Christ knows how we will get on come Xmas day. something like this (re-enactment): Edited December 22, 2019 by KingRocketman II 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dosser-fae-the-shire 487 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 Herself is bit of a spoilt git when it comes to Chirstmas & Birthdays. It stems from her Mother, who has the most unrealistic view of these events. Anyway I used to always buy her a trip somewhere, or an activity to do. She has a bucket list, so I used to just pick something off it and get it for her. A couple years back I decided to get her a gift instead, so got her a print that I knew she loved. She opened it, looked at it, and just put it on the floor and expected her "Big Present". When I told her that the print was her main present she got a bit huffy, before her Dad told her to stop being a p***k. So for Christmas this year, we decided we would not spend more than £50 on each other. I have gone over the budget considerably, however my plan of action is as follows. Give her three presents to the value of about £50 on Christmas morning at our house. She will of course expect the "others", I will reiterate that we agreed a £50 budget and that's what the items have come to. Most likely she will have bit of a heads gone, and say I don't love her or something similar. We will then drive to her parents in silence. As she starts opening her presents from her folk, I will nip upstairs where I have all her other presents (had everything sent to her folks, and went over to wrap them the other day) and take them down. I will make a point of calling her out for having a little bitch fit, before giving her the gifts. Boxing day will come, and within twenty minutes of the Edinburgh derby kicking off, she will have a go at me, "You're not sitting there all day watching football", it will be at that point I will remind her of her antics the day before. I will then be left in peace for the rest of the day. Life really shouldn't be this bloody difficult. I don’t want to be harsh but your wife appears to be a complete c**t. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksgranda 11,415 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 @LondonHMFC - were you the guy who had the chance of moving job - back to Edinburgh? - but she also has a good job in London, and you weren't sure what to do? Just move, is my advice, and she either comes with you or stays behind. (And if it is not you, just move anyway). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mizfit 2,426 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 Asked I pick her and her pal up and drop her pal off after their night out. Her pal lives in Crieff and I didn’t realise until she was in the car and said she was now there. 30 minute round trip. I hope she’s prepared for me making an absolute c**t of it when I next come in from a night out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess LHMFC would never end an e-mail with “Regards, Thanks, Many thanks, Gemma.”It would be more like .......“Sorry Cüntos, due to lazy b*****d delivery drivers there’s no milk today so could one of the office drones nip out and get a few jugs........and grab me a yumyum and a Twix while you’re at it.Princess” ETA - Gem lives in Brighton, doesn’t she ? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MixuFruit 12,619 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 They're maybe still relatively young, I think the reaction comes from most of us being in our 30s to 50s and not giving two fucks about presents anymore. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other stuff are things that may or may not happen on Wednesday, she’s hardly Maggie Thatcher ffs. I told my wife the story, she does not see what Mrs LondonHMFC has done wrong. Her thoughts are that he is a conniving c**t and has made a rod for his own back. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
