Listening to DH wrapping my presents and I think he’s got me a live lobster

It’s the only explanation. So far I’ve heard:

What the bugger….?
Breathe, just breathe…
1….. 2….. 3….. 4
Right I’m not wrapping it. I’m just not.
Arrrrrggggghhhhh

And the best…. ‘Fuckinora!’

I’ve offered to help but it didn’t go down well.

For context, we usually get each other about 3 presents and he’s been wrapping for an hour.

Shameless place mark.

I'm pretty sure the original sweary phrase was 'bloody Norah' - which might be more apt for wrestling some of the gifts mentioned (or a normal cat).

You can take it for walks on a ribbon! Channel your inner Salvador Dali 🦞

Right, I’m off to bed. I need my rest so I can do battle with the present tomorrow. I will report back but I fear you should all manage your expectations.

Night all and Merry Christmas 🤶

We used to be West Midlands and we’re now Yorkshire. Common in both places apparently.

I always thought it was Fucking Nora but then I thought no, that’s batshit, must be fuckinora. Lesson of the day, trust your instincts 🤣

2 words it is...Jack Duckworth on Coro used to water it down to "Bloody Nora"

ortonym · 24/12/2022 23:58

Or was it "Flamin' Nora"

My DH can wrap stuff. My PIL clearly did better raising DH than I have done with DS. I've been asking DS to wrap his present for his daughter for days, he says he will but he didn't. So DH did it instead.

Place marking. Need to know what it is. 😂

I feel sorry for Nora ShockXmas Grin

I will, I promise! I fear it might not live up to the hype though!

Look due to having the willpower of an excitable 5 year old I now have no presents to open tomorrow, having caved about two hours ago and opened the only two i hadn't already opened over the past week.

So it could be socks as far as I'm concerned I'm just looking forward to the grand reveal.

Wow man finds it hard to wrap present

Ooh someone is getting coal in their stocking tomorrow.

Merry Christmas. 😘

FelicityBeedle · 25/12/2022 00:40

My guess is a really unusual vase

Cuwins · 25/12/2022 00:54

This made me giggle while dealing with my awake in the night again DD. I gave up wrapping her little walker trolley and put it under the tree as it is with the bricks wrapped in it instead!
My partner strangely is a much better wrapper than me and actually quite enjoys it.

CurlUpAndDye · 25/12/2022 00:57

Budge up, I'm getting in line too! Wanna see pics of Nora tomorrow.

TheTempest · 25/12/2022 01:05

Can’t wait to see the lobster tomorrow!

TheRosesAreInBloom · 25/12/2022 01:08

Following for the reveal 😄

JennyWI · 25/12/2022 01:12

Fallowing too!

I did all the presents… not worth the he hassle. Meanwhile, he cleaned the oven which was not unlike the lead soprano’s diva-like suicide scene at the end of an opera. (Ie- ffs, get on with it.)

It's getting nearer to the reveal!

1stTimeMama · 25/12/2022 02:41

Not wrapping, but my husband called the Nerf gun rack he put together this evening, a cunt.
I laughed out loud involuntarily. I'm not sure there's many presents that deserve such an accolade!

bert3400 · 25/12/2022 02:48

Heavily invested 🧑‍🎄
