...Up on the Downs

I think I have just received my worst ever chrimble present....a blue shiny gift pack consisting of a bottle of babycham, a babycham glass and a blue babycham christmas bauble!

Ah well, I wasn't expecting anything, I'd better go get her some choccies or a poinsettia, she's quite elderly....

I might make my brother drink it in a 'blind tasting'....

What do you dread receiving??

I'd love that!

Babycham reminds me of my gran - she used to give me a bottle every Christmas in the glass with Bambi on it

I like Babycham. My nan had round Babycham glasses from the 70's that looked like those champagne glasses you see in old films

Anyway....Bath sets. I have enough Bubblebath to keep me clean for at least a year.

I remember visiting elderly relatives when I was about six. They'd bought a four pack of babycham for us babies!

My sister didn't like it so I drank all four.

I was a bit wobbly as we walked home

There isn't a Lush near me, sadly, the closest one is about an hour away in York.

I once got two wood carvings from my gran that were literally two small rectangular bits of wood with a robin shape stuck out a little. No detail but blatantly handmade by a short sighted one armed joiner.

Why did you open it before Christmas day?

I hate receiving things that I won't ever wear/use.

a quandary, could you change my mind?

Am waiting for yet another fleece jumper, I get one or two on Christmas, none are comfortable or keep the wind out, I feel that I am being ungrateful but off to the charity shops they go.

Any novelty stocking filler - it's probably only going in the bin so it's really not worth the money.

I nearly bought babycham today just for a stroll down memory lane, this was always bought for the grandchildren at Christmas in my Gran and Gramps house, I'm not entirely sure how old i was when I used to drink this but certainly less than 9, what great fun the 80's were
