Serious help needed lads. What do I but the delightful Mrs Mick for her birthday. I've already spoilt her at Christmas with the Bay Watch ironing board cover. I was thinking of buying her a lap top so she should Skype me down 'spoons (only on anniversaries mind) but it's a bit pricey. I was hoping to shell out around about a tenner, for something classy that says "I care". I've been trawling around Poundland all morning and they're got nothing - help!

{Ed001's Note - chocolates, you can get 10 different ones from Poundland and look like you are spoiling her.}

Get her a wife survival kit.
Mariglolds
Washing up liquid
Washing powder
Duster
Polish
Windolene
Or you could go all in and include some fabric softener!
Guaranteed no Agro for the next 12 months pal
Should be able to scrape some change from Ya tenner as well.

Get her a picture frame with a pic of her sister in it. That'll show your caringness. Thinking about her close family. Ensure the photo is a profile shot of her bust. I'm sure you've taken a few of those over the years. Problem solved.

to follow up on the ironing board cover theme - how abouut some new hoover bags, a pack of J cloths or a pack of 20 bin liner? They are the gifts that keep on giving.

that say it is the thought that counts, write a list of everything you have thought about buying for her and doing for her. if she is still not happy that shows there really is no pleaseing some people.

oor - if she has a smartphone already - tell her you have 'bought' the skype app for her phone so she can skype you down spoons, install it when shes not looking and as its free you won't have to have spent a penny!

How about a mask made from a photo of her sister - should solve a number of issues Mick - fantasy land.

Thanks for all the suggestions lads, much appreciated. They used to do skimpy kecks with the Leeds badge on them in the club shop years ago. Not sure if they do now but might see if I can get some in her sisters size (small) as they probably don't do parachutes. That should ram the point home nicely.

{Ed001's Note - personally I would avoid club stuff, it is bloody expensive, far too costly to waste on a wife. Save that for the mistress mate....}

Haha, nice one ed. that's why I'm buying them in the sisters size. Just in case!

MM.

{Ed001's Note - still no luck with her then MM? Though I do hear women are put off by desperation, so that might be the problem mate. I can't think what else could cancel out the allure of the shell suit allied to the smell of stale sweat, beer and fags.....}

How about a pair of slippers and a dildo? If she ain't keen on the slippers you can always tell her to go eff herself.
I love the old ones I do!
