That made me laugh. He would most probably be happier with some cheddar and branston pickle than a selection of different cheeses. I just can't bring myself to give it to him .:rotfl:

Ha, you should hand him a gift bag first containing a jar of branston (or even better, supermarket value alternative) and a block of value cheddar! Once he's opened that and had to display enthusiasm for the 'cheese and pickle hamper' then you can give him the real hamper! I bet your beautifully thought out and presented hamper will look pretty damn good then!

Went to my Dads today (WHY OH WHY OH WHY?) and mentioned my werther's vodka, to be told he hated things like that. Vodka should be left alone.

To which I jokingly said, ' Yes its to go with you Cheese and Pickles Hamper' (Which it was)

He actually laughed and said ' F!!! Off , Cheese and Pickle Hamper. If I want cheese and pickles I'll go and bl00dy buy some.'

I think he thought I was joking.

I just get so fed up sometimes. Everytime I try and do something different, nobody here wants to know.

I actually got in the car and cried.

Oh no - I am so sorry. Some people just don't think. I'd be made up if someone made me a hamper - so thoughtful.

oh nooo OMO - some people just do not think. I'd carry on and give him the hamper, plus a jar of humbugs. But not the vodka - you deserve that yourself now!!!!

People are weird........ earlier this year, decided to throw my OH a little at home birthday BBQ with cake and a piñata. I invited both my family and his-it was the first time we had them all together- His grand parents reaction to being invited to this was:

'Why? its not a special birthday, you must just like messing about'

I was floored!

BIG thankyou to everyone who replied about moshi monster girls pjs. Wednesday cant come quick enough, its my only day off this week and i plan to finish my xmas shopping, yes, completely finish! so its off to primark or tesco for pjs, hb and poundland for a few more stocking fillers, check out the market as i want 3 bags and purses for eldest 3 girls, theyre all getting a bit of money and i thought little bags & purses would make it a more exciting gift than money wallets. Ive got argos delivering a few bits to work for me thurs, and mil present is waiting to be collected from sorting office (grrr, having to work full time makes online shopping/delivary soooo difficult). Dh wants to cook this year, so im leaving all the food shopping to him - with a warning that he best remeber pigs in blankets! Im gonna sit for an hour now & make sure there is nothing else i need to buy. Were away for 2 weeks, and then im booked to do a lot of overtime late nov/early dec, so i need to make sure im organised. already looking forward to my annual wrapping day (first wkend dec), michael buble xmas cd, rose wine and lots of sticky tape and ribbon!

Thank you lovely! Had a really nice day, got lots of Christmas bits & bobs! Got some great Christmas mugs in a 99p store for the kids for their hamper, a pack of 16 candy canes, they do peppermint or cherry flavour! But I saw loads of different canes in BHS (tango flavoured) Asda do normal peppermint or fizzy fruit ones! I got lots of other stuff as well and need to go through my bags when the kids are at school!

Am now chilling out with wine & yankee cinnamon stick candles, I found these nicer than the sparkling cinnamon ones if anyone likes cinnamon!
