I remember when I was relocating to another part of the country and my OH was going to follow me when he was made redundant. I moved first and rented a house. I was really looking forward to buying a Dyson, as I had wanted one. My OH then turned up with a present of a Henry. I was secretly really pissed off as I had the perfect opportunity to get the Dyson and that was taken away from me.
And yes, I know I sound ungrateful. This was one of those things I accepted graciously and did not make a big deal of it or throw it in his face. I thanked him and to this day, I still have the Henry. |

Our local radio is reporting about a man who has bought his OH a week at a weight reduction boot camp for a surprise Christmas present. She is constantly commenting that she needs to lose a few pounds
The consensus of opinion on the radio is that this relationship is doomed, what do you thinl |

I laugh at TV ads that suggest you buy the missus a new vacuum cleaner, or dishwasher, or washing machine for Xmas. If I did that, my wife would throw me out - with the present being hurled at my departing head!

A few years ago, my granny - the same one who's convinced I'm called Emma - got me an Arsenal calendar.
Not really a great idea when you support Manchester United. |

Not so much unwelcome, just a bit naff - my bf got me a pair of fluffy slippers once. I didn't want to be ungrateful so I thanked him but my face must've given away my true feelings. He later remarked that I seemed underwhelmed with my gift and I was like "Well....it was SLIPPERS!". I couldn't help myself. He seemed genuinely baffled. Apparently, because I always complain of having cold feet he thought they'd be really useful. Bless him. I felt bad and still have the slippers. They're very comfy.
An ex once got me a foot spa. I'd never expressed any interest in owning one. I used it a couple of times and then it gathered dust in the corner of my room. What is it with men and feet! |
