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

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

-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?

yanbu
was she cross?

sure it wasnt chess?
lol

she got the mess-cheese then?

No, she laughed
Eventually

He he he MIL when will they learn
Mine has learnt she gave me money for xmas and said buy yourself something nice that you want as you alwyas take my gifts back

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

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

I wanted a vacumn cleaner for christmas and I got one . How sad am I . LOL

thats pretty sad

Would love a chheseboard.

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

lol at hairyirene's post

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

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)

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.

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!

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

i mean at least she tried

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

what a nice present

cheeeeeeeeeeeeese

love cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese

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

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?

Ooh I'd love a nice cheeseboard.

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?
