cos we Don't need one and i think the novelty of "I got my missus a hoover" may persuade dh that i KNOW we have one but its crap

which one is it?

LadyTophamHatt · 02/11/2006 12:12

I'm getting a tumble dryer for Xmas.

( ilove hoovering up my hair, my bedroom carpet gives me great satisfaction because it makes little hair balls when hoovered)

guyfawkesHEIFERgy · 02/11/2006 12:12

Could you cope with the embarrasment of everything thinking your DH is a right tosser for buying you a hoover for Christmas....

I know I coulnd't...

FireFaerie · 02/11/2006 12:12

know that feeling, my malts-like-a-cat-3-foot-long hair has finally defeated my dyson, which by the way is SHI..Awful... yes, thats what i mean. Dont get one am also probably getting an anit-dyson hoover for christmas. not my idea of a heart-skipping pressie though. DP's idea of heaven maybe

TheDaVinciCod · 02/11/2006 12:13

You see this is the sort of thing that happens when you become a Wife

guyfawkesHEIFERgy · 02/11/2006 12:15

So accidently drop your hoover down the stairs.. Buy the one you want to replace it...

Then ask DH to buy something NICE for Christmas....

NomDePlume · 02/11/2006 12:15

My hair is a b*$tard too. It's not long (jaw length) but it gets EVERYWHERE, mainly in the bathrooms . The fact that we have white tiled floors in the bathroom and I have dark dair doesn't help matters. It's a wonder I'm not bald.

TheDaVinciCod · 02/11/2006 12:15

why is that any different

hair
i have to scuff it up wiht my hoof

guyfawkesHEIFERgy · 02/11/2006 12:17

Different because you are not getting a hoover for Christmas,, just replacing the one you broke.... and it happens to be near Christmas.....

Makes all the difference in the world to me....

I am not mature enough to ask for things I actually need for Christmas, just things I want....

guyfawkesHEIFERgy · 02/11/2006 12:19

Actually that is a great big heifer lie...

Since becoming a SAHM I have gone without NEEDY presents for Christmas and birthdays and asked for things for the house...

Oh crap I am old and boring.. I swore I wouldn't become like this...

Oh no I am not the above, just skint....

NomDePlume · 02/11/2006 12:20

lol

FireFaerie · 02/11/2006 12:20

right with you on the nice pressies... but ive never been practical either.
also, DP exclaims there is not only a bird around here with a birds-nest-mansion structured entirely from my hair, but its any wonder i have any left either
no wonder the hoover hates me more than i hate it!

NomDePlume · 02/11/2006 12:23

I think I must be the only person in the known universe who doesn't know what she wants for blardy Christmas.

I'm so crap at these things, I'm like cod in that if I need/want something (within reason), I just buy it. My Mum is peeved with me because she 'owes' me a birthday present from April. She asked me what I wanted and I said I don't know. I told her to put the money to opne side and I'd have a think and let her know.... I still haven't let her know and we are now 7 months on.

TheDaVinciCod · 02/11/2006 12:24

i buy thigns fo dh to give me often

i emant "hst thte diff" to mp about being married

OP posts:
NomDePlume · 02/11/2006 12:24

In fact I said 'oh don't worry about it@ but she insisted on putting the money aside...

TheDaVinciCod · 02/11/2006 12:24

agre NDP
xmas is for kdis
a lot of poepel need to GRWO UP

OP posts:
guyfawkesHEIFERgy · 02/11/2006 12:25

NP I used to be like that... but now just don't have the money to buy something I like. So no-one knew what to get me as if I wanted it would probably have already had it..

But now, still can't decide as I know I won't get much - only DH and best made buy for me (parents passed away).. so really important I get ask for the right thing - but just can't decide that that actually is.....

FireFaerie · 02/11/2006 12:26

great cop out for that is 'surprise me'
DP gets very sweaty palms this time of year as my birthday is in december too.. and he never knows what to get me.
Is it cruel to enjoy the show? i do genuinely prefer not to know what im getting though.. i dont just say it to be a cow
