My normal is your strange !
Morning, all!
Just got to go out and buy a potato, an onion and a tomato for wifey.
Will catch up with you all in a little while.
So sorry. I've been there and it's a bad feeling when people don't like their gifts.You're lucky, I can't swim.
The jigsaw I got her (she asked for one, she liked jigsaws) was too difficult and I didn't help her enough with it.
The dvd's were not quite the ones she wanted, likewise the books (though she did finally admit she liked a couple of those).
Everything was not quite right, nearly but no banana.
Oh, well, Tidgy was happy with her presents.
I wish I had such an agreement. Seriously. I get screwed over every Christmas.So sorry. I've been there and it's a bad feeling when people don't like their gifts.
When we were first married, Joel and I agreed that trying to surprise each other with the "perfect" gift is way too stressful. So we send each other the links to the SPECIFIC item we want, so that all the other has to do is make the purchase. It works well for us: we still enjoy the anticipation of getting what we want, and at least for us, does not take away from the joy of the gift.
And vice versa, which is just how it should be.My normal is your strange !
She always gets a tangerine in her stocking, as do Tidgy and I (even though Tidgy can't eat it, she plays football with hers.)Christmas presents

Goodbye.................and hello !Hello.........And good bye
But I and wifey both like the thought that counts thing, or we did.So sorry. I've been there and it's a bad feeling when people don't like their gifts.

Good morning to you, Noel!Morning everyone

This is the first time it's been criticized and I am always happy with her gifts as i am aware of the thought that's gone into it, even if the gift itself is not ideal, it's fine by me, I wouldn't dream of telling her something wasn't great and certainly never that everything was wrong!
Very hurtful.
But this seems to be it at the moment, criticizing everything i do, taking the opposite opinion for everything, being awkward and misunderstanding everything I say, turning the simplest things into a debate or an argument.
i'm getting so tired of it all.
I just want a quiet life.
