Xmas present dilemma
Comments
-
Hubby and I are at that age now where we really don't bother with presents for Xmas or birthdays we seem to have what we need or want when we want or need it
! Occasionally if we want something extravagant for the house or decide to buy a new car we will if we feel slightly guilty after we just say "well that's our joint Xmas birthday and anniversary present for a while "

I try to give out subtle hints, and after all these years my nearest and dearest are good at picking them up. If there is something I really would like and would prefer to pick the model etc myself, then I ask (camera last year). As it's "double do's" for
me (Birthday today), my husband is glad he only has to think of one present. But this year it's a Birthday and Christmas present in one (new speaker system), but I got a Toblerone this morning!0 -
Good 'Eavens, Child, not a whole bar == you'll spoil your appetite and then where will you be ??
{ Sorry Goldie but I could just hear my old Mum's voice saying that }
Aye, those Victorian Womenfolk were stern characters Muscles

hi everyone pray do tell me what is wrong with" the wife" or" the missus" better than the old woman surely Don?
It looks like the Huskydog has put his paw in it again ,by calling his "wife" the wife ,which is what she is , as in "husband and wife", so ladies , what do we call you ??????
I'm cofused

'My wife' or 'your wife' sounds much nicer guys. When you say 'the' - there can be only one!
If I were to refer to my husband as 'the husband' I think it sounds demeaning.
If your wife is happy to be referred to as 'the wife' then carry on guys but have you ever asked her that question?
Anyway, I'm happy to receive either Toblerone or a chocolate orange or them fancy chocolate balls wrapped in gold foil.

Meanings do change over time. I ran a business with two other blokes for thirty years but these days I would be reluctant to introduce them as my partners.
My son gets annoyed when I call a female actor an "actress" but to me it is perfectly correct and in no way am I suggesting she is inferior

Thats cleared that up then
, from now on it's "My Wife"
That's much nicer Huskydog.

I personally like the sound of-'my next Wife' it does trip off the tongue

For Christmas this year, I have replaced husband's birthday After Eights. He was quite upset when he found the empty little papers in the box in the cupboard. I only meant to eat one or two... And he's one of these people that can defer gratification, and
just eat chocolates occasionally, which means they just sit there, day after day, week after week, uneaten, taunting...0 -

Thank you for understanding. I eat chocolates for the same reason that more motivated people climb mountains...
