What are you getting the other half for Christmas?

[Bjornebye]

Who did the santa hats on the avatars last time?

[SammyAftershave]

Phone sex with Michael Owen.....I'm a romantic old fool.

Everyone did their own.

[JohnnyH]

An Armani watch and an exercise bike.

 

Proper romantic eh?!

 

 

"Hey baby - It's time to lose some weight!"

[Champ]

It is.

 

When you're 8.

Repped for Christmas hating by Grinch. Excellent

[Elite]

A swift kick in the flaps.

[Fowlers God]

Over the last couple of months she has been talking a lot about old video games she used to enjoy playing so I have bought her a PS 1 and about 30 games and a PS2 with all the old GTA's (she likes video games by the way) a litre of gin so chocolates and perfume etc.

"Hey baby - It's time to lose some weight!"

Haha I can just see how that would go down. On the plus side, she'd never catch me after I said it...

you old softie.

[Paulie Dangerously]

We never go mad at christmas so she's getting:

 

From me:

A Phillip Kingsley Showstopper hair set (from my mate in the pub who sometimes stumbles across things at suspicious discounts)

A nice statement necklace from TJs

A "Stress Paul" novelty toy - not like that

A belgian hot chocolate set

 

From the baby:

A pandora "mum" charm

You could always look at Screwfix, Machine Mart, Maplin, B&Q, and probably Argos for reasonably affordable one's.

 

Thanks

 

What price are you looking at? More towards £25 or £60/70?

 

And I guess do you mean a pointer to measure distance or a level for putting shelves etc... Up?

 

Now, you're a man who knows about such things, aren't you?

 

I'm definitely in the 'buy cheap buy twice' camp but if there is a tool out there, not necessarily the industry leader, that can provide an accurate level for the building of man sheds and the like along the lines you've suggested that might be worth investigating. So far he's got a book he bought himself

I really like the Stanley ones. Sold loads of them in the past and hardly had any problems with them, and when I did it was off builders who were buying the DIY one and then hammering it on a building site. £69.99 is a very good price for it from Screwfix and if anything does go wrong with it they're good at sorting it for you ( they're owned by B&Q, or at least the parent company )

It comes with a bracket or you can just stick it on a shelf or a ladder and it self levels. Watch the video and see what you think.

Amazon also do it with a ceiling to floor pole for a bit more which is easier to use for certain jobs.

We use the Bosch 5-point lasers at work for levels and they are pretty decent. Not sure on price though. Presuming that's what you're after and not a Disto?

Christmas comes early for me, divorce is finalized for Dec 17......

 

My daughter's birthday is Dec 18 and the cheeky middle child is expecting two presents.

[Karl_b]

So, is this the official start of Christmas on the GF?

I believe that's Malarkey's call to make and Stu's to argue with.

[General Dryness]

It is.

 

When you're 8.

Yeah I was like that as well. Just wait till the bairn comes along, then give him/her a couple of years till they're old enough to know whats going on. Then the christmas spirit comes back.

 

Got the missus a pampering day at a day spa. I normally buy more tangible things like technology or jewellery, so I thought I'd try something a bit different this year.

It too early to think about buying presents. I'll start browsing around the 22nd.

 

[JagSquared]

We're going away for Christmas so she explicitly said no presents.

 

Now many a man have fallen in this trap before and while I do believe she genuinely won't get me anything i have got her a little present. Which is basically 4 clear coasters that you can insert your own pictures into. I've then printed 4 pics of us and added. It's cost about a £10 in total.

 

Hopefully that will earn me a few brownie points.

 

I appreciate

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I'm single, so I'll be buying myself a plush new wanking sock.

[Lee909]

Just bought the most important person in my life a couple of christmas gifts.

 

 

Ordered from Thailand thursday evening delivered to work on Monday. Great service

Bad news old chap. Unless those coasters are edged in 18c gold, and studded with a real diamond, you're fucked.

[Captain Turdseye]

It was her birthday the other week and I bought her some books, pyjamas, chocolates and perfume.

 

For Christmas she'll get books, pyjamas, chocolates and perfume.

 

Not long now until Mothers Day when the kids will buy her books, pyjamas, chocolates and perfume.
