Oh the Varmint!
He’s got me again. I
was sure the days of that last hidden present to tease me were over. MTL asked me to choose some earrings and he
would collect them. As usual there were
lots of little gifts and MTL apologised for the messy wrapping as his fingers
aren’t working properly yet and the earrings I had chosen in a lovely gold
little parcel. We both were given lovely
presents which we don’t expect or deserve.
Gradually I cleared the wrapping paper, made a list of what from whom
and dispersed the presents.
The next day I started to think about thank you letters and
spotted two little parcels under the tree which I know weren’t there the night
before: one scruffily wrapped and one similar to the beautiful wrapping from
the jewellers. The scruffy package
contained a beautiful pair of pale pink fluffy long socks and the gold sparkly
package contained a beautiful antique brooch.
I looked up to see MTL with a great big grin on his face.
Pat: “Didn’t they think it odd that you bought two presents?”
MTL: “No they think one’s for you and one for the girl
friend!”

LOL, LOL....Love your dear MTL's sense of humor AND, his devotion...! What a gorgeous pib that is, and the earrings---Beautiful! What fun to find two more presents...!!
Could have been worse he could said "No they think one's for you and one is for the boy friend!"
Very nice gifts! Lucky you!
Oh My Goodness !
Not sure who enjoys the little surprise more, you or your MTL.
It is the little things that make ones life fun !
wahahaha Fluffy pink socks ! a pretty and useful gift gift this time of year !
cheers, parsnip
No wonder he's still your sweetheart, Pat.
Naomi: he gets me every time:) And it's so unfair because he is THE most difficult man to buy for.
Joey: that would have been hysterical:)
Parsnip: socks are always very welcome here. At least I managed to get him a cap I know he'll use and a tie with deer on and a book by Bear Grellis and smellies which he may or may not use.
Z: yup - I'm hooked:)
He is a devil, a very charming, lovely devil. So glad you had a good Christmas, you deserve it, both of you, X
Eryl: thank you. He is a mixture of a saint and a devil:)
I seriously envy his ability to buy you a surprise you like. It's rare I manage it with Maggie. Glad you both had a great Christmas :)
Kim: I'm still waiting to hear what the surprise was for Maggie?
"One for you and one for the girl friend!"
Hilarious!
Beautiful gifts. Have a happy new year.
CC:thank you and a Happy new Year to you:)
Tee hee hee that man of yours is a trip.
I like the way he puts effort into showing how much he loves you. Even after all this time. It's so easy to take love for granted, but he doesn't.
oh I so love you two and your demonstrations of affection ... what fun you have!
GG: he is a treasure:)
Rosneath: we have to make hay while the sun shines:)
