    Was that from your other half? Maybe it's a hint that you're not trying hard enough to be a millionaire.

          Vouchers from Zavvi, Whittards and USC.

          I didn't get any of them.

            Ex-recruitment bod... maybe that says it all?

            My gran got me some white socks. Not entirely sure what I'm meant to do with them.

            Yes, yes, I know "wear them", but seriously.... white socks??

              Twenty years ago you would have got knocked back trying to get into any of the clubs in this fair city wearing white socks. Not sure if this is still the case.

                  I'm far from a literary aficionado, but this book in a similar vein is highly amusing. Not many get-rich-quick books start off by detailing a million and 1 reasons why you shouldn't get rich (divorce, envy, security, etc etc.)

                    It's taken me a while to calm down after receiving this present:

                    Matalan tie and cufflinks set, in a presentation box.

                    It is without doubt quite the most offensive tie I've ever seen.

                    Not even a tie clip with it.

                    Shall I save it and return it to that special person for next xmas, or get with the spirit and just give it to the charity shop now to inflict it on some poor unfortunate in Africa?
