Well, we didn't have to go to the Pig Show thing, thank God. I only like pigs if they are used to eat up human remains, and then only if they are in the care of a Chinese dude whose knowledge of the English language consists solely of the word "cocksucker

Have you tried Freecycle for sofas? They're the sort of thing that people do tend to just want rid of when they want a new one (which is why I'm currently happily lounging on my free two piece suite - came from a friend of my great aunt's whose mother died and was doing the house clearance)

I didn't realise there were Freecycle groups for the UK. I've just signed up, thanks for the tip!

It is a wonderful thing! Though you do have to be quick.

It is indeed a normal parental thing.

Still, at least you got tea at Betty's. Any day which involves a meal at Betty's is good.

I had ginger cake too, it was awesome!

My mom is bad about buying me random crap that she thinks I'd want. I've been working for years to get her to stop and still haven't quite made it. I started early on my holiday gift request, though: I've already been telling every one in my family, repeatedly, that I do not want anything except a small spinning wheel. I hope that they are actually paying attention.

If they're anything like mine, I bet you end up with an outsized makeup kit that contains seventeen different shades of eyeshadow, none of which suit you.
