The Girlfriend turned to me as she was leaving the house this morning and said "what do you want for Christmas?"
Quick as a flash, I looked up from my laptop and OOF, and said
"V6 cambelt kit, please!"
She gave me one of THOSE looks and left the house. I think I might be getting socks this year.

If it's what you want, then whats the problem? I got a trolley jack and axle stands last year.

She just doesn't understand. The minute I start talking about the mig, she loses interest. She can't think why I would want a cambelt kit for christmas!

Tell her if it makes her feel better, you'll buy her a new vacuum cleaner. :y

I agree. I'd get better use out of a cambelt kit than a Wii game, for example. ::)

Exactly. We both know someone who bought Mrs DTM an iron for Christmas a while back. A very nice iron as well. Just what every girl needs I would have said.
Women. Can't live with them, can't shoot them.

Me neither.
It was a useful present that she can get enjoyment out of every single day. I think thats really sweet and loving. I never knew Mr DTM had that level of romance in him...

Either you lot like living dangerously, without getting your leg over, or you need some serious lessons in romance! ;D
Reckon mr DTM is still paying for that particular trick! ;D

Me no understandy the opposite sex...
...whats wrong with such a nice gift? I think it was such an excellent present, that as previously said, she would get daily use out of. And, bless, I'm sure it would remind her of his loving, romantic ways everytime she used it.

Marks DTM I estimate..I'm the same ;D :y
Personally I believe that the gifts must be somewhat useful :-/
But women much prefer things emotional :-/

It's a hiding to nothing even trying.
If Mrs. KW were to purchase me a 2 post lift for the garage so I could change her oil without having the crawl under her car and risk being crushed, I'd be over the moon.
As was mentioned last night, actually, I did get away with a hostess tray last year. It's great for keeping her wonderful cooking take-aways warm.

I can fully understand Mr DTM's shock and surprise at the reaction - I've been there myself, after having spent ages deciding on a useful present, only for it to be ill received on the day. To this day cannot understand her point of view - she has had lots of use from those jumpleads ::)

Now me I would love a cambelt kit for Christmas...............................................providing a 54 plate 3.2 Elite was attached to it!! :D :D :D ;)

They just don't appreciate all the effort we go to to try to find something both useful and "from the heart". There are so many other things we could be doing at 3:30PM on Christmas eve, but we make the sacrifice nonetheless.
