I once bought my wife a new ironing board for Christmas. She should never have complained about the one that I made her out of pallet wood!
I once bought mine a deep fat fryer. I thought she'd be delighted with it on Christmas morning. Similar reaction to the vacuum cleaner I bought her the year before.
 
Got threw under the bus by the fat twat in his grotto..
my son wanted some football kits for xmas, Haaland kit specifically ( let him off hes only 5 and already has city kits <laugh> )
anyway, yesterday santa asked him what he wanted, he said football kit.
then instead of just saying ok, there where follow up questions!!! my son goes a bit shy, you wanted Haaland i think you said didnt you son?...
Nah, Real Madrid ..............i give Santa a glare to indicate postage times for the cheap dodgy kits will not allow a Real Madrid kit now.........nudge him back towards Haaland you fat prick!................oh no problem says Santa i wil make a note!
what a ****, quick search online for cheap options within postage times , few and far between, plenty of full price 50/60 quid kits about though.
fuming!

Probably sold out now.

Man City kits, Real Madrid kits, mmmm. I have very proudly bought my two and half year old Grandson his first football kit for Christmas, Hull City first team shirt and shorts in infant size, £48, and I'll have a tear in my eye when I see him in them on Christmas Day.

My grandson’s first City kit cost me a fortune. Drove over from Brid and got caught by a speed camera just over the limit going past the cemetery on Spring Bank. Found out later that it was the only operational speed camera in Hull that day.

I blame the parents.

Cityzen in driving fast past a cemetery shock, not.
 
Rumour has it you were born old, I, of course, couldn't possibly comment.
Wise beyond his years is the phrase I think you are struggling to recall.

My wife would differ as she wants to know when I will grow up especially when it comes to football and beer. I tell her there is plenty of time when I am a bit older.
