A gift received on New Years Eve from Jax’s stepfather.
I think this one has the lot, tasteless, ugly and lethal. Still, it’s the thought that counts…
The fat bloke in the pic is also a dead ringer for said stepfather if he let his beard grow a bit.
Do I win? Damn, I so wanted to get shot of that cow egg timer.

I thought it WAS a picture of J’s stepfather! Giving someone a (presumably freebie) packet of fags probably wins. Well done!
We are still discussing the picture.
the girls got some christmas themed sweets, and the packet clearly said ‘contains gelatin [beef]’. fairly rubbish for vegetarians!
And they don’t seem to like them anyway. Leastways, not BB
yep, packet of ciggies definitely wins! You get to keep the timer 😆
Hmm. You could be right, T-bird.
T-bird, when is your birthday?
Congratulations Tim, an excellent winner. (breathes sigh of relief)
Toxic sweets for kids should rank fairly high on the rubbish meter, I think we should have a vote.
Tim – birthday is on a need to know basis….. why do you need to know exactly??? (mind you, if I tell you hten at least one person of that name may actually remember it….)
Jax – nope sorry, beef gelatine may not be aproved fair for vegetarians but it’s not strictly toxic (although I’m not making any guarantees on palatability either!) The timer stays with you (and me an Jan can breath easy 😆 )
Just thinking about getting your birthday present back in its box…
blows razberry in Tim’s direction…. although…. birthday pressie I don’t have to buy for myself? Interesting notion you know! I’ll swap you for the blue light and siren alarm clock!
no, you won’t.
Hmm, I’ve been saying I need a new alarm clock. 😐
Okay Jax, just for you then I’ll dispose of the alarm clock elsewhere…..
Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
