DVD boxsets of her favourite TV shows, a hot air balloon ride for our first anniversary, extremely thoughtful and well-written love letters and the usual chocolates and other assorted gifts I can't seem to remember right now.

Undies?
Or is she not that kinda girl..? and I don't mean because she doesn't wear them, I mean because they're not her kinda thing.

Did the undies thing last year
very nice, posh, expensive lavendar coloured bra, panties and stockings from Agent Provocateur.

EDIT and I've also done mix CDs, before you suggest that!

Good stuff
Agent P is what I was going to suggest. Also Dita von Teese has just lauched her new stuff for Wonderbra!

Dita Von Teese frightens me
she looks like an anaemic russian who fell into a fancy dress shop

But her undies

Sorry, I'm not much help at the mo, I'm searching for aeronautic defence and space companies, my brains not on gifting... I'll have a think.

How are Wonderbras nowadays?
I never much liked the shape of them years ago...

better than they used to be it has to be said. They don't die when you wash them either which is handy! :D

I will bear that in mind
however we are so skint that I'm not going to be buying expensive presents for a while.

I imagine that the next one will be sparkly and ring-shaped

indeed
was at a wedding of some old friends this weekend, and got asked by almost everyone there whether it would happen soon....
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 15:57, Reply)

I can imagine your speech at the wedding to be the single smuggest moment of all time.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 15:59, Reply)

it's not going to be good
I can tell you that much. The more I go to weddings the more I dread having to give a speech on the day of mine.

I'm just pleased that I'm just enough of a bastard that while I have friends, none of them would consider me for the position of best man.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:01, Reply)

The best wedding speaches are honest,
the one's that try to be funny usualy make me cringe.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:14, Reply)

wise words
all of the ones at the wedding I was at on Saturday managed to be hilarious as well as really quite touching which was nice.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:44, Reply)

Aww
That's annoying when that happens. 'No pressure or anything but wheeeeeen??' People have started on me now 'When are you going to have a baby?' my response is either 'fuck off, that's when' or the slightly more polite 'Not til I'm 30!!!'
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 21 Sep 2009, 15:59, Reply)

Then you'll start saying "Maybe when I'm about 35"
Then you'll hope they get bored asking.

That's the plan! :D
I wanna dog first, and I want to go on many holidays, I'm too selfish for a kid right now, I'll happily admit that!!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:05, Reply)

I agree with this
apart from the right now bit.

I certainly couldn't afford to have one now, and I can't see any time in the near or even mid-distant future when I could.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:06, Reply)

That's the thing
They're so goddamn expensive, plus my brother is 23 and still living with my mum and dad along with his girlfriend, they never fuck off, you end up paying for them forever!!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:08, Reply)

exactly
the only reasons I can think of why I might want to have kids are completely selfish ones.
1. to look after me when I'm old
2. related to 1. so I don't get too lonely when I'm old and everyone is dying

what I find particularly annoying is that most people tell me I'd be a good dad. This proves that they don't actually know me at all. You would be hard pressed to find someone more impatient and less tolerant of mess of the kind produced by a baby.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:12, Reply)

Haha
That's the thing. Only you know if its going to be right for you, sod what anyone else thinks, they're all titheads anyways!

Plus once you're really old your kids would just stop you doing fun things like wandering around throwing jam at people and hitting everyone with sticks, they'll put you in a home!!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:19, Reply)

very true!
and I shall use that as a defence. "What do you know, you're a tithead. What's more, someone on the internet called Flim-flam agrees!"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:22, Reply)

Damn straight
and if they still disagree, let me know, I'll THWAK them with a frying pan! :D

That's such an incredibly rude question to ask.
The correct responses are:
a) What a rude question! You must be so embarrassed that you asked that.
or
b) Well, trouble is, sperm just tastes too good.

as these are both excellent
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:05, Reply)

Hahahaha
I am totally going to say your option b) next time someone asks. That or I might just start carrying around a frying pan and when people ask I will THWAK them in the face, they'll soon learn.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:06, Reply)

or
try and summon up a tear and say 'I can't have children' - that shuts the fuckers up sharpish.
however, response b) is a very good one.
( ascorbate, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:27, Reply)

using that has crossed my mind
some good friends of ours actually can't though, so I'd feel bad saying that
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:33, Reply)

so?
good friends of ours were told they couldn't have kids, and we just found out they're expecting - it's a medical miracle, or something like that. which is what you can claim if you do find yourselves sprogged up.
( ascorbate, Mon 21 Sep 2009, 16:43, Reply)
