Mines been dropping hints about clothes and shoes and shiit. I don't even know where the shops are, so I'll give her some wedge to get what she wants herself. If I was to attempt shopping, I'd get it all wrong anyway.

I know what I'm getting from her...feck all.  :rolleyes:

the sexy outfit thing is on the list along with a few toys  :smug:
she can't drive for sh1t so there's no way i'm letting her near an expensive car  :grin:
dvd's, music and books are out as it's all streamed or read on a kindle  :nerd:
we have a dyson so hoover bags are off limits  :laugh:
she ain't getting clothes or handbags until she gets rid of the stuff she doesn't use anymore as i'm sure we have a whole wardrobe full of stuff that doesn't get used or worn  :rolleyes:

i was thinking about a weekend in edinburgh as she's on about seeing the bloody panda's that just rocked up, but the reviews say the zoo is otherwise a pile of sh1te apart from the penguins.

If you're after shoes do not use Barratts as it may have cost me near on £100 :( as they've gone bust. Also if you're thinking of underwear:

Paid through Paypal so hopefully they'll refund me and chase Barratts.  I've just ordered another pair through a different company. :(

If both turn up I'll have to send the one back, £200 for a pair of boots  :sad: :sad: :sad:

Na, cheaper version, Just Sheepskin, still £100 a throw! I would not pay £160 for some UGGS. I went with Barratts as it's name I see on the highs treet etc, I should have gone with a less known internet retailer. Just ordered them direct from Just Sheepskin!

If she's anything like my girlfriend, get her a years subscription to cosmopolitan for £25 and the complete boxset of sex and the city from tesco, half price at £20, that will give you peace and quiet to do what you like for a while, as if she's not got her nose in cosmo then she'll be watching sex and the city over and over again. magazine subscription, 25 pounds, dvd boxset, 20 pounds. peace and quiet from the missus, priceless. :wink:

WHAT!?!? Why?? The more time women spend doing that rubbish the less time they have to make our lives hell by telling us we're wrong, that we screwed something up, that we don't pay enough attention to them or that we spend too much time with our mates.  :grin: that's got to be a good thing. no?

If I moan about spending over £130 on a pair of boots for her Xmas pressie then all she would come back with is Oh but you can spend hundreds on silly things for that car of yours  :evil:

My response would be yes and i can also spend 59p on a roll of gaffa tape to tape your mouth up  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:
