How I hate present wrapping! I have just spent at least 20 minutes of the wrapping job trying to find the end of the selotape; and watching the darned stuff split lengthwise and result in a microscopic tail end to find. I even have a dispenser, but still it happens! Grrr!
My mum's next door neighbour was grumbling because his wife had bought him a wheelbarrow and had asked him to bring it into the house so that she could gift wrap it! First of all, I wouldn't be exactly overjoyed to receive such a gift and secondly, what would be the point of wrapping it? I wondered if he had to feign surprise and jubilation when he opened it.
