Haha, well I guess as Susan has an account on here you can consider that done!
landyacht said "theoretically she is too busy getting the bookwork done before xmas
thats the excuse shes using for not cooking any meals for the last week"
Yep been too busy, have not been on for ages...and look at the mischief his lordship gets up to?
Notice he does not mention all the dud pressies he has purchased for Chrissie or birthdays over the years? thats when he rembers the date!
Actually over the years after receiving many land yacht parts (cushion, sail, ratchet block) I have been quite specific this year in my requests. A new *decent* camping chair (for sitting on the edge of the Lake and not a plastic milk crate!) and some hand cream (brand name included and where to buy).
I was also pretty specific that the broken washing basket trolley that I took to the shed in Feb to get fixed - one child too many had ridden around the back garden - was a repair job and not to be re-badged as a Christmas pressie, and could he please get on with the repair after all its only been 10 months.
Christmas eve a suspicious laundry trolley shaped parcel appears under the tree. I leave the book work to stomp down to the shed to let Paul know that I was NOT amused.
Next morning open suspicious looking package to find it is a new trolley (well newish - found at tip trolley but in better condition that old tip one!) and has been painted rainbow colours by 8 year old daughter with "best mum in the world" across the handle in wobbly letters.
Guess what was this years best pressie? Paul loves it as I eat humble pie every time I hang out the washing
bugger it......Good on ya dad!!
