is this cheeky??

[StrawberryFULLMoonOWOWOWWWWWWW]

my sil when prompted, aske d me to get x as a present for her dd for christmas.

went to toysrus at weekend, got this present, went to sil day after, said i had got it and she said oh i hope you got it from xyz(diff shop), i said no, from tiysrus, she said oh i wanted it from xz as you get some freebies with it from there!

so daft arse me says oh, ill just take it back next weekend and go to other shop for it!!!!!
am i soft?
is she too cheeky??
we are not mega close to the point where i would say this to her or even say oh could you get my dd this then?!

sorry spelling was crap there and toher shop was argos!

I'd be a bit miffed. You've got her the present she asked you to get. End of story. Give her the toy and tell her to take it back. She should've given you all the info in the first place if she was going to be picky.

Cheeky unless you are good friends and even then, actually, I wouldn't say that sort of thing after it had been bought. However, not cheeky if she had said "I'd like X, thanks for asking - and if you buy it from suchandsuch there are some freebie bits and bobs too"

Some peopel just aren't inhibited enough!

well i know id want the extra freebies for dd, but then id go and buy it my self or at least say before hand!..not once ive bought it!

dont know if to just not bother traipsing round town with it and say i couldnt get one>.. but then shed prob ring them and say oh ive rang and they do now!

If you said you couldn't find it and she rang them she would be VERY cheeky, bordering on damn rude imho!

so for basically telling me present she asked for was now no good and to return it for new and improved is cheeky then as i thought?!

I'd say cheeky yes, I mean, it's not exactly a hanging offence but it would make me pull irritated faces and probably have a whinge about her behind her back!
But if you have already said you'll take it backa nd go to argos instead, sod it, just do it, it's not worth the hassle. Just know, you are right, she is cheeky...

just im working full time now, have weekend fully booked and tbh, think shes a cheeky sod for even asking!
i have lots to do plus return a GIFT for her dd cos its not good enough!

i know what you mean..but im such a fecking mug!

Could you just return it (5-10 minutes?) and instead of trudging to argos as well as ToysRUs order it from argos online for delivery - to HER house so SHE has to open the door at 6am for the parcel or drive to parcel depot to collect it!

(sympathy - am a FT worker too...no time to think let alone shop!!)

It's cheeky, and I wouldn't take it back. You got what she asked you to get ... tough luck if she doesn't get the freebies as well.

If she's so bothered by it, maybe she could take it back?

as usual am putting too much thought into what i should do for her as this is typical her, but am miffed im going to have to either
a: lie and say they had none
or
b:trudge back and get the one with the blummin freebies!

I'd just shrug and say 'well I will give you the paperwork so you can take it back if you like'.

"I'd say sorry don't have time for it heres the recipt you won't mind will you?"

Well cheeky

well its for xmas, so would they still take them back after then if i bought it so earlyy?
just spoke to my mum and told her and she said the same as you lot!..why am i so soft!

Message withdrawn

she is dp's sis but weve only botherd with them for last 3 year cos they never talked when younger and only do now cos of dc's tbh, do like her but am miffed that what she asked for now has conditions with it!..can see that her dd would like the extra figures and dont want to spite her, but think sil is out of order for even suggesting i take back what i bought for one with other things!..why cant she just buy other things as stocking fillers?!

Yeah, let her handle it. You could ring her, say v. sorry but simply don't have time to take it back, but offer her receipt so she can do it (if she can be bothered!?). Too many people in the world are too good at getting others to do the crap for them, let her do it. Maybe next time she'll give you full instructions first....

She is a silly cow who should have mentioned the freebies before.

oh my, what a cheeky mare. Makes her sound ungrateful tbh. Would get her to take it back. I empathise- have a similar SIL. Last xmas bought her eldest a projector, you know that they can use for drawing. Initially she sent me a text to say it didn't work, and could she have the receipt? I said I couldn't find it, but it was a chad valley one so to take it back to woolies, they would know it was from there, and replace it.
THEN she said oh well BIL says the magnifier is weak, we have seen one we would rather have, it is double cost of other but we will put the rest to!

DH got pissed off with them at this point (I had a 3mo baby and they live in Ireland, so bit of a kerfuffle sorting it all out) and said ofgs just send them a cheque for the full amount, dont want to hear about it again, so I did.

No acknowledgement had received cheque- then a text to say she had lost the cheque and could I send another, but for £17 and not £20 (I had just rounded up [mug emoticon]) then that was it. No acknowledgement again, no thank you, she didn't return the other projector so on one present- and we bought him other things- I spent £27 in total. And after the awful, thoughtless, shitty present she sent my dd for her 1st bday (no card) which made me cry when I opened it, I have well and truly learnt my lesson.

Sorry for hijack, but was cathartic! Please know you did nothing wrong, you are not a mug, just a nice person, and she doesn't seem to be such.

If she's not local, can you tell her your branch hasn't got the freebies pack atm and rather than risk not being able to get hold of the toy before the time limit on Toys r Us refunds you 'll stick with the one you've already got. I 'm sure I have been precious about particular presents before but hope I've also been helpful in saying that one store may have it differently packaged/priced to another and the givers have appreciated that they are getting better value for money if they choose to shop there. To not tell you when asking originally is ridiculous.

What a bunch of cheeky mare's your SIL's are -(mine are a dream!)
Strawberry - If she didn't explicitly say she wanted it from another shop because of the goodies on offer then the onus is on her to return it NOT YOU - Nah Sod it - The onus is on her FULL STOP !!

3LP - I'm outraged on your behalf - how bloody inconsiderate - send 'em a postal order for 10 shillings in future ( do they still do them or am I showing my age??!!)

You walked straight into that one, Strawberry. Just say bad luck, you haven't got time to traise off to both shops and what a shame she didn't tell you in the first place!

no way would I take it back but if it's going to upset you if you don't then it isn't worth it. I'd say with a smile, sorry too busy because of x and y etc.. but here's receipt like has already been suggested.

Only you know how brave you are though sally
