12th Night came early

OK only a few days early but it came in the shape of my Hubby. I always love 12th night because I tend to get my belated Christmas present from Hubby as he merges it with our wedding anniversary present. This year being out 5th anniversary he had to pull the stops out and to be honest I was dreading what he was going to come up with.

To others it may sound a cheap way out for Hubby, but it works out better as he also holds off with mum present as well so on Christmas mum and I give gifts and on 12th night Hubby shares his. Well today he decided late afternoon to drag me out of my sick bed to help him choose mums present.  Now, like most other females I have got very wise at dropping the biggest of hints to my Hubby. I leave web pages open and remind him of my favourite nail polishes / perfume /clothes etc, in the hope he gets it right. It has even been known for mum to drag him round the shops on a mission for the teddy bear I have had my eyes on.

Well this time, after we managed a food shop for 12th night, or rather Hubby made the choice in what dead beast or bird he wanted, we headed to the shops. To be honest I was dreading this as he is notoriously undecided in these matters. That said I remind him for at least the 10th time this year what mum's favourite perfume is, and gave up telling the counter attendant what he needed. Then I was unceremoniously pointed in the direction of Starbuck and told to shoo. Not that I needed telling twice I hopped of for a vanilla spiced latte and waited. Excepted this time I was waiting longer for the coffee than the Hubby, he got back to my side faster than I got my coffee in my hand. All the way back to the car I was kept well away from the bag larger than the bottle of mums present.

But my husband has little patience and even less inclination to want to wrap and wait for presents. So having sweeten mum by showing her dead beasts for Sunday dinner she relented and allowed presents earlier. Although I some how think it was more her curiosity than the now contents of our freezer that convinced her. Finally I got presented with my bag and got to see what was hiding in it. I could of squealed, for once with out prompting he had bought me a set of Angel by Thierry Mugler. This year I am now in possession of the comet bottle with eau de toilette that is refillable and the body lotion. All in a lovely blue and black presentation box.

So this year I can breath a sigh of relief, as I have been spoilt without demand and this year I have exactly what I dreamt of.
