23. �It was Christmas and I'd been going out with a girl for a couple of weeks, so we didn't know each other that well - but well enough though! You know what it's like buying presents for someone for the first time, it's quite worrying as you're always wondering whether you've done the right thing! Anyway. I'd spent quite a bit of time choosing her presents. I bought her a few things that she'd mentioned she liked and was really pleased with them! When it came to me opening my present, I was really excited. I ripped the paper off and found that she'd bought me a jumper. At first I thought, 'Lovely!', but then I saw it was navy with this red and yellow stripe across it. I really couldn't believe it - it was horrible! The worst thing was though, that I knew it wasn't cheap - she'd spent quite a bit of money on it and I really didn't like it! She'd made me open it in front of her and I just didn't know where to look. I don't think she saw me, though I must have looked quite shocked at first But quick as you like, I just grinned and said 'Thank you'. I never ever wore it, but she never knew as I broke it off with her a week later! Not 'cause of the jumper, but it was obvious that we weren't suited! Ooh, I'll never forget it, it was awful!"
