Wanted to smash his face with the poxy bunch tbh.

Am I a bitch?

CODalmighty · 20/03/2007 11:34

yes

AnAngelWithin · 20/03/2007 11:35

aww bless him. He could have brought a bigger bunch and some chocolates as well though

Hassled · 20/03/2007 11:35

Depends who started/was the cause of the argument

Mumpbump · 20/03/2007 11:36

Yes - what a lovely gesture... It's the thought that counts and all that!

Cashncarry · 20/03/2007 11:36

Yes you are

LOL at smash his face with the poxy bunch though - I once had a strop when DH bought me flowers from a petrol station. Said I'd rather he didn't bother.

It's the thought that counts apparently

keeplaughing · 20/03/2007 11:36

Hmm, don't like the £2 bunch but better than my DH who does nothing

Gobbledigook · 20/03/2007 11:36

Oh NOrtherner! It's a nice gesture!!

Are you still p*ssed off about the row?

northerner · 20/03/2007 11:37

Him being a wanker was the cause of the argument.

It started over a broken cat flap, then progressed to moving to Spain , the state of the world, whether or not to have a 2nd child, then his mother.

depends whose fault the row was. If he seems really sorry then at least he has made the effort with flowers and coming to the office

Stigaloid · 20/03/2007 11:37

I think the fact he made the effort to come to your office to apologise with flowers shows he cares. He may not have had a chance to go to a mroe expensive florist, or may wish to save the money for somethign more useful to you as a family at a later time.

You're obviusly still upset from the argument, but you should definitely see the effort he is making and give him some slack. (unless the argument got violent or something)

Cashncarry · 20/03/2007 11:38

crossed posts with Mumpbump who thinks the thought really does count - aawww...

No it ruddy doesn't!

tell him to go to M&S next time.

northerner · 20/03/2007 11:38

Yes still pissed off about the row.

Tortington · 20/03/2007 11:38

tell him next time your love can be bought. and to try more expensive tastes next time he is trying to say sorry

Hillary · 20/03/2007 11:38

I woulndn't want my private life brought into the office, if he was wanting to appologise perhaps he could have organised something for when you got home - candlelight dinner or something.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/03/2007 11:39

yes, you are.

Hassled · 20/03/2007 11:41

If you're still pissed off about the arguments then Peruvian Orchids hand-picked and dipped in chocolate and gold wouldn't sort it out - at least if you're anything like me. There's nothing quite like holding a grudge

flutterbee · 20/03/2007 11:41

At least he apologised, it sounds to me like the argument was over nothing (as they usualy are) and I suspect you both said some nasty things to each other.

Maybe you should apologise to him tonight with a really cheap cheap bag of chocs and call it even.

He doesn't eat chocs.

A bag of plastic golf tees might do teh trick....

chocs all the better if he doesn't eat them. sends the right message of the amount of effort you are prepared to put in!

bossykate · 20/03/2007 11:47

no i don't think you're being unreasonable. as someone once said "there isn't a woman alive who doesn't know the difference between florist and forecourt"

Hassled · 20/03/2007 11:48

LL - I don't know where you can get them but I sense I've spotted a gap in the market and found a new business venture to keep me rich in old age - I'm off to Peru to do some hand-picking :0

OP, what did YOU do to apologise/ make up?

charabang · 11/11/2022 19:12

I'd be mortified. Did he present you with the flowers in front if your colleagues? Your workplace is not the place to apologise and he should have waited til you got home. YANBU
