Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Anything to do with "kitchen or cleaning" should be a no go area in the gifts department. Maybe some new clothes in the sales would go down nice & you cold go with your wife (& Pay ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Bubblewrap, I agree now on the choice of surprise present l bought her but trawling around the sales for clothes is not for me, I would wait in the pub for her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie 39 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 My wife and l had a chat over breakfast and it has been decided not to replace the faulty steam cleaner but request a full refund. I will then buy her a late christmas present, l wonder if she would fancy a new lawn mower! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Over the last few years, I've bought mine a sanding mouse, secateurs, pruning saw, strimmer, hedge trimmers and industrial gloves. If ever I get on the wrong side of her, I fear she'll be using them all on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 A couple of Christmases ago, one of my wife's friends husband got her an ironing board. He didn't even wrap it up nicely, just said her present was in the garage. The divorce should be final in the Spring ( seriously ). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Robbie, it's not so much the romance in the choice of a steam cleaner, more so the fact that you made her have a go at cleaning the kitchen floor on Christmas Day to find out it was faulty!!
