Sunday lunchtime
Me, looking through Observer magazine, "Oh that's a nice dress ... and it's only £45" (clothes featured in the Observer being regularly extravagantly priced)
Him "Well it's nearly your birthday"
Me "It's three months until my birthday .... besides I know what I want for my birthday."
Him "What?"
Me "A hatchet ... and a fireguard"
Is it just us that has these sorts
of conversation?

I'd go for the dress as a birthday present and buy
my own hatchet!
Ms Exlibris I'd go for the dress as a birthday present and get him to
buy the hatchet and fireguard for the household
Madame Fifi Get the frock Benton.
Mrs Jeremy Definitely go for the dress! A hatchet and fireguard could be considered
essential items and therefore should be bought by Fester regardless of your
birthday!

I’m
not sure whether it was on this occasion or another that I commented I would
quite like the dress in the Observer but paying that much for a frock would be terribly extravagant.
“Extravagant! You! The
last thing you are is extravagant. You’re
the only woman I know that has money for looking at purposes.”
May I remind you, gentle reader, that Fester is a Yorkshireman.
