After thinking long and hard what to buy the wife for christmas, I think I came up with the perfect gift.

For a while now I have not been happy with the standard of my wifes ironing so I decided to treat her to a new iron!

How do you think that will go down on christmas morning?hehe

Isn't that a bit too pricey in these credit-MMGW-crunch times?

An ironing board cover is the perfect gift for a woman...

You have to let them know early doors exactly who the boss is otherwise they get ideas above their station

Are you kidding? Do you know how fking expensive irons can be? I've glanced through the Chav Bible. Are you sure you want to spend all that cash?

I looked for 'er indoors and I'm buggered if I'm going to spend that much on something she hasn't taken for a test drive first.

I'd expect the new iron may see the side of your head, before you see Boxing day. smash

I suggested that she outsource the ironing, and cleaning, at her own expense.

fk me she went for it. No more tram lines on me troosers, and I reckon for an extra tenner the cleaner will do me one.

Happy days....
