Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I never give James teacher chocolates cos I know just how many she will get. Christmas I sent in a couple of bottles of wine - just what you need at the end of term. Summer I'll send in some home grown veggies and fresh eggs.

The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 We did the same too Pengy - there seems to be a competition here amongst the parents to see who can provide the most elaborate present; inappropriate I feel - we gave homemade goodies in a 'newspaper bag' They will love your goodies.

Egluntyne Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Him Indoors was given loads of boxes of Thorntons Continental. Not much use as he's a diabetic. We recycled some and i made the ultimate sacrifice and ate the rest. Claret chuck.....could you post another link to your newspaper bags please? I had already got my wrapping paper at Christmas, but want to be prepared for this year. Ta muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 We did the same too Pengy - there seems to be a competition here amongst the parents to see who can provide the most elaborate present; Just in case any of my students are reading this - highly unlikely considering - at the end of the Spring term i would like a TVR sports car, champagne, diamonds, a life times supply of G&B, flowers, a country estate, 6 sheep, 3 donkeys and a bottle of Ecover washing up liquid!

Jules. Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Please don't report me to social services but my Nana always gets us some kind of liquer chocolates- this year it was Teachers whisky ones. Alexander was curious when I told him you have to be 16 (I think) to buy them in the shops, & he wanted to try one. I did warn him, & had a glass of water ready for him after he had bit the chocolate in half....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riane Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Right I've sorted it. I'm going onto the 2nd layer of the dairy box having chopped up some of left overs of the first layer and mixed them with ice cream and poured myself a generous vodka and dropped the remains of the first layer in. cheers....now where are the soft centres.
