Please can you make the cr&p go away!!!!!
I have got a toy frog on my bed, I like frogs see, and have done since childhood. Apart from the aforementioned toy frog on the bed, I have a frog pendant around my neck.
From that information a well meaning friend of the family who has a god given knack of finding useful things in rubbish skips, jumble sales, boot fairs or simply dumped on the side of the pavement, has bestowed me with all manner of froggy paraphenalia from around the county! When it started, it was ok, as he presented me with a few quite nice tasteful ornaments in the shape of frogs and strategically placed around my flat, they look quite nice. However, the joke's well and truly over now. I don't know whether this is luck or judgement..but the last umpteen items he has foisted upon me have been horrendous! I came in from work late one evening and as the light was on the front room I didn't turn the hallway light on, if I had I would have noticed a humungus stone frog sitting at the top of my stairs and I wouldn't have tripped over it and bashed my shin! Ouch! More recently I returned home from work, and this time I wish I'd left the light off, 'cause sitting on the shelf in my hallway alongside my very nice metal sculpture of a couple dancing and a dainty tea light holder was this acid green pile of cartoon frogs with goggly eyes, it was clearly a moneybox in its day due to the slit in the top, the bung at the bottom however was missing, so pretty useless in all, not only that it wasn't in the best of condition either! I have had enough!!!!!!!
It's not that he lets himself in, but when he comes round to visit OH on his days off, he'll tend to leave something awful like this behind. I've been throwing most of it out tbh, but somewhere where it can't be found and returned to me!
I know, I know it's the thought that counts...but why do people think that other people want their houses full of crap and clutter! We were off on holiday recently and he overheard me talking to OH about buying some new luggage, he cut in and said don't bother I found this wonderful case I'll bring it round, I said no don't worry, you keep it, you found it...he said look when do I ever go on holiday? and of course next time he arrived he was armed with this scuzzy looking case, that I'd be too frightened to open....I bunged it up in the loft and went out and bought a decent set of luggage.
Is it just me this happens to?
