What Now?
Posted December 23rd, 2009 at 3:51PM
I have been rushing round today buying the last of my prezzies.
I went into the city to get gifts for one of my best friends.
She's taking a trip of a lifetime to Japan in the New Year and is very excited about it.
I bought her lots of little things - all with a Japanese theme.
A Japanese doll and a beautiful book of Japanese fairy tales and myths
I have just been wrapping them and felt that warm cosy glow you get when you know you have bought something a person will just LOVE!
Just been boasting to a mutual friend about all the trouble I have taken
H'mmm .. the friend has reminded me she is going to CHINA!! 
-
Well it's ok coz it's close'ishy
-
Thanks Ziggy that is very reassuring!
-
Oh no!! Thats kinda funny, but Oh no!!
-
There's a advert on this page at the moment for a japenese dating site,
Anyway it's the thought what counts. -
I was all chuffed with myself..now I feel quite deflated
* Goes to look for the sherry * -
Oooh .. thanks Wilmaa
* unwraps doll to see* -
That very comforting of you Wilma but we all know they was made in Taiwan.
-
* Pours herself a large glass of sherry *
-
I went to the most chic stores in town !!!!
-
Even the sherry glasses ?
-
I dont like these back to front comments!
I keep changing thingy back and it returns to latest!
: ( -
Hahahaha...this cracks me up! Yes, it's the thought that counts...even when it's the wrong thought!
I'm sure your friend will love the mix-up. -
She has got a great sense of humour , I just feel mad at myself
-
Aww maybe a little more sherry and then both of you can laugh...hey if a friend of mine did this I'd love them even more...for the thoughtful gifts and the laughs! :D
-
awe... right the thought that counts..felt good for the moment! such a thoughtful friend so sweet of u! ~xoxo~Sending U and Ur family wishes for a Merry Holiday season!! and ur loving dog too!My goodness LOL 2010 seems hard to believe! :--)) all U wish comes true!!
-
Thanks folks. H'mm , Yes, I can see my friend dining out on this story for years to come ..
It is just that I long for a cooler image ;( -
I love this story and I love that you are able to laugh at it. lol
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! -
Thank you mewold only I am not laughing. I am staring at my beautifully wrapped with love friend's Japanese prezzies and a big salty disappointed tear is rolling down my face ...
Oh ok , I can see the funny side ... a bit! -
You could explain it's just in case the pilot gets lost.
I seem to recall a story about paying more attention. Hmmmm -
YEAH AGREE THAT'S FUNNY BUT ERM..SAD? SOLUTION COULD BE TO SUGGEST SHE COULD GO TO JAPAN NEXT YEAR?
-
LOL!! That's cute! maybe you will inspire her next trip!
-
Stop trying to butter it all up! she dropped a right balls up clanger but what can you expect at the age of 70+ it's the marbles warbling in her head.
-
It looks like tisbint as run out of words
-
When is Tasmin leaving for Japan?
-
That made me laugh.... I am sorry for laughing but that right there is funny no matter who you are. Better luck next time in your gift giving. I'd have gone with practical travel gifts to be safe. These things happen to everyone.
-
Just tell your friend you are so excited she is going to Japan and the gifts represent a possible location for a future trip. Thought you might like info on Japan for your next trip. Cute story. She might have wondered why you bought her stuff for a place she is visiting and will prolly bring stuff back.
-
I meant China. Pls don't cry it's the thought that count. Do you have time to return the gifts and get chinese stuff. Or get chinese stuff and then return the japanese stuff so you won't feel rushed.!!!
-
Its ok, she found it funny
I am keeping the Japanese fairytale and myths book, it's lovely
I have just ordered her a dvd on China! -
May be it is a good thing that you bought presents about Japan and not China. Surely she could have found all she wanted in Japan (if that was where she was going to) while now you have given her just the idea for her next big holiday!
-
This is a bit late cuz your best friend has left already. But let me just say that this is just too funny. =)
Made my hectic day a little refreshing. Thanks!
When she comes back, go treat yourselves to a good Chinese restaurant. Ya gotta love dimsum!
