We tried to do surprise presents honest......

[simon the viking]

We said this year we would do surprise presents..... I showed too much interest in watches in Tk Maxx as a subtle hint....Mrs V looked and then wandered off.... and she said today I didn't get you one from there but I need to order something online.... Where is it being delivered to? I asked because we are never in..... Oh no I'm reserving it.... and collecting it..... So that's from Argos then..... one too many glasses of wine later she lets slips the brand..... So I'm getting a Rotary watch from Argos....

Then I said ..... "you will never guess what I've bought you in a million years as its so random...."

"I bet you've adopted a goat for me then.......you know I like goats....."

Only me and the animal charity woman know this information so how the F***K she did she guess this? I couldn't deny it as the total look of astonishment on my face told her she was right!

All I could reply is.... "well I'm not telling you its name......" I have bought some goat related merchandise to with it (which I am keeping secret) and she is (honestly over the moon) really happy and was hoping I would adopt one for her..... He's quite close so we can visit him a few times next year then transfer the adoption in to our son and neice's joint names.....


so no surprises AGAIN this Christmas.... but we are both dead chuffed with the others choices (and I ask again HOW DID SHE GUESS!!!!!!!)

We both create wish lists on Amazon and buy presents from the wish lists.

The thing is I forget what I put in my wish list and I don't revisit it so my Christmas presents are surprises.

Normally with us its just along the lines of oh just get me some trainers (me) and pajamas/clothes (her).... but this year we said lets do surprises.... Oh well at least I reckon I'll love the watch

You adopted a kid?

Me and our lot are doing a secret santa type bollix this Christmas which will save me a bleedin' fortune.

Don't forget to wrap your present properly.

Inkjet ink is expensive though. Probably best to print it at work though, if you can get away with it

My brother and I have had a competition for years to get each other fun, but bizarre presents

This has ranged from having a parking meter installed in his drive, Klingon language tapes, and a video on how to manage goats on a small holding
Never anything expensive, but simply fun... and always eagerly anticipated

Myself and Mrs Ian really struggle to think what to buy each other as we already have everything that we need or want. Were not into buying pressies just for the sake of it. So we usually go blow a wad of money at our local Michelin starred restaurant. Full blow out with a nice expensive bottle of Champers.

Adopting a goat would be met with total astonishment here, they would rather eat them.

I'm easy to buy for, bike stuff or whisky and i'm happy. I have a right nightmare with the Mrs though as its her birthday on the 28th of December, although I do push the boat out and spoil her.


Bloody love Christmas me!
