This morning I was upset having only received a card but no present from either DH,DD or DS. I wanted to go in guns blazing about how hurt and disappointed I was. Then I read a thread posted about a little rhyme saying not everyone is my enemy so don't fight them.
I'm so glad I didn't say anything as after lunch we walked around to our sons home and they asked me to get something out of the garage. DD and family were there as well.
All the family followed me outside. I went in the garage and there was a brand new Mini in bright red. I have never had my own car.
They all started to cheer as this was my present from them all. It's also part birthday as well. I'm so happy.

In that case Seakay you will be pleased to hear that I have
not reported any unpleasant posts directed at me.
Now, perhaps you will heed what Natasha Gransnet has said in her above post.

What does it matter what the gift was. The love Nanawind's family are showing her by clubbing together to get her something she has obviously dreamed of having and thought it would always be just a dream, the love and care her family is showing her makes her a rich woman, no matter what she has received.

We have done something similar at a lower level for our DGD, There is something she would love to have, but knows it is too expensive for her parents to buy, so we clubbed together as a family to buy it. She won't get it until Thursday when she and her family arrive at our house, but I am already excited about her reaction

I once knew someone who put her clapped-out banger into a garage for service & MOT.
When she went back for it, she was given the keys to a new (second-hand) car of the same make.
All arranged by her friends & family! I was so happy for her too.

Just had the most wonderful Christmas here in Marrakech. I wanted something completely different as it has been a difficult few years for us. Lost Dad in Jan this year & Mum Jan last year. So DH & DS (who lives in Sweden)
met up here on the 22nd. On Christmas Day we went to a Hammam & then had a massage - wonderful. No stress, no turkey. Back to Blighty on Saturday with great memories

I am so happy for you but SO happy for your family! To be in a position to be able to show their love and appreciation for you with such a luxury gift must have been joyful for them (as well as you, of course). Enjoy it and the freedom it will bring, drive carefully so that they never regret their great present to you. Your family will get as much enjoyment from the memory as you will over the years, believe me.
