Jeanette Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I got some money, season 5 of One Tree Hill, perfume, socks, pyjamas, a new purse, a fancy pen (because apparently now that I'm a professional I need a real pen), a new bag, make up, some usual bits and bobs and the stocking fillers of a toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo. I actually love that part the most, because it's always needed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wait its got boxers in it... Golf balls! No wait its for boxers in it... Tennis balls... No wait its got boxers in it. Ibuprofen... (honestly...) No wait its got boxers in it... etc"Was funny as hell for the rest of us... He wasnt best pleased =Px Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
