dh comes home with a green tiffanys bag with a beautiuflly wrapped green tiffay's box inside....

[pukkapatch]

with cufflinks in it. [grrr...] for the groom of the weddiing we went to a few weeks ago.
and a beautiful gorgoeous expensive sari for the bride.
i refused to make him the coffee he asked for

nah, i save it for nasty in laws. they are a different species to friends.

Ughh at in laws....had a total mare with MIL in the beginning... thought I was white English trash etc, refused to come over to meet me, refused to let me go there to meet them...bloody awful while it lasted. Thankfully its all water under the bridge now! Still have to do all the housework when she visits though.....I think she'd have a heart attack if saw DH with a hoover...

Come to think of it, I would as well!!

ha ha!

pukka, did I read right??? 22 carats !!! Can you lift your hand??

I didn't get an engagement ring at all. OK, I didn't want one, but still...22 carats

ooo, i love it when mil is going to come. dh is all over the house doing housework. cleaning, and vacuuming, and gettinga gardener in to make the garden look decent. and often making at least one curry as well.
then once sh e is here, he pretends i do everything all the time, and he doesn tlift a finger... funny thing is, he thinks its a lie, but he actually doesnt lift a finger normally, unless his mother is coming.

she doesnt come over very often , well, not sad at all, but it is nice wathching him do some houseweork for a change.

purple, dont get too excited. it 22 carat gold, not 22 carat diamonds.
just means it s dead soft, and always a sort of oval shape and was easy to stretch to fit my fat finger as i gained weight.

I don't think my DH's mother is going to come over at all any more....ok,ok, she is 76 but she's ferried to the airport (only 20 mins or so from where she lives) in manner of royal dignatory, picked up at the airport by DH at other end etc so its not too bad as journeys go - flight is 4.5hrs on a good day and she just sleeps most of it....

We, on the other hand have just forked out over a grand for tickets to Syria alone, have to get a car seat for use over there as quite frankly, car safety over there is all of the Insha'Allah nature, have to take a travel cot etc etc...so I think for her to visit just once every couple of years or so to take the strain off of us would be nice.....

But thats a whole different thread really isn't it??

i think we should have a special moaning about mil;s topic. not just individual threads.
last year in pakistan, my kids were horrified when they sat in my uncles car, and it didnt have seatbelts at the back....

i tired telling dh about all the mnetters with diamond eternity rings for their pfbs, but he just continued watching his film.

Bring your hubby over.....

BUY PUKKA A DIAMOND RING FOR BEARING THE FRUIT OF YOUR LOINS

Thank you,

Puss

lol, i wish mn had volume.
i could have that blaring in his ears. make him stop watching densel washington for a few minutes.

i think he may, after some thought, come up withthe excuse that he has to somehow finance the education of th e fruit of his loins now. ds may be going to private secondary come september

o puss, i love that.
i'd show it to him, but i dont want him knowing who i am on mn.....
