't one of my talents.

Usually I am on sellotape duty while the mrs wraps up everyones presents but I found wrapping the wifes presents up fairly easy this year, mainly because they were all in square or rectangle boxes :grin:
