Why did i leave dp/my dad in charge of getting ONE xmas pressie this year it's now out of stock!!

[LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster]

They were suppose to be picking up ds football kit.
Bearing in mind they have a season ticket and go to the ground i think this was perfectly reasonable for them to get it. They can then use their discount.
I measured ds months ago.
He has asked for 2 things i have got the other one!
Eventually my dad calls in today in his lunch to the store and they have none left in his size!
Aah!

Oh no thats awful!!! My other half continually lets me down with stuff like this
Any chance of getting it online?
Sorry i can't be more helpful.

Have managed to find it in a sports store for another £10 and no discount either.
Was really struggling to get the money together without having to pay even more and delivery.
I am so mad with them and will never ask them to do it again.
Can't afford to get it this week now will have to wait until next week when i get paid and hope it's still in stock
Have just rung dp who nonchlantly says he will sort it

Ooh- I am for you! I hate depending on other people, especially when it's something important. Hope you get it in time- can you ask one of them to lend you the £10, just to ram it home that it has cost you extra, never mind the inconvenience. They might feel guilty enough to offer to pay it..

I asked my DH to get one present organised recently for his DB..left it to last minute and not in stock. Always happens like this. so my suggestion which was completely pooh poohed originally, suddenly turns out ok. I suggested buying his parents a dvd player this year...he said No No No, they will be offended and hate it. so...what have the asked for?????????????? A dvd player

It is seriously annoying, but he is good about other things, so I am not divorcing him just yet.

Argh, it is v irritating for you!

I have to admit i didn't get my niece & nephew's presents quickly enough and ended up paying well over the odds for them, decided the extra money was worth it versus the stress of explaining my disorganisation !

Really your dp/dad should offer to pay the extra!

My dad just called and said they had a size 26 in stock but not a 24 so am thinking maybe i could get the bigger one ??

get the bigger one. He may have grown since you measured him anyway.

If he is anything like my ds, he won't notice the size.

Send him down there tomorrow!

Oh yes, i would get the bigger one too! Like desperatehwt just said, he may have grown and if he hasn't he soon will!!

Have left the money at my dads with ds shirt from last year.
Will leave it up to him to sort it with trepidation.
DP still says he will go down to the ground on Sat if not and sort it!

Am waiting with baited breath >>>.......
