Why am I so stupid?

[LadyGlencoraPalliser]

DH told me MIL was asking what he wanted for Christmas. Obviously this was a good opportunity to avoid the dreaded gardening gloves (last year) or road atlas (year before) so I stupidly said "Why not an iTunes voucher?"
"But I don't have an iPod, says DH, bemusedly.
CLUNK
(That was the sound of the penny dropping.)
I blushed to the roots of my hair, stammered something random and changed the subject. I don't think he was fooled.
And to think last year, I managed to keep a whole entire surfboard hidden for three weeks. Until DD3 came into the room on Christmas morning and loudly enquired why there was an ironing board behind the sofa.

I do things like that ALL of the time!

That reminds me of my DH, he ordered some books from Amazon at the weekend, said not to open the box when it was delivered as some were for me for Christmas, and then left his order confirmation printout by the computer!

I hope you didn't look! I'm trying to avoid looking at my Amazon wish list atm, as I know my mum has been on it, and I don't want to know what she bought.

You can download Itunes onto the PC

Now if only I'd known that, I could have talked my way out of it!

I once got my DH a huge framed print done by the art teacher at his school. I left it behind the sofa and all was good until......... for the first and last time DH took it upon himself to move the sofa to put the tree up. He hadn't realised it was there of course and the picture fell over and the glass smashed.
He was in a quandry, whether to own up or look astonished on Christmas morning.
Being the good catholic he is, he told me. He also said he didn't like that picture and could I ask the teacher to change it for another of his prints.
