D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 She's getting a gin set, pyjamas, vouchers for various women's clothing outlets and I usually get her a nicely decorated box with ribbons and such and cram it with with bath stuff and wee make up bits and pieces and so on which she likes. In return I'll receive alcohol, a nice fresh pair of Adidas and something Hibs related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where this idea that Christmas presents were part of a transaction for sex came from. I'll get my wife something that will a) make her happy and b) prevent her from giving me festive gyp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what these are. Go into a shoe shop and ask for a pair in her size. The teenager behind the desk brings me these fluffy boots and charges me £30. I am well chuffed - she had been dropping hints like mad about these, and they were just £30. Christmas is sorted! Christmas morning comes and she opens the box containing a pair of fluffy ankle length slippers. These are not Ugg Boots apparently. There commenced a lengthy diatribe about me, my "stinginess", full of colourful language. She was very creative and didn't even pause for breath. My responses of "But the guy in the shop said..." cut no ice. It was a bad day all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can find an envelope on Christmas Eve that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the giving that's the important part, I don't want anything in return. That's where me and you are different. However, last year I got, not one, but two car hoovers from her. I didn't speak to her until about a week ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in the back of the cupboard where I chucked them. Even better, the house hoover detaches and has a flex long enough to vacuum the M8. I'm not stuck for alternatives in the car hoovering department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser_soze Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A new pair of Premier Equine yard boots for when she is at the horse stables, apparently I 'bought' them for her last month. I'll wrap a new ironing board cover as a stocking filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a way to live your life. Middle age sounds grim. Incredibly grim, but to be expected from the crylaugh-emoji miserabilist and his predator drone repair man sidekick. Imagine wanting to partake in a cultural practice that has lasted thousands of years in European society to celebrate the winter solstice on a freezing, 18 hour dark rock, and do something nice for your partner into the bargain. Fortunately it is very clear from the transactional nature they apply to it that neither of these men have had regular sexual intercourse in quite some time. Sad! Anyway, getting my fiance a nice pair of earrings she fancies for the wedding, a book she'll like, a candle and a couple of other stocking bits. Quite the decadent mating ritual 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
