OH! SS hon, I'll be on here sunday the 30th evening (I dont see him xmas day, just sat the 29th.......saturdays as usual.......not giving an inch) bawling my eyes out if it is what I think it is. Fingers crossed it isn't though because I'll not stand for poor decision making leading to ill thought item purchasing which then leads to libedo-DEATH.Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

to be fair to the poor bloke - I think pressie buying is a completely different experience for men. it's ingrained into them that it's ok to leave it until 24th (although he may find some bargains then), don't stress too much, it's more important that he's been there for you through a tough year and that he will continue to be. it's only a pressie!
there's always a chance he might buy you something fantastic...Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Yeah. I'm not intentionally trying to be a cow. it's just that......eugh........I always put alot of thought into the gifts I give because it seems to make it more personal, y'know.
Eugh, ignore me. I'm two months late (again) and stressed to the max.

Ahem!
Normally it's a case of:
Q."What do you want"?
A.- Don't know.
- Nothing.
- Surprise me.

I didn't mean you were being a cow but it's only a pressie. Example though: I've bought a wee digital travel alarm for DS's dad from him that also works as a digital photo frame and I've put lots of pics of DS on it for him as he travels a lot with work and seemed a good idea. He on the other hand emailed me and asked "what do you want from DS"...
it's a man thing!
2 months late though? not a chance you might be pregnant?Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
