one in a million

[ChrisP]

Last night plucked up the courafe to ask her celestial greatness what she wanted for Christmas. The answer "I don't know let's spend the money on bits for the boat instead"

Have I fallen on my feet or what.

Alternatively this is a fiendish plot to break the world record for the biggest bol****ing on Christmas day.

Is she one in a million or am I tired of life ????

What do you mean the sea gull in front's walking !!!

Dangerous ground Chris - tread carefully!

On other posts there has been the definitions of what women say but really mean, you would be wise to heed these.

Get her something and then your conscience is clear to spend on the boat.

Re: yes, dodgy: flowers required

in situations like this, you can't beat flowers. Very pretty, quite cheap, and with indisputable "loving husband" qualities. Forty quids wortth should be plenty, possibly 30 might be ok. Also, they die fairly quickly, so doesn't add to the ornament count. . Don't get the liiles that drop blimming orange pollen about.

More like one in ten million! It sounds suspiously like MrsB disease, must be contagious down your way, shame it didn't spread into the west country.

However you must not get carried away, don't expect to see anew boat appear in the marina all wrapped up in ribbons and bows with your name on the lable, mebbe there's a hidden agenda at work, what does Mrs Crispy really want, why is she doing this.

Oh dear, think you may have cause to be really worried, maybe she's heard about MrB asking you to give him another 4", praps she saw you both appear from the bowels of that other boat covered in sweat, maybe 2+2=7 or even 1+1=69 (straight from the PaulineB book of sums)./forums/images/icons/smile.gif

On reflection I would suggest you keep a very close eye on SWMBO, probe deeper and find out what's behind all this peace and goodwill to all men, specially HWMBO;-))

Trouble is that if I go into a jewelers shop for a concience present my taste is more expensive than hers.
Here comes another season without colour radar on the flybridge.

Agree with Dave. Is it a double or triple bluff....and you won't know until Christmas day.....in fact you won't know then, it will be stored and brought up in about 2 years time when you are on the brink of winning an argument.

Agreed. I'm also very suspicious.
I think Chris needs to replay the conversation back in his head. Body language and the tone of voice is just as important as the words used.
Did she have her arms folded across her chest and was she tapping her foot as she said it? Could be some signals there!

Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit but it's a darn sight better than a kick in the B*ll*cks on Xmas day !

Re: One answer!

Of course you could alway buy 'her' something for the boat!

 

[Caronia]

Chris .. I suspect she was using what is known as "cockney rhyming slang" where boat = boat race = face. What she is proposing is to spend all your hard earned squids on some make-up.

 

[suzanne]

As the daughter of this truely wonderful wife I can tell you exactly whats going on. Now that you've bought the new boat and have decided your going to spend the rest of your lives on it Mum has the same attitude as you. "In the divorce I want the dogs and the boat and you can have the kids!" Its your own fault for buying the new boat!

Re: yes, dodgy: flowers required

Popped home for the evening back 2morrow and got a bouquet made up in Chipping Norton on the way. SWMBO was delighted - I'll find out how much later /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Re: Trickey !

I'm with the 3 daves on this one. Tread v carefully mi amigo, she's even got the daughter programmed!


Flowers a la tcm are a good move unless she knows to suspect something about you, in which case the're a no no.
Going ahead and getting her nothing is a very 'brave' thing to do, as in 'brave politician'.
I think I'd risk the strategy of asking again - only once or twice though - then you SHOULD only be at risk of being told you don't listen.

Are you quite sure you haven't obvious clues as to what she really wants, as in obvious to a woman?

Cor I'm worried for you.

Re: Trickey !

'Lets spend the money on the boat instead' sounds like there may have been a big expenditure you havent heard about yet and 'the money' isnt very much at all!
Have a nice Christmas anyway and lets hope all us cynics are wrong.
