Lol she was quiet happy to buy me the MM but wasn't so happy when she realised it was without electrics and soon worked out that things weren't quiet as budget as they appeared lol   |
I made a "deal" with the misses years ago, after years of receiving ties and shirts I didn't want for Xmas - after she assumed it her duty to inform me what
I wanted - that one year I purchased a vacuum cleaner and put it under the tree with a big red bow on it. Xmas morning, as the family trooped down the stairs and the look on her face started turning to one of gloom (and thoughts of me sleeping in the dog house), I said, "sweetheart, I'm guessing you're going to enjoy that as much as I'm going to enjoy what's in that box over there with my name on it - so let's call a truce, and in future years ask each other what we really want."
"Done" she said.
Since then our wish lists are posted on the fridge by September of each year, birthdays two months in advance. Works like a charm.
