    I don't have the receipt - he does, and he would go mental if I flogged it. Even with a drama degree, I think I've not managed to convince him that the gift is 'fine' as he keeps saying ' you can change it if you want' with a real hurt look.

    So...

    His real hurt looks this year: 1.

    Your real hurt looks this year: 360...


    Take it back - but explain why it is inappropiate so he won't make the same mistake again. You spend more than £100 feeding him, so it wasn't expensive as he is.

    You know what BB, you are worth so much more than that and deserve someone who will be there for you and not just for when it suits him. I don't like to slate other peoples OH when I don't know the whole story or them but he deserves a slap with a wet fish

    Well, I was THINKING that, but I'm far too polite to suggest it :D;)

    That's because you need a smooth silver tongue like mine... ;)

    this is a good deal isnt it?

    As my birthday is Valentines weekend, that's obviously not suitable for most people, so I was thinking maybe the end of Jan?

    I sent a text (rather sarcy, sorry) saying I was going to eat as I guessed he had made the £10 stretch all afternoon and into the evening, but I was sure he had arranged a great new year night out for us both instead.

    His reply?

    Have you had a drink.

    Mine

    No, I've had 3 and I'm just about to get my fourth.

    I'd love to Bunny, but for me, the thought of putting this into a swimsuit in public right now is out of the question. Maybe next year :o
