To be suspicious about a kindle??

[kindlefinder]

I have just discovered a new kindle in DH's car boot hidden under a pile of work stuff. Obviously only recently ordered. Presumably a present.

I have one. DSs are little.

AIBU to be suspicious and start wondering who he can have bought it for. Have I been on mumsnet for too long!?!

Yes, you have been on MN too long?

Has he any siblings, cousins, close friends? What about his parents? Perhaps he wants one for himself!

His mum/dad/brother/sister?

He's hiding it for a workmate?

Perhaps it's stolen!

Not a family present since we've set a £15 limit for adults. He bought it since the paperwork is in with it. And he had it delivered to work.

Aagh I have no other reason to be suspcious and now my mind is racing!!

is it the new touch screen one? maybe then it is an upgrade for you

Is it a newer model to yours?

Here's a radical idea; why not ask him?

not for me since we've agreed not to buy anything for each other this year

it could be for himself.....

Do you have the old model? Maybe he's upgraded you?

If not, he's clearly having an affair and you should leave the bastard

Although if he where having an affair I doubt it would be a kindle he'd be gifting, more like crotchless knickers jewelry.

don't really want to ask him since I'm probably just being ridiculous.

I might mention that I went to get something out of his boot and see if he brings it up.

if it was for himself he'd have brought it into the house surely?

You're right loopyloo, jewellery would be a far better bet if he's having an affair - mind you I got a eurythmics CD for Christmas last year, he's not the most adventurous with his gifts!

Keep us posted, i'm nosy curious!

I don't think he'd have upgraded me. we're really watching our money at the moment due to threat of redundancy.

He might've bought it for himself but be too embarrassed to tell you he's spent the money on himself.

Maybe it is for you and he's been saving up slowly and carefully!

This is going to drive me mad now! And if I bring it up then its bound to be for me/my great grandfather/poor old housebound lady down the road and I'll be the suspicious old witch

I think he's bought it for himself too, but knows you're supposed to be watching money so feels guilty.

What does he do as a job? We have had various things going on at work and a colleague had an ipad in the boot of the car for ages as a prize for a competition. Could it be a leaving present for a colleague? or something similar?

Deffo ask him tonight.

I think its for himself as AWimbaWay has said.

Thought this thread was going to be about worrying that Kindle might be providing some kind of hacker with info

It was the 'suspicious'

Just mention it to him, you don't have to come over all suspicious.

When he gets home say 'Who's kindle is that in the boot?'
Easy.
