What are men like!!!

[abilicious]

Mr abilicious asked me what I would like for my birthday. I told him (a) a handbag - showed him the one ont' web - (b) a silver bangle - told him which shop and where - or(c) an i-tunes gift card. He got me (a) a pair of Birkos and (b) a set of speakers for my car (a second set!). Bless!

[sn�gs]

He did in fact get the handbag... but fancied it for himself...

You should be grateful for what you got.

i asked Mr CRX to pop out and get a birthday cake for little CRX to take to nursery l;ast week.
He came back with 12 cheap fairy cakes and a huge remote controlled car that does 40km/h, supposedly for our 4 year olds.

Never buy mrs sqad birthday presents, mrs sqad never buys me birthday presents. Bl00dy stupid idea in my opinion.

Wish you were married to me. I ask my missus what she wants and it's:

"Nothing" or "I don't know" or "Don't bother yourself" or "How would I know?"
Like trying to get blood out of a stone!

Then I get her something and...guess what? "Is that the best you could do? Bet that didn't cost much!"

grrrrrrrrrrrrr....steam coming out of the ears......aaaaggghhhh!!

[abilicious]

Mr A did say 'If you want another handbag that much, go and get it, and I'll wrap it up!'

[cazzz1975]

men are normally rubbish at buying handbags ect, I would imagine he didnt because he was scared of getting the wrong one

My dad bought my mum and iron for their first anniversary. She told me she felt like cracking him over the head with it.

One year My Dad got my Mum a pressure cooker for her Birthday... seriously...

The hole it made in the kitchen door was quite impressive...

[abilicious]

I'd love to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I had even shown him the exact h/b on the website ...

To be fair, he's really enjoyed fitting the speakers, and he can tell the difference in sound from the original ones. Sadly for me, Paul Weller in quadrophonic glory still sounds as whiny as he did in stereo ...

I was given a lawnmower for OUR wedding anniversary. OH hasn't used it yet tho lol

[4getmenot]

ha ha go and wrap it. sounds like my bloke. We dont buy for eachother as I find it pointless like squad we just go out and have a day shopping together, but I do like to get a card. On my bday when I asked where my card was he said 'oh I;ve ordered it in from tesco, should be there when we go food shopping!!

My Wife bought me 2 Ties for Xmas,a Red one and a Blue one. I put the Red one on for Xmas day,she said ,what's wrong do you not like the Blue one.!! Men can never win!!

Your post reminded me of a funny event as I read "birkos" as "birkin" as in handbag.

On GMTV last week the fashion advisor was talking about Victoria Beckhams birkin collection and Ben (the presenter) misheard him and blurted out "her merkin collection?!"

That made me chortle.

Happy birthday all the same.

For my 21st birthday my ex-husband bought me a perfume I'd never heard of. When I asked him why this particular one he said it was the most expensive in the shop.......see training does help.....

[craft1948]

[4getmenot]
