What to get the other halfs for Christmas..

Post by Nightcat » Mon Nov 21, 2005 1:16 pm

It's that time of year where you shop for gifts and I'm really clueless, you ask what they want and they just say 'no idea' - doh. Last year I opted out and just gave money and it went down as well as a wet fart in a space suit.

The Christmas times before that I've got widescreen tvs, dvd and such which I guess was really for me/home - so this year I have to break the mode of predictability >_<

Apparently if I decorate the bathroom then that would be good, but thats just a loaded suggestion - I know, you know if I do that then I'll be in serious jeopardy lol

I thought maybe a kitten but my dog would probably eat it, and kittens do tend to grow up and lose the cute factor - our last cat lived / lasted 24 years. :oops:

So what you getting your other halfs?

Well, we have until Christmas Eve to decide so no hurry

Good question ...

... if you´re caught in this kind of trap. :badgrin:

We´ve got three children, two cats, two cars and a flat which have to be paid ... so guess what!? After the gifts for the kids there´s simply no money left to buy anything for the other better half.

If there´d be only silence and patience been sold in bottles I was the first to get it. But asap!!! :lol: ;)

Good luck, NC! :)

Good question Nightcap, erm Nightcat!

Well! I have my wiff trained well or at least as well as one CAN train a wildcat.

I tell her to, "Go buy whatever you want."

Then, I go off and get ONE of whatever thing she is collecting that year; cows, Lilliput Lane house figurines, bears, Waterford crystal, etc. It works! One stop, not usually too expensive, boom, I'm back at home.


Best of luck,

Aye lad mine has already received a dishwater for Christmas. She's been complaining about washing dishes for years so I think all is well now. But I fear how she might now use all this free time she'll have, especially as it pertains to my free time. :-s

Rough plumbing is done. Electrical to do tonight. Had the hot water tank adjusted. Waiting for the cabinet, which I will have to assembly. Put it all together with the custom countertop I had to order at a different store. Oh yes this is much simpler than washing dishes by hand. :roll: :D

TS!

Buy her a...

Post by :FI:Fenian » Mon Nov 21, 2005 7:32 pm

weekend at a spa 100 miles away, and offer to include a few quid so that her best girlfriend can go too... but not all of it, obviously.

This does two things - makes her think you care about her well-being, and two, gives you a weekend to go on the beer with your mates like you used to.....

Present for the wiff.......I was thinking.....a muzzle.

Sorry I have deprived you chaps of a target for the past couple of outings-run up to Christmas is a true ball-ache in my line of work. See you soon, hopefully Wednesday.

I really love the idea of a weekend with my beer and some mates around the home... I hear poker night without the nagging! - really loving the way you think Fenian - its brilliant!

I have a million possible thoughts along those lines, I'll keep you posted :badgrin:

Hate nagging while playing poker!
