Each to their own

[Hobbsurf]

Nope, didn't you get the memo? Its all about over spending on lavish gifts and treats, just like every other holiday occassion these days

 

Ah - the sheeplike mentality that grips most dimwits when confronted with yet another annual "celebration".

 

Here's an idea - be yourself and do what you want, when you want - and ignore the crass massives.

Last year I got her one of those rechargeable hand held Dysons, great bit of kit.....she seemed pretty happy with it especially after the pie maker for Christmas!

 

I know......I am one of life's romantics:sneaky2:

[Welshwoodsman]

Always get the Mrs a new Iphone- sets me back a few hundred squid. She is also gettin an Ipad mini this year too! Just the romantic me! But after 22/23? Odd years together- c'est la vie!

Ah!! thats where I win then, I keep my good lady in the home caring for our family

 

Makes my life easier as I concentrate on earning a living and she keep us all (me and 4 children) very well cared for and the house in great shape.

 

IMO, all this women's lib and equality business is not heathy, two wage slaves and children fending for themselves.

 

But this is of cause only our preferred lifestyle

 

4 children has got to be a full time job if not more

Two are nearly 18 and 19, but yes I agree, keeping house is a very demanding job, we benefit from a very well kept house, home cooked meals, excellent packed lunches and I've had breakfast in bed for 20 years!!

 

I'd highly recommend it and she is the envy of many of her friends, many thought we were very old fashioned when first getting to know us, but has since admitted it really works and wish they could do the same.

I offered to take my wife on holiday and as I am almost 70 thought we could combine the two. My wife was not very keen so instead I am having a new husky 560xp. I have six Grandsons and two Sons which my wife dotes on so we are taking them all out for a meal ( we do this now and again. Looks like I am coming off best!!!!!!

I completely agree with you, my mrs went back to work after she had recovered from having our son after 12 weeks she had enough and packed it in.

What's the secret to 20 years of breakfast in bed as I think that would pushing it a little bit for my other half
