SWMBO Xmas Present

[Why Not]

It's so simple:
Take a trip to Ireland and stay in Ballyfin, Co. Laois (www.ballyfin.com‎)
or else Ashford Castle, Cong, Co. Mayo. (www.ashfordcastle.com)

Life is about experiences, not necessarily more stuff.

Mine is getting a PB Level 2 course. Then I can happily be demoted to crew, and laugh at her everytime she makes a cock up of docking......payback time!

I do agree with Medskippers suggestion of Pandora charm bracelet though. My wife has had hers for around 6 years now, and is still happy with new charms when I run out of other ideas.

Spare a thought for me guys. Not only do I have to find something for SWMBO for Xmas but also for her birthday 2 weeks before Xmas. Bloody inconsiderate to be born so close to Xmas, I say

What about the JFM sewing machine Mike?

So she can knit scatter cushions and cockpit covers for my boat? Excellent idea!

Exactly. How can she be disappointed with an £800 gizmo?

 

[Medskipper]

so you are still in the trade

Not at all, just giving my opinion on the trade I know as I am sure you would do if someone asked about something you know a lot about? FWIW I never stocked Pandora!

Shoes.. They never seem to have enough..

Yep, I agree, in fact I've just ordered my boss a pair of Orca Bay boat shoes...

Lot about nothing? I'm sure that's not true! Hope she likes the bracelet, you are set now for the next few years worth of presents! Loads of brownie points

yes I'm in the same position, birthday a couple of weeks before Xmas, thought I'd combine her present this year and get her something expensive? I'm sure she would love a nice big chart plotter!

My most successful point builder of 2015 was the Apple iwatch if your SWMBO into any outdoor pursuits, or is applecentric, they are stylish? and good fun.

Think this one wins for me, she relies on her iphone as a diary & loves her itunes etc.

She'll love it, sport version is fine @ £299, get the 38mm version. Txt, diary and email notifications are awesome and the apple maps function is great fun. They've just bought out a fancy night stand for the watch which is worst a look....

Perhaps give her a free pressie, namely that you will promise to never use the phrase SWMBO again, a pathetic " boaty forum " word that I wish could be dropped

Never seen Rumpole then ?
I think you will find it used on the forum in the context of Rumpole, so amusing to those with multiple brain cells.

But back to the real world in 2015, it's a pathetic boaty word, speaks volumes that to appreciate the funny side you would have to remember Rumpole from the late 70s and 80's

Ah I see what you've done there

Clever use of irony
