MrsWCA : Come down from the Studio, you have been painting all day
WCA : Yeah, down soon, it is Christmas Eve tomorrow so it needs to dry overnight before I can frame it.
MrsWCA : It is Christmas Eve now. Tomorrow is Christmas Day.
WCA : Oh, about your Christmas present. It might be a little late.
Who knew Christmas was on the 25th this year?!?!?
😂
Another stunning accident... 😂
Oh dear
I get confused and think it’s on the 24th every few years, so you’re not alone.😀
Come down from the Studio
She lets you go
UP somewhere ?
unsupervised ?
I'm calling bullshit on this one
WorldClassDingbat.
Premium quality as ever!
Brilliant!
Twenty quid in a christmas card, signed Best Wishes.
Done.
Panic over.
She has a Picnic BBQ and some antifreeze.
Ever the romantic 😁
Nothing says I love you, or I barely tolerate you, more than limp petrol station flowers at 10pm on Xmas Eve.
Go on, you romantic fool, get thee to Texaco
You’ve still time to make the 24 hour garage
Nothing says I love you like garage forecourt flowers
Edit: beaten to it. Great minds... 😂
Checking Mumsnet for the Parallel Conversation...
"AIBU: DH forgot xmas present"
I doubt if it's any comfort, but I was out shopping just half an hour ago.
Xmas day crept up on me too, I thought it was Saturday, but apparently, that's Boxing Day.

Yeah, I’ve had all this week off, I have to keep checking the date on my watch to remind myself what day it is! Really not very Christmassy at all, although all pressy buying has been done, wrapped, cards sent or delivered, so it’s slobbing out in front of the telly with beer and scotch and nibbles.
Oh, and a Boxing Day run down to Salisbury so my g/f can see her mum and girls to exchange pressies - at least it’ll be dry and we can sit out in the garden at her mum’s place safely.
Squirrel fur coat?
😀
Give her a lifetime's subscription to your YouTube channel, surely that's enough???
Are you Bored Enough = to Watch me hide from my wife?
I was planning an "Are you bored enough to watch me cut my own hair" tomorrow ready for Christmas but it looks like that will have to wait
My missus has been messaging her friends and I feel like I did ok now, one of her friends hubby has managed to get the only present he bought wrong, he got her a pair of Pajamas... 2 sizes too small.
Rookie mistake IMO, never buy clothing unless you're 100% certain on sizing.

That's why the good Lord gave us Zara* gift cards 🙂

I'm already glued to a couple of Mumsnet threads on this issue. It's more riveting than Netflix.
They are slowly building themselves up.
The "leave him he sounds like a d£ckhead" replies have already started...
Can we see it?
I swear there are women on that website who spend their lives trying to break up peoples' relationships! "Leave him he's not worth it". Bloody heck.
Or maybe they are just divorce lawyers trying to drum up more business??
Nice fountain pen and a dropper seat post seems to have gone down well.
I think I married up.
Wife and preceding girlfriend had birthdays on Christmas Eve. So thats 25 years of learning to get the date right.
EDIT: 2 preceding girlfriends. It was explained to me that basically I like to go to parties on Christmas Eve and usually end up with the most drunk woman there...

As long as it comes back up then you're gold!
Top tip: you'll have a pharmacy open on Christmas Day in your area, if you're lucky they'll sell perfume, gift sets and such like 👍
Source: wife works in a local one and had a very relieved gentleman spend £100+ on perfumes on Christmas Day one year, she even gift wrapped them for him!
One woman got a hoover according to mumsnet.
I sold an art work at 8:15am today. The call went something like "Give me what you have bloody got on the wall that I can collect in the next 15 minutes for less than £200"

Oh dear...
I gave my g/f the Countryfile Calendar, and she’s chuffed to bits, she’s complained all year because she didn’t get one from her mum last Christmas, so that was a win!
I also gave her a rose quartz crystal heart and a lapis lazuli bracelet as well.
She’s not someone who expects fancy gifts, thankfully.
Partner and I limited ourselves to £10 spend on each other, excluding Christmas cards.
My purchase came in at £9.99 delivered.
Penny under budget. I win.
(Got to Google her gift to me to price check it. If it's over £10 then I have the moral high ground, if it's way under then I have the moral high ground. Either way I win.)
