to be still wondering why DH got me a balloon modelling kit for Christmas?

I have been trying to work it out, but I am still baffled. Does he have an urge for there to be weird balloon models all over the place? Does he hope I will turn into a children's entertainer?

Or was it just a present found in the reduced items box?

Impressive, or incredibly disturbing in a "are there many bodies under his patio" type waY? Hmmmm.......

I'd LOVE a balloon modelling kit. What a great present.

I also like bath salts.

Oooh balloon modelling is a skill that will impress people at all sorts of moments in your life

I can make a marvellous vulva from two balloons

My SIL got me a balloon modelling kit last year and I love it! Bit meh as a main present though, but the thrill of a) managing to actually blow up one of those balloons and b) actually make your first dog/giraffe is only heightened by c) the very real fear that twisting already-stretched latex will in fact result in a big BANG!

Well it kept me entertained for a day or two.

I am a bit ungrateful aren't I? I will have a go at modelling (although unlikely to make a vulva, unless by some unlucky accident, but who can tell?)

The secret is to buy your own presents, and get him to pay for and wrap them. Not a surprise, not romantic, but just what you wanted!

It might also be the reason my mum had twice as many presents as anyone else this year...
