Bought mine a holiday - never buy 'stuff'. House is full of 'stuff'. . . . also, getting the AP 6 pots blasted, renewed and painted, with new bells, disks and pads - she'll love it. She didn't specifically ask for this, but I could tell that she's been thinking about this important piece of safety for a while now.

 

Bought this for the Mrs, very tidy wagon with a fcuked engine - best I get my finger out and rebuild the engine lol

As above but i have bought a wash basket as a surprise.

 

Sorry to hear that news, having been through something similar (only 8 years together) many many years ago it's tough but it'll get better, in fact mine did me a favour as I later married the woman I should have met and married the first time round it's bee 14 years happily married now.

You are right putting your son first get that right and the rest will follow ;-)

 

 

Not much this year. I've put a 50 quid limit on our presents.

2 years ago she had a pair of boots that cost £160. She didn't wear them as she didn't want to get them dirty.
Last year she had an expensive coat. That's never been worn outside either.

 

A big stupid buddha that she spotted in a antique shop so I went back and kept it at work for 5 months
Also cash as she has got everything so she can waste it in the sales on more clothes ,handbags and shoes for the west wing of her wardrobe

She hasn't even used the chainsaw I got for her birthday a few weeks ago
The logs are piling up in the shed so she needs to get her finger out otherwise we will run out of coal again

 

I was laughing when she said she wanted some perfume and wellie boots, thought it was going to be a cheap xmas for me (I am a right tight **** sometimes)


Over 100 quid for wellie boots now!? I wasn't laughing anymore when she showed me the ones she wanted. And the same for perfume, some black "Jo Malone" stuff, what a rip off.

 

Tell me about it! Last year the missus got some dubarrys. I'll let you google them to see how much they are!

This year I have been threatening to buy her a clowns outfit, as she has been a bit blonde lately. Yesterday she decided to put a plastic chopping board in the oven underneath the tray that she was cooking pork belly in. Today I am cleaning the oven! (Fooking expensive oven at that!)

 

Bought mine x2 tickets for the BDO darts world championship at Lakeside - she'd better ask me to go along with her.

 

I just get a list of things not to buy - "don't buy me perfume, or clothes, or sweets etc etc"

Annoys me in a way - as everyone else doesn't get this memo and buys all of the above - makes me look like a bit of a scrooge on Christmas Day with my feeble supply of offerings!!

 

I bought her a few things for her dolls houses, a tub of haribo and a candle.

We agreed a small limit for presents and then go on holiday in February

 

New kitchen, utility, and office.

 

sound like you are on a "promise"

good luck!! :-)

 

A new mobile phone that she really wanted (s6 edge) , a week after said purchase the good lady changed her mind . Now she has f**k all !

 

Some 1200's and a set of Alesis M1Mk2's.


Joking aside, pretty much nothing as we've just purchased a house which needs a new bathroom, so saving pennies for that.


Never been one to fork out loads, 50 quid max, both happy with that rule over the years.
