    Not got a wife then? They're not cheap to run. £145 is cheap compared to these

    And have you seen the price of handbags?

    Dammit you buggers are all sooooo predictable. I've had my eye on a new kettle for ages but will I get one? No.
    I'll probably get some multi-tool or a kite or boots.

    Mrs C was oggling these not really welly boots as we know them, but waterproof.

    Some permie last year bought his wife a slow cooker.

    I know for a fact she was slow to warm up.

    My old man does his shopping last minute, so it's usually 5 litres of Castrol GTX and a tin of travel sweets for me.

    Money's in short supply this year so I'll be happy if I can earn enough in my evening work to get the kiddies something.

    Reminds me of a friend who a few years back bought a lair for his wife (as in a burial plot in a cemetery), the idea being that when they died, they would be together forever.
    She was none too pleased...

    She's never forgiven me for the year I bought her a torque-wrench.
    It was a good one too..
