to have said no when MIL asked me if I wanted

[Blandmum]

a cheese board for my next birthday?

I say no, and may well have made a face a little like

[Scootergrrrl]

My mother thinks DH and I are obssesed with cheese.. last Christmas, a cheese board with integral knives in the base and this year a magnetic set of... cheese knives. Sadly, she doesn't ask so I don't get to go

[poppy34]

-any reason why you'd want one (yanbu!!) -are you planning on holding a wine and cheese party or bringing back the old favourite of pineapple/cheese on sticks?

[constancereader]

yanbu
was she cross?

[HairyIrene]

lol

[Blandmum]

No, she laughed
Eventually

[Kneehighinnappies]

[Buckets]

Did you say 'No' or 'no thanks'?

[oxocube]

Ooh, I would like one . I am being serious . But then I ask for things like mini blenders and kitchen knives for Christmas!

[paros]

[DoubleBluff]

[oxocube]

Maybe we could swap MILs MB. I'll get your cheeseboard and you'll get ..................FA

[itsahardknocklife]

lol at hairyirene's post

Is there any reason why she thought you might like a cheeseboard?

[nodder]

My mil asked me on friday If I wanted an all in one corset undergarment for my 30th Birthday!!! I was so shocked I cut my self with a bread knife. (I was making her a sandwich, not being a piggy)

[itsahardknocklife]

oh my god! I can't believe she asked that while you were holding a knife...

Mind you, at least you get prezzies - I have never got a birthday prezzie from my in-laws.

[candypandy]

it was nice of her to ask you in the first place
not a really weird thing to want to buy either
i think YABU not to say "no thank you" but to be so offended that someone wanted to buy you a cheeseboard!

[oxocube]

Are you sure it wasn't a cheese knife nodder?

[candypandy]

i mean at least she tried

[oxocube]

I don't think MB is offended candy, just a little and maybe a tad

[Twiglett]

what a nice present

cheeeeeeeeeeeeese

love cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese

all things cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese
(unless we're talking the cheese with fruit in cos that's not right)

[candypandy]

ok to be so at someone wanting to buy you a cheeseboard! it's boring but y'know
i mean is one really that far above it?

[BroccoliSpears]

Ooh I'd love a nice cheeseboard.

[Kbear]

I got three pairs of scissors from MIL for my birthday once. I'm trying to work out if a cheeseboard is better than three pairs of scissors. They were in a block. They are useful but NOT a birthday present.

What is wrong with MILs?

Ungrateful bear.

I was bought a crystal cake stand (an old 50's cake stand) for christmas by a very good friend

and I just lurve it

how old am I?
