I need a bit of advice from the ladies

[LILACSPLASH]

You mean you don't do Christmas Lists, ACE?  ::)  We do them every year, from the smallest gift  to the largest "you are never going to get that in a million years" type present.  Saves all the disappointments and hurt feelings but gives you plenty of scope. Get on to Google and print off a nice cuddly Santa on a blank page and head it "My darling wife's Christmas List" leave it around in a strategic place and see what happens.  It can also work for you so you can avoid  getting some nose hair clippers this year that you don't want.  :D busy_lizzie   

either that or the fiver 8) no pans/tin openers etc unless you want to be boshed round the head with them :-\

ACE, NOTHING, BUT NOTHING, that is useful around the house.  That's what you are there for!! or didn't you realise!!

Also, anything mechanical can be used to splat you round the back of the head!!

Smellies, clothes, anything that you would consider useless, thats what you should be looking at.  It will earn you a few (very few) brownie points

unless she's like me and wants
nesting boxes
bat boxes
ladybird house
lacewing house
all these can be home made, I don't mind

this is in case ray reads this thread, then he's got no excuse  ;)

[MrsKP]

I want an extra vent and louvres for the g/h.

How hard is that.   ;D

[manicscousers]

maybe we all should put our wish lists on here for oh's to read !!

[ACE]

on here for oh's to read !!

NAH don't think so,  any way she ain't my other half, more like my other three quarters

[wahaj]

holding a trowel ?   :D

oh no darling. i need a spade for mine.

[MrsKP]

[moonbells]

ROTFL

If my other half were to buy me clothes or useless things for the house or smellies I'd have a few words!

Now on the other hand, new bits for the car, practical pressies, garden gift tokens (his family have worked that one out!), new shed...

Yes I know.  I should've been a bloke...

;D ;D  I'm with artisan on this one, but wouldn't two young Swedish girls do the work twice as quick freeing up more leisure time.

              May the corn be with you.

I think I should have been a bloke too Moonbells, I have asked MIL for a spade. Brother for an electric ariel for the car (the flashy ones that vanish when you turn the ignition off) and mum and dad are getting me a printer.  What I rearly want is an original centre console for my 1975 MG Midget as some plonker put the radio under the "parcel shelf" - what most people call the glove box!!  V. hard to turn up the radio for a fast bit of road!!.

Ace, thinking of a present for your long suffering wife how about what my hubby got me one year, a nice steam iron, "cos you hate ironing so much I thought this would make it easier for you"  Some how he lived to regret it!!

Good luck with your choice, I am sure your gift will fail to please.  As my hubby says "I am always in the s**t it's just the depth that varies"
