Wife wasnt impressed

she would appreciate it more if it was a surprise xmas present. You've blown it now! LOL

Good try though

Hi Troopy

Go sit on the bench with No 1 and Bware... :)

I have the opposite problem.

Out drive the last couple of times and the GPS was playing up a bit (probably also hitting wrong buttons) and she has asked if I need a new GPS.

Then when in shops last week she again asked if I need a new GPS and also offered to buy one. Now I know I was awake and very alert but me thinks there is something behind this, or maybe she appreciates me. Fool or what? Should I rush out and pick out the one I want?

Problem is theere are so many choices these days but I mainly use for off road mainly for tracks and hard making definite selection but looking at colour screen and may end up with Garmin 76C.

I was considering up to about $800. Any ideas?

Buy her a 4WD drivers course for Christmas , then she will ask you for a diff lock .

Yup..isn't it strange- 'They' have no idea about priorities.

Just work on this principle ....... "It's always easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission".

well I will stick up for the sisterhood (because I have to) and say they probably have thier reasons, like a lack of diamonds or needing something new for the house.
However having said that I have several things I would like to get my other half for xmas so maybe you blokes can help me work out which one,

winch?
gps and software for laptop?
roof rack?
lift kit? (not sure whether his or hers yet)

what do you think he would like best?

cackles

I would trade her in.
Then you can get what you want without the issues attached. ;-)

Then buy her a new iron and washing machine, and possibly a dishwasher for christmas then treat youself to a diff lock. She'll understand eventually.

geeezes i never expect much more than a xmas card...cos i'm always in the sheit...god only knows how you lot get what you do.......

Mine bought me a new all stainless steel BBQ for our wedding anniversary.

I got a Codan NGT but had to pay for the snorkel myself .... go figure:)

I remembger many years ago first trip to Fraser Isalnd Sept 1998. Fathers day what to get. A new fising rod, reel line etc but as there was 2 children had to buy two now better half or worse depending what mood I am in cant use them both at the same time so I get to go fishing as well. Well thaough out present I thought.
Cheers Robyn

Now that we've been married twice as long as you get for murder, I've decided that I am sick of my xmas presents that she's bought me for the last 10 years.
This year I'm going to buy HER some socks and undies !

Hell I'm all for the buy first and leave it to a" need to know basis" IE let them find it later ........... Tried the ask fisrt thingie that was painfull.

Worked well on my fishing gear over the years LOL I just buy a new rod and reel place in rack last one was there at least a year before she spotted it, not a lot i could say really ....hell lady its been there for ages thats an old outfit ....she just gives me that look ....... "i know yeah bullsh&tin me but cannot prove it" I just smile and move on LOL.

Albiet I'm working on a plan to air con the house that way she will stay inside and I'll fit out the 4x4 as the good lady is not into that stuff, WHICH is a real pity I must say :( but that here choice.

Hell its all fun and games till someone gets hurt :) or caught lol pain only last a short time, boys toys last for ages and takes away the pain:)

Already have the 40 l Engel, she wants a dual battery system next, then rock sliders/side steps, roof console to put her handbag, then I can do whatever I want.

I always seem to win arguments about the car because she doesn't know what each thing is! I just say "the GQ needs it" and that's the end of it. Mind you I've already bought her a CT, made her a kitchen for it and spent several weekends modifying it just for her.
