Felt kind of bad for my mum who bought me a nice and thoughtful gift for me for Christmas however I told her that I wanted to exchange it because it would have gone to waste. She got me a coffee machine which is great but it was a pod coffee machine. It was an expensive one as well, priced over $300. I drink a lot of coffee so she tried her best, but where she got it wrong is that I drink so much, that machine would have added $25 a week to my habits. I drink pod over her place but I dont particularly like the taste so much, it pales in comparison to what I do which is buy fresh beans and grind them. The pods cost so much as well and is highly uneconomical for my needs. I would easily go through 6 pods a day costing 60-80cents a pod, roughly costing me $30 a week, where I currently buy 250g of beans fir $8-$14 and lasts me a fortnight. Anyway I swapped the machine and got a digital camera with it instead. Ended up getting the Canon Powershot S120 and got a good deal on it for $350, lol @ JB $499 couldnt match price, when I called them. Fuck JB seriously. Its my first digital camera I have ever owned, never been a camera guy and it supports RAW format which was the main selling point for me, so hopefully I can deliver on some awesome photos and photoshop work in my future.

I thought you didn't get along with your Mum? I don't see anything wrong with the exchange. It's better that you've got something that you'll use rather than if you kept it, to not offend your Mum, and then it sits on the counter/in a cupboard doing nothing for extended periods. I prefer to receive cash/vouchers than gifts. People think it's thoughtless giving someone a voucher but I disagree. |

I get along with her perfectly fine. Its my dad that I havent seen for 17 years now. Went off and married a young Asian woman (pathetic) and has 2 more kids and actually fathers them. Im glad he is has no money for her to end up taking my percentages of his will. My mum agrees that its better i told her but still you kind of feel bad when they get it wrong. Im like you, gift vouchers are boss however it has to be a good store though or you end up having to spend your own money sometimes. I had the problem that she bought the coffee machine from Myers so I couldnt do a straight swap, I had to get her a refund and bought the camera elsewhere. If I was given a Myers or JB card, it would have been useless against my camera because they were charging $100-$150 more for it. |

Yeah that's an awkward position but you certainly did the best thing. Nothing worse than keeping a gift you don't want/need just to save someone a bit of face. Much better you got your camera ![]() I think I have the same skin as Bayloski... or that's a photo of my leg he put red on and reposted. Either way I get burnt but it almost alwayus clears up the next day. Yay. Blergh. Had Indian and then finished off the kids pizza tonight. Feel terrible now :S |

Sorry my mistake. I knew you didn't see one of them. Is that why you don't like Asian chicks ![]() Most Mums just want their sons to be happy so I'm sure it will be forgotten about quickly. I wish I had olive skin. You could probably cook an egg on my knee today. |

I'm a Pom though so I was born to be pastey. This is the second day photo. I can barely bend my knee. Hands are just as red. Neck maybe not as much. Lips feel rubbery. I do it at least twice a year, I never fuckin learn. I'm having Indian tonight. Did we merge and become one?? |

Christmas is always overrated, at least for me. I got some hoyts and jb gift cards, sportswear , calvin klein underwear (without fail I always get underwear or socks or both on Christmas, which I don't even need), Black XS (best aftershave ever), money and that's about it. Not the best haul but eh I can't complain. The money and gift cards will definitely go to good use. Anyways, yeah I'm sure people will post more in the next week or so. I haven't really had enough time to play games in the last 2 weeks which is depressing but hopefully I pick up the slack over the next 2 weeks. |

My haul this year was uh, interesting. I got a pair of thongs which I needed, and I specifically asked for some towels which I got which was nice, but certainly nothing to get excited over. Got some chocolates which I won't complain about. However, despite explicitly requesting no clothes (because I often won't like them or they won't fit) I received two shirts (one which I didn't like and one which didn't fit). Also, my somewhat out-of-it Nan decided it was a good idea to get me 4 pillow cases and 2 fitted sheets. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but let's just say I hope I'm not so out of touch when I'm 75 that I think it's a good idea to get my 22 year old grandson bedding supplies for Christmas. Especially since I went shopping for bedding right before I moved barely a month ago, so I certainly have zero need for sheets and pillow cases that don't match my other bedding. So yeah, a very boring / unwanted / unrequested haul for me this year. Good acting practice I guess. Edited by Doomguy, Dec 28 2013, 09:08 PM.

Oh well, think of the starving kids in Africa or some shit like that. I forgot I got thongs and an Adidas polo that is blue with pink on it. Not too impressed with the polo but the thongs Mum got me are like walking on a cloud and they're Nike so it ticks the boxes. |

Not a terribly interesting one for me, but I was happy with it. I actually get nervous now about receiving gifts as it could be something I might not like or already have or won't use or something. I'll just end up feeling bad about feeling that way and prefer if they ask what I want or give me money to go get something. This year I got a new pair of slippers because my old ones are getting gross. Totally fine with that. Also got the Bret Hart (wrestler) autobiography, because my mum had asked me what I wanted and the only thing I could think of was that, should be a great read too. There honestly has been little else that I wanted or needed this year. She had suggested getting me a nice casual shirt which I could do with but we just didn't have enough time to look for (we have been really damn busy the last couple of weeks for some reason). Also received a few t-shirts from my sister which is cool. One of them I may not wear so much but that's alright. One of them has a Star Wars poster print which is great. Also got some money. So nothing particularly exciting. but I'm happy with what I got. The idea of Christmas doesn't excite me anymore anyway so it doesn't matter what I get. Also for the first time ever, we didn't put a Christmas tree up this year, so busy we didn't really think of it. Felt kind of weird to be honest. Edited by Twisted, Dec 28 2013, 09:57 PM.
