Hello darlings :)I'd spent the last few hours with Dooey, in the library. As can be expected, we'd spent more time talking about random nonsense than on doing any real work.
Fortunately, the outcome of so much random nonsense is that we thought of a new idea, that may prove very useful. It is regarding birthdays and their accompanying celebratory pressies.
This year, the drift of matters is that we will be getting individual presents, instead of the ridiculously expensive ones with our usual giant pile of pooled money. This means a few things my dears:
1) We have to think harder about what to get - or if you want to listen to Liting, its more sincere.
2) There is no budget we have to adhere to.
3) We may get something grossly wrong, thus resulting in the birthday girl having to smile fake smiles and having to say fake thank-yous - all in all, a very uncomfortable situation. And considering how long we'd been friends, not very good to have happen.
I assume that most of us are familiar with SATC. But that is just assuming.
Anyway, does anyone remember about the registering of gifts? In short, this simply means having a list of potential gifts from where friends can choose which to get for you. There are a few merits to this system:
1) We know exactly what you want, and so cannot go grossly wrong with the presents.
2) You get exactly what you want, and won't have to smile fake smiles or say faux thank-yous.
So, what do you think? :)
We, on this blog, is wholly democratic. Therefore, anyone who is strongly against this idea, shall raise your opposition on the tagboard.
As I always like to say, let's take a poll! *grin*
