AIBU re these Boots and the Consequences For Christmas

[TheRtHonGeorgianaGobshite]

It is my BDay tomorrow and I am as old as Methuzalah, that really old geezer.
I saw some boots in the sales today and had a Marianne Faithful moment... you know "at the age of 47, she realised she'd never drive a sports car in Paris, with the wind in her hair" or something like that.
But I'm older and it was leopard skin boots.
DD said "Mutton/lamb" as I tried them on. I had to have them, but they cost a lot; even in the sale. I knew if I didn't get them there and then (only one pair in my size); I would lose them forever.
So I bought them.
Then DD broke the code. She let me down, the village down and all the women on Mumsnet down.
She told/announced the purchase and the price to DH as soon as we got in. Said mutton/lamb/ridiculous. Loads of eye rolling and sighing from them both.
So if I keep them, I can't afford the Xmas dinner with all the trimmings, as DH wont subsidise the boots.
If I take them back, I can get a refund and it's all Yo Turkey !!!

Would it be unreasonable to serve the following for Xmas Dinner:

Potato Cake starter.
Linda McCartney Sausages/Bacon with frozen sprouts and Roast Potatoes
Fat free Apricot yoghurt with ice cream for pudding.

We have pre bought crackers (both pulling and for cheese)... but I won't be able to afford the lovely cheese board, but should have a few Monteray Jack slices left over from beefburgers I'm serving on Christmas Eve. And we have Benedicts Mints.

Would I be unreasonable to keep the boots and serve this Xmas meal.
The boots are f**king lovely and I have always thought Turkey over rated and over priced.

.

I like the cut of your gib! . Notes the sneaky trick of not taking the box... Genius!

They are rather special. Can you actually stand in them though? Realises I have turned into my mother.

OP I'm glad you're keeping the boots. Your posts are humorous but I'm raging on your behalf. Cheeky fucking fuckers.

Very similar, mine have more black in them.They're all individually made, the size 7's (and have still got) were identical to those.
I love my boots.

If there wasn't a risk of getting a hairy tongue and stains, I'd lick them.

She doesn't need to stand. OP has crutches so is allowed to sit down and gaze at her boots. Less wear that way.

Unless money's tight, then your DH deserves no more than egg and chips for Christmas dinner.

If money is really that tight and you don't need the boots, then you should take them back.

if he wants turkey he pays for turkey.

boots are bloody gorgeous

I never lied to my father.

If he asked my mother "is that new.." I'd roll,my eves, sigh and go "omg Daaaaad". NOT my fault he misunderstood.

Equally, I never lied to my mother. When she asked if Dad had snuck into the Pub I worked at on his way home from work for a quick one when he was running late for dinner. I'd say I say him pass through on the way home. She assumed I meant his car drive past the pub window. Not that he literally passed,through the pub itself via the bar.

I'm very disappointed in your dd.

Peoples, this is very tongue in cheek. DH would not be alive today if he interfered with my shoe and handbag habit.

As an old biddy; I am grateful that I have alerted some of you innocents on here, as to the sheer foolishness of the shoe box. My work is done.

It is the utter betrayal of baby Gobshite that is the real issue here.

Ah good stuff

Keep the boots and make sure you wear them for Christmas dinner

My teen daughter is willing to swap places and tell your dh that your baby gobshite lied! She thinks you sound cool!

All my DD's friends think that I'm cool.Which is a severe embarrassment to DD because this is not normal apparently.
DD thinks that I'm embarrassing and not cool ... because I breath (apparently).
But.....

Once the code is broken, there's no going back.
So next weekend we have an end of term sleep over with nine teenagers. Boys and girls.

Mummy Gobshite is going to be soooo..... bad.

Oh you realise you need to update with regards to end of term sleepover! Or do you need idea's!

Groovee. I will update. I don't need ideas (but thanks for the offer).

Nothing stands (including me, because of the crutches), between a Woman and her totally age inappropriate leopard skin boots.

I am aged and wise in the ways of teenagers, because I was once a really bad one .
Baby Gobshite is a complete amateur as a teenager.

The story of Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life.

So imagine what a new pair of leopard skin boots will do!

(I'm soooo jealous.)

Op, It's my birthday tomorrow too - Happy Birthday!

Cheers Crumble .
It's pants having a birthday so close to Christmas (as you well know).
Hope you get your own leopard skin boots, or whatever your heart desires.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow xxx

Thank you SanityClaus (love name).

I hope my DD learns to keep her mouth shut over such things when shes a teen, they'll be trouble if she doesnt.

As a Father, may I send to Baby Gobshite (or if she's too young ).

Yabvu - you should be serving full fat yoghurt as it's Christmas, not the low fat one that's full of sugar instead.
And maybe cranberry instead of apricot unless apricot is your favourite flavour but not well liked by dh or dd...

Aw thanks Gobshite. I have just flogged some leopard print shoeboots on eBay couldn't walk in them too big

Zipzap. Durrrrh. It will be full fat, once I stir the full fat ice cream in; and it will also disguise the fact that it may be a week or so out of the sell by date.
I'm going all out and serving traditional sauces with the main meal.... HP, Tomato and Mayo. These will be served in proper china twiddly bowls, and not in the bottles; as that would be wholly inappropriate.

Anyway I have the sleep over plan in place.
