Presents

[Fugitive]

Grandson texts me from bookshop 'Does Mum like Paul Hollywood?'

Tell him 'Most women like Paul Hollywood but please don't buy her a book on baking!'

Daughter runs an artisan bakers and is surrounded with bread and cakes all week!

Tell him 'She never buys herself treats so get her something warm, soft, fluffy, edible, scented'

See him on Sunday and he tells me 'Got her the Paul Hollywood book and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Minute Meals'

Clueless! He got her books when she's a Kindle Freak and books so that she can bake and cook nice things for him! Especially bad as she has gone right off Jamie since his endless Fifteen Minute Meals TV programme.

He's gonna be the kinda bloke who buys his missus a new steam iron for her birthday so she can iron his shirts better!

Clueless!!

The first Christmas we were married, a week before Christmas I spied a wok-shaped pressie under the tree! "That had better not be what it looks like!" I cried in a hurt and horrified voice! The next day it turned into a lingerie-shaped pressie! They didn't fit (in fact the wok would have fit better!) but it's the thought that counts....................

Oh dear

My eldest once bought me a lovely vase found out that his then girl-friend chose it.

He'd wanted to buy me (another) spice-rack

Jeez I need specs!!

I thought it said a 'work' shaped pressie and thought oh a bag!
What's she moaning at that for?!

[Fugitive]

Puppy's Privates to the' thought that counts'

Laughing at the Wok would have been better and yet another spice rack!

I always remember one Christmas OH gave me a present shaped like a leather purse.
I was furious as i expected perfume or something luxurious.
I told him what to do with the purse.
He said ok and gave it to his Mum with the £50 still inside!!!!!
I have never moaned since.

John thought he'd done really well one year. Months before Christmas I'd mentioned how I love looking at the stars on clear nights...and to prove he listens he bought me a telescope, quite a fancy one at that. On Christmas night he set it up in the bedroom window whilst I watched Eastenders, and he found Saturn (eventually) and shouted for me. It looked lovely, and then I went back to watch TV. Boxing Night he set it up again, found something else, I looked and that was the end of my stargazing career.
I just didn't have the patience with focusing and changing lenses.
