Imagine the scenario - my wife is getting ready to go out to have coffee with one of her friends to celebrate said friend's birthday . I'm hoovering as good husbands do to help out - find a lidl's bag leaning against the front door - the fact that it's a lidl's bag is pertinent - we keep a lidl's bag in the kitchen down by the fridge to put recyclables in prior to putting out when full in to the wheelie bin - the bag is filled with what looks like the usual cardboard etc - I dutifully take it round to the bin and stamp it down - ( at this point you can guess the outcome
) I go back in the house to find my wife ready to go but looking around for her friend's birthday present which she had put in a bag and left by the door
You know that moment when you know you're in deep doodoo :roll:
I admitted what I had done and retrieved said bag complete with present and screwed up card - she had bought this fancy wire candleholder thingee from Amazon that she knew her friend would love ( if it was straight ! ) I had to unbend it and touch in the bare wire showing with white paint - actually not a bad job if I say so myself
I have some serious grovelling to do tonight ( and for the next few days ) to make amends !
