    Time to fish out that heavy weighted sellotape dispenser from the filing cabinet methinks. Worth every penny.
    Better still - be totally incompetent and get the missus to wrap them all. Those I do wrap (like hers) I don't need to label since she can tell from the crap wrapping that it is from me.

    They all used to laugh when I disappeared to wrap stuff as it took me ages to do half a dozen . I took my time and they still looked like the cat had been at them. Got out of it this year...bit of an extreme way of doing it though.... (see NHS vs Italian Health service thread)

    Me and the mrs both laughing at that. That video was me last week. Lol. I asked her where the dispenser was.
    Answer. "somewhere abart."
    4hrs later. her having wrapped 90% of the presents. Her with fingernails and teeth. Me fighting the bleeding stuff. Getting a piece off and it deciding to curl up.
    She pops in garage next day.
    " Guess what I've found" :mad::mad:
