Lovely presents from dh today, but aibu and a bit of a cow to be disappointed that the receipt shows that he just ran in n grabbed my pressies at 6pm on the wy home from work?

It's not as though he didn't know it was VD, it's advertised everywhere for months.

Sad

He's really not going to get very far if he doesn't put enough in.

Don't let's add fuel to the fire everyone.

OP Still not even slightly amusing, other than your distinct lack of pun-age

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 14/02/2013 21:59

OFFS! Is this is another 'joke' thread, i'm gonna be pissed off. They are not funny, they are fucking annoying.

Vicky2011 · 14/02/2013 21:59

Ah, I see.

too late in the day for puns but glad you're calm anyway :-)

Can only ever think of VD as Venereal Disease.

EarnestDullard · 14/02/2013 22:02

Oh, so he bought them at a pe-troll station then?

HeadfirstForHalos · 14/02/2013 22:03

He may still have put thought into the gifts, he could have been planning what to buy all week. What did you buy him?

Incidentally, I'm sat at home alone while my dh is out to dinner with another man. I have been promised a thoroughly good shag for tomorrow though Grin

HeadfirstForHalos · 14/02/2013 22:04

Air freshener? Is he trying to tell you something?

ComposHat · 14/02/2013 22:05

Oh bugger, I was hoping for something really juicy, like you'd found a receipt for a soapy tit wank in a massage parlour.

You have disappointed me OP

and oh yeah.... YABU.

LineRunner · 14/02/2013 22:06

Just another 'funny' thread.

HeadfirstForHalos · 14/02/2013 22:08

Ah, I thought this was just another whining valentine.

Ooh, Whining Valentine sounds like a band name.

LineRunner · 14/02/2013 22:09

My Whining Valentine
oooh ooh oo

HeyToodles · 14/02/2013 22:11

Im not even being sarcastic when I say I would have been made up with that present Grin

Monty27 · 14/02/2013 22:13

Aw OP I'm filling up for you

BinksToEnlightenment · 14/02/2013 22:16

He must pay for this!

ilovesooty · 14/02/2013 22:32

I'm disappointed. I thought the OP was actually being serious.

FunnysInLaJardin · 14/02/2013 22:36

YABU, DH and the DC made me a card, a lego heart and a valentine breakfast in bed today, all on the hoof. Twas lovely. I bought them some chocolates, picked a camellia from the garden and drew them a card at about 10.30 last night. The best surprises are last minute

Poetnojo · 14/02/2013 22:44

Jeez I thought by the thread title that you had found a receipt for a gift that he didn't give you, as in, something he bought for another woman or something! Does it matter when he bought you something? Really? Maybe he thought at least this way he wouldn't have to hide your gift for a few days till valentines day.

ScarletWomanoftheVillage · 14/02/2013 22:45

Hahahaha - Greensleeves, is this you? Wink

Floggingmolly · 14/02/2013 23:45

What the hell were you doing, scrutinising the receipts? Hmm

cantspel · 14/02/2013 23:51

I got my husband a bottle of cheapo tesco scotch when i did the shopping last saturday. I gave it to him in its tesco carrier bag last night before bed so i wouldn't have to get up and give it too him this morning. Maybe he should divorce me as my soul clearly lacks romance.

BlatantLies · 14/02/2013 23:54

You CANNOT be dissapointed with chocolate pretzels. They are fab.

MusicalEndorphins · 15/02/2013 00:00

What did you do for him? Genuinely interested in the difference between your way of thinking and his.
Also, how long have you been together?
