        she will have been dropping little hints for the last 3 weeks about what she wants and because you are so stressed at work you will not have been listening to her and wont have picked up on them anyway!

        We women like to see that you've made an effort, it doesn't have to cost a fortune, like going out for a picnic - but doing all the arranging and food preparation yourself and not leaving it up to her - failing that vast quantities of flowers, sparkley stuff and Lush products always work.

        Oh and if you do go for flowers - go to a florist and request a bouquet with some of the types of flowers she had in her wedding bouquet - DONT get them from a petrol station!

        Last anniversary (18th) I got a lovely swarovsky necklace - chosen by Mr P himself and he got a DSi
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          What about a nice pearl necklace?

                  HAB is so bad at picking up on hints that ex-mrs HAB use to write it down for him. One year she wanted loads of smelly stuff so she wrote a list, told me what store to go to, and even which assistant. After the US markets have closed, HAB wanders down to the shop and seeks out the assistant. She looks at me and goes, “You’re HAB, mrs-HAB has told me to expect you”. I give up at this point and say, “Get the lot. I don’t stand a chance with you lot ganging up against me”. A few minutes later and several hundred dollars lighter, I get to go home. I think the assistant was on her cell to ex-mrs HAB before I had even left the store.

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    sounds sad but ask outright what the woife wants and then add a little something extra as a surprise.
