Is anyone else expecting carnage tomorrow?

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

Mum and Dad agreed no presents for each other...none...nada

She's bought him aftershave as a token gift

He's bought her an...Ipad

There will be rows :o Large rows :o

Whoops meant to be in chat!

i thought me and DH had agreed no presents as we havent really got the money to buy them, i have 3 pressies under the tree :( that he apprantly brought ages ago, luckily i also brought him a little pressie.

I am completely desperate for an Ipad...this COULD work in my favour...I doubt it mind :o

Dad buys bug presents for her every year despite any agreement...but this is quite large :o

snigger

My dad told me he wanted to buy the kids a coat each for xmas. I told him to get anything but (they already have one each what with it being winter an' all). He took them shopping then rang me to say they'd both seen coats they liked. I said absolutely not with my blessing. He bought them. He will get shitty tomoz when I don't prostrate myself at his feet in gratitude.

We had carnage last year...

There will hopefully not be a repeat this year, as I had a nice early strop midweek, which gave him plenty of time to consider what his fate may be if he did the same again and got me sod all, with the excuse that he hadnt had time to go shopping... I was very passive aggressive tactical during the last few days, with comments about how shit christmas is, and how I couldnt wait for January as christmas is always just me making the effort while everyone else does feck all...

It worked, as he was up and out to the shops very early this morning, and came back with gifts all wrapped up and happy smile on his face.. :)

Thank fuck for this thread.

There's been something niggling me all night...I kept thinking I'd forgotten something and checked my lists of lists over and over again.

Then I realised, I'd forgotten to wrap DH's present

So thank you OP

:o no problem

Now if someone could help me find the gloves and £150 worth of vouchers I can't find anywhere...that'd be grand!

Well that's simple innit?

The vouchers are in the gloves

HTH

Well of course

I SO WISH THE LITTLE BUGGERS WOULD GO TO SLEEP ... ( utterly knackered emoticon )

Feckless, please tell me you're not in England, therefore there's a time difference!!

Still can't find the bloody gifts!

At least you are only looking i am still sodding making. every flipping year i think it will be a good idea to make something. every flipping year something happens and there is a late night of not sleeping.

thankfully ds begged to go to bed tonight although as i feel asleep at the same time and am in the middle of making whilst multi-tasking on mn natch i have no idea what the state of fc treats were. I need to deal with that Will be back later no doubt.

Oh to be in England ... Unfortunately I am. They had gone to sleep but my sister came round on the way back from the pub and woke them up again One's gone off and I have a sort of premonition that Santa's going to leave t'other ones stocking on the landing ...

We had our Christmas row this morning, me and my Mum.

Our DD1 has a family nik name of DooDoo because that is what my DS2 called her when he couldn't talk properly. Every time my parents come round, my Mum says "Is it Do Do ( like the extinct bird ) that you call her ?" I snapped today, and we had a blazing row about it.

All friends again now, so hopefully that was it

I tried to be all fancy and make gifts last year. Cue me running around on xmas eve buying proper gifts rather then the shit I produced

Blardy hell Feckless! although apparently me and DB were just as bad as your DC on xmas eve fingers crossed all is quiet soon!!

At least it's over and done with Recall :o :o

Where the HELL are these gifts?!

Every single year, I wrap all the presents from my DB (Except my own...they get handed to me in the Amazon box the arrived it! :o)..NEVER does he do any wrapping

He wrapped the gloves and vouchrs and stuck them under the tree...mentioning this 2 hours ago would've been helpful boy!!

Well at least you now know where they are

Only another 3 fecking meters of hemming.

Milk, are you my sister? Dads got mum an iPad, although she has got him a Kindle. Not sure how it's going to go down...

Oh dear! IPad has not gone well

Oh dear milk? is it a retrieveable situation?

We had a similar situation: I bought dh the phone i thought he wanted, he bought me some kitchen toys I've been wanting for about 2 years. His Embarrassment meant he wasn't as expressive with gratitude as I'd imagined, which didn't go down well :o

They're talking now :o

I think it may be going back this week :o

Oh dear Muddy!! Did he show his gratitude in the end ?!:o

Ah, the ipad went down well here, although I had to set it up which was the most stressful 15 minutes of my life delightful.
