She gives me a long list from which I select. I will also purchase one wildcard present which usually goes down badly.

In other news, I put a deposit down on a 3 week old labrador yesterday ;-/

The glw supplies me with a list of suitable items from which to choose. This system suits me very well.

I, on the other hand, want fúck all and so she has to be creative. wd glw!

A dog is for life* not just for Christmas, R.







*not really, more like 12-15 years.

I imagine this will soon be happening the other way around. Labradors are ace though - good choice, r

Her mother and father are both field trial champions so it will give me an excuse to go on more shoots to train her - that's the idea anyway.

The problem with dogs is that they smell doggy; consequently, their owner's houses smell doggy.

Oh yes - I wouldn't want one, but other people's dogs are nice. We have a woman here who brings her great Dane into the office. It's quite playful and the size of not particularly small horse.

Mine wanted a handbag and purse but has now taken to using a fjällraven backpack. Of course this is after I spent a decent chunk on said purse and handbag :-|

I’m usually like that but decided I want a Nintendo Switch this year. She’d have probably killed me if I bought one for myself so thought I’d get her to buy it for me instead :hehe:

Wife's birthday is next week, so I get a combined Christmas/birthday present for her. I get hints but mostly ignore and just get her something from Mulberry. She's always happy with it

Yeah, best stick to perfume, lingerie and jewellery. And lots of flowers. In fact, the more frivolous, the better, unless it's a new car.

Anything else is simply asking for trouble.

:hehe: well I suggested a PS4, she said you don't use the old one so it's a waste of time.

I'll end up clothes no doubt.

I think/hope I'm getting a cider press. I don't think the wife has a clue what she's getting - not least because I've no idea what I'm getting her yet.

Just make sure you do your homework with that breed, R. Enormous health issues because of their popularity, resulting in loads of bad propagation; people producing puppies for profit. Even working pedigrees mean nothing here as that's about performance, rather than health. As a token of humble thanks-giving for your choice of pet, your veterinary surgeon will invite you both to his second honeymoon, in Barbados, all expenses paid.
