*sigh*

You have worked out her method! Throughout the year she comes at me with expensive things she wants – “It’s my birthday present for next birthday” she says.

By the time her birthday actually comes, I have spent a fortune. And the first thing she says in the morning?

“Where’s my birthday present?”

you bought her what…for a special b’day either you really thought she’d want a cleaning machine for her b’day?..you now realise that she’d known about the dyson and lay in wait for your return….meaning that now you’ve to go get a really romantic and expensive present for the surprise

@Ian – It’s called true love [or fear?]. Your brother in law sounds like a sensible man.

@Baino – I once gave her a gold watch. She bitch slapped me and said [and I quote] -

“How am I supposed to do the ironing with this”

And what the hell is a Christmas Beetle? Serves you right for having Christmas in the middle of summer.

Grandad,

You are very extravagant.

My brother in law once gave his wife an extension lead for her birthday that he got by collecting vouchers with Esso petrol. It was to make it easier for her to cut the grass.

Do you remember the TV series ‘Potter’ with Arthur Lowe? Mrs Potter used to get given things like chainsaws.

I LOVE my Dyson, almost as much as my leaf blower but if you bought me one for Christmas I’d bitch slap you to Tuesday. And, it works on dog hair but won’t pick up Christmas Beetles, they have to be gently removed by hand. http://www.ento.csiro.au/ecowatch/Primary/beetles/pages/christmas_beetle.htm

@Sean – I’m not going down that road. Confuscilating hardly describes it.

@K8 – Thanks for that link. It proves we have arrived [twice!].

I’ll say one thing for it though – it may not make the tea, but it’s not bad at sucking up Sandy.

I have a thing for vacuum cleaners. I have always wanted a Dyson but didn’t want to fork over the megabucks to get one. One day….

I won’t be impressed with Dyson until they make one that cooks dinner and washes up afterwards. All for the smart price of €29.99 99 99..

Jim Dyson will LOVE you.
