Redwing Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just collected my OH from work and mentioned in the car that I have spent a few hours today sorting out stuff to ebay as getting these sheep is cleaning us out money wise I said that I had grouped my books to sell in small batches eg: dog training, horses, travel, garden design, management, self help etc.. and he said... "so you have basically grouped them in to past fads?" I didnt think of it like that but he is spot on! He then asked if that made enough space for the chicken and sheep books What has your OH said that shows he/she knows you completely?

chick wiggle Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 When we were first thinking of getting an eglu, my OH said 'no, get the cube, knowing you, you will want more than three chickens', I said oh i doubt that. Guess what, now i have a cube and another coop and 11 chickens!!! Oh yes, he knows me well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Lucky Redwing. Mine doesn't - although I read him like a book. Which is good - gives me the advantage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitchens Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I got a bowling ball one year ... and yes we did go bowling a fair bit ... but not really what I had in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 40th - one watering can, one revolting dried flower arrangement and a CD he listened to and told me that the first two tracks were the only good ones. He sort of redeemed himself last year for my 50th when he let me have the cube and chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 A couple of years ago he bought me a CD. My birthday was on a Sunday. He purchased the CD at about 6pm on the Saturday evening (I know so because I came across the receipt on his bedside table) so he didn't even try to hide the fact he'd spent ages looking for it He is so rubbish! I got him back though because I bought him a much needed hose pipe for the garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Oops! Do you think they might be related. I just might kidnap Redwing's hubby while she isn't looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 My hubby is a bit hopeless at buying pressies, for Christmas last year he left it a bit late so it didn't arrive until we'd left to go to Harrogate. When we got back I saw it was a big box and I knew it was from one of my fave websites, so I got really excited. Opened it, found loads of brown paper and a nightie at the bottom. Fairtrade cotton, but not very exciting. From now on I will tell exactly what I want for birthdays and Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 He doesn't live with Rosie and I, but The Boy knows me very well and buys me super presents, like that big axe and chicken books. He looked after me after an op went horribly wrong a few years ago and told the docs that if I say 'it hurts' then it must be super-bad as I have a really high pain threshold. He knows that tank driving and a new chainsaw are the best presents. The Boy can't cook though, but is tops at cleaning and washing up after me. He knows me well........

Yorkshire Pudding Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Mine too, he's fab and seems to know what I want/need/will do next before I do. He's lovely and very good at presents etc. In our house it's the other way around, I have trouble fathoming him at times. I'm dreadful at Christmas and birthday presents and am never sure I have got it right, even when I've been spot on! He says that's good - it helps to keep me on my toes!

chocchick Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 When he says something like you're thinking about chickens [or a cute animal] aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i have to put my hands up here, my OH buys me great presents but I never know what to get him, he buys everything he wants as soon as he sees it, so I end up struggling & getting him rubbish presents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Good idea! Do you think he might have a brother He has a sister, but who knows, long lost cousin maybe - his mum lost contact with a sibling when they (him? her?) ran away from home. She has that effect on most people! However he knows me well enough not to have a surprise party for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
