    Well its that time of year where you really wish you'd actually at some point over the course of the last year listened to anything that ya Mrs says.

    As I literally have no idea what to buy her as i dont actually think i ever listen to anything she has to say.


    The stress of the buying of presents I find ruins my christmas experience as I have spent the last 4 weeks thinking i really should start thinking about what to buy people for christmas without actually thinking about what to actually buy people for christmas. So now I'm borderline stressed as what to buy her and indeed other members of my family..

    Personally I hate blokes who are ultra organised and thoughtful over their presents as they give the rest of us real men a bad name.. My mate for instance does things like you see in films, where he knows their favourite book from when they were a child and seeks out an antique version of it... the soft c unt.. Its no wonder he cant keep a bird as he tries too hard..


    So folks any suggestions as to the s hite presents you plan on buying people or have indeed bought will be greatly appreciated... <ok>

    We've already agreed to not buy each other presents and spend more on food and drink, mostly drink.
    Sorted.

    you do realise you'll wake up xmas morning and she'll have gotten something for you? then she'll have a face like a slapped arse when you tell her she hasn't got anything. dangerous game to not get anything.

    get her something anyway and keep the recepit, and if she sticks to her word, then take it back without letting her know you've got it, and get your money back :)

    You are so naive.

    "Stopmeandslapmesnuggums...you know how we said that we wouldn't get each other anything.....well....I just saw this little thing and I had to get you it because I wuv you and I wanted to show you just how much I wuv you"

    "Erm...snookums....I didn't get you anything".

    "That is ok Clive" (lady translate= **** YOU YOU ****ING TWAT)

    That's a low and downright sneaky trick - I've been caught out with this in the past.

    They're f uckers... I am singularly the most unthoughtful unromantic person I know. My mrs is slightly obsessed with the smell of clean clothes.. so i was thinking buy her a massive bottle of Lenor. Her hairdryer is broke so a new one of those. and she doesnt own a tumble dryer so get one of those and enable her to utilise the lenor, the washing machine i bought her this year... How is that not thoughtful

    Hmmm, maybe I better get her a small present just in case.
    What do you get a woman who's got 20 handbags and enough clothes to fill a skip?

    Yep <ok>

    Also, if the jewellery is related to something she likes (if her name starts with B, get her one of those silver bee necklaces) and, bizarrely, they count this as thoughtful.

    I tried the thoughtful route a few years ago with my ex fiance... I worked out her birth stone, thankfully it wasnt a ruby or emerald as I wouldnt have bothered.. It was an opal so bought her a nice opal ring an she hated it.. The look of abjest disappointment / disgust on her face was asounding... Needless to say the next christmas I made a point of buying her tat s hitty clothes from Primark to make a point... Needless to say we split up that Christmas <laugh>
