Me and the hubster think the same way - we aren't all "fluffy bunnykins" the rest of the year so the annual Hallmark hearts and flowers would be a bit awkwardly out of character for us.

As he says - if I want to buy you a box of choccies or a new Wii game, why do I have to wait till the middle of Feb to do it?

I told him from the beginning not to buy me flowers. Ever. They get plonked in a vase of water, water dries up, then flowers wilt, die, turn a bit mouldy and they end up with me cursing their long stalks trying to fit the mouldy bits in the bin.

It's cloth-cap-wearing-pigeon-fancying-black-pudding-eating manspeak for his dear lady wife.

i.e. the little lady was supposed to remain indoors cooking his lard and chips and darning his socks while he supped mild ale down t'pub with his fellow cloth-capped comrades.

Still at a loss. God damn made up holidays, they are just a way to get men in trouble and force us to spend cash on useless products.

Well, an iPod - loaded with tracks - is kinda techy but a nice gift. And it's hers, unlike a new Wii game, which is really yours. Y'kna?

Tell her she can wear it when she goes out jogging; it'll be sort of a present for both of you (only four months until Bikini season

)

Here's a link to assist with the visuals.

Or be sweet and get one in gold:

Sweet! Oh darling, how adorable!

I don't understand why you feel forced into this ?
Is anyone standing with a whip behind you or what ?
