I was wondering if any of the women drivers on here could help with a Christmas present for the missus. I want to get her an iron as she is always moaning about the one she has now. I have put sellotape over nearly all the bare wires on the mains lead but she still moans. I do not know whether to get her a £4.95 one from the supermarket or get a really good one for up to a tenner.
She deserves a good one as I lost her present last year thanks to my mate. When we left the pub on Christmas eve about half eleven he insisted on going to a club for a quick one. Well I got home about half five on Christmas day morning and went for a kip. When I got up at 7 in the evening I realised I had left her pressie in the club, but it was too late to go back then. It was a shame that because it was a good mop. I would not normally buy something that expensive but it was going cheap from a mate at the market. Only a couple of screws missing from where the mop head fits onto the handle and I am sure she could have fixed that with no bother.
She deserves a good present because despite me losing her present last year she was still kind enough to sleep in the spare room for a few weeks as she must have been coming down with something and she did not want to pass it on to me. Bless her.
So I was thinking of pushing the boat out this year and as well as the iron I was thinking of a new can-opener as the one she uses for taking the tops of my beer bottles is getting a bit wonky and I don’t want her to struggle. Or, as she is getting on a bit now and it is a bit much for her to get the ladders out for doing the upstairs windows, I was also thinking of getting her one of those extending window poles. Or do you think that is spending too much as they cost over a fiver?
