The guy living in my house asked me if I thought an exercise bike was a good idea to get his missus for xmas, I fought the urge to have a cruel but funny laugh at his/her expense and told him NO NO NO don�t do it. He genuinely thought it was a brilliant idea as she was getting �a bit of a fat arse�. He has since bought her a fridge !! Lucky girl

he should have got her one, irish lads are generaly in far better shape(probably because we spend more time playing sports etc) than irish women when it comes to their bodies anyhow. Too right, he should have gotten her an exercise bike.

On that theme I know a lad who got his girlfriend and now wife, a spare tyre for Christmas and the other year he got her a radiator.

Had to buy herself the chanel allure already to apologise for drunken behaviour Friday night!! Didn't do anything too serious but still felt the full brunt of her rage!! So thats one gift idea eliminated. A very expensive **** up

To be honest I've never heard of Christer Unted, Christpool or Christween.

I need ideas fast

Booked 10 days in New York going on the 3rd January earlier on in the year with hotel in Time Square and said to herself that we would only do Christmas for the young lad this year and buy something nice for each other while over there and the answer I got was she is not going unless there is something for her under the tree Christmas morning that I was just being mean

Was thinking about perfume but couldn't find anything called "GET SOME SENSE"

**atfconline** · 02/12/2008, 11:56 AM

But she didn't say you couldn't go, did she?

There are indeed. Many of which require Batteries, Mr Battery.

If you are in or around Limerick there is a shop called silverwood on Williams street that does really nice unusual silver jewellery much nicer than the stuff in the bigger stores (and way cheaper).

I got the missus a nice bracelet and chain with pendant for 150 euro, she has also got kings of leon and Rodrigo y gabriel live in japan cd�s and a dara o brian DVD. Ill get her a set of those scented candles she likes and that should do her.

She said she is going to get me some sexy lingerie but I think ill just feel uncomfortable in it.
