The perfume called Tramp which was popular in the seventies.

It was from my mother in law!

Vacuum cleaner bags. So dreadful that DH and I just laughed about it (they weren't from him).

"Mrs Beeton's Book of Home Management" from my husband for our 10th wedding anniversary.
He's now my ex.

I know this is a recurrent theme on Gransnet but I find it very interesting and amusing. Please indulge me.

My MIL gave me a really cheap salt and pepper set once for my birthday, the sort you used to find in greasy spoon cafes. She had been to stay and was cross because no matter how hard she shook the the salt or the pepper grinder nothing came out of the top.
