[http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/loulabellecelino/icandy010.jpg THIS] arrived with my spring plants order from Spalding today. Its a free gift. DH wants to put it in the back yard, I think its nauseatingly twee and would rather put it straight on freecycle.
AIBU to NOT want this in my back yard (if anyone ever saw it I would die of shame....)

He is winding me up I know, but he says the kids will love it. I say not if I dont give them an option they wont.

it's the sort of shit I have in my garden tbh .
it is 6yo Ds's fault he likes garden tut .

ILovePlayingDarts · 03/04/2010 20:39

Free gift or not, I'd shoot my dp if he ever put something like that in the garden!

But then, I know he would never, ever want anything like that, the words he's used about similar things are unprintable.

Sorry, he just hijacked the PC. He's threatening to get his own MN login now.

God no it's utterly vile

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/04/2010 20:43

Awww you need to put it in your front garden. Salespeople will avoid the house because they will think you are crazy.

taffetacat · 03/04/2010 20:44

Maybe suggest to your DH he puts it in the DC's bedroom. Or maybe he could have it as his nightlight in his study

RunawayWife · 03/04/2010 20:45

Well it might keep the JWs away
Get some butterflys for your house wall and a wolf whistling parrot for your porch and all will be well

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/04/2010 20:47

RunawayWife can you actually get wolf whistling parrots because I quite like the sound of that....

Hassled · 03/04/2010 20:47

Oh dear God NO. WTF are you THINKING?

Before you know where you are there will be bunnies in bizarre blue coats and kittens and hedgehogs and all sorts.

And your neighbours will mock you. Everytime you see them you'll know they'll be sniggering on the inside.

thisisyesterday · 03/04/2010 20:49

OMG I will have it!

ok, i wouldn't buy it, but if i got it free i would totally use it lol
i do love a piece of cheap tat, the more twee (pukey) the better!!!

Vallhala · 03/04/2010 21:01

If he were mine, he'd have to go. I wouldn't want that hanging around my garden!

And if he doesn't, then divorce him!
