Merry Christmas! I was ever so pleased when I found out who my secret Santa was to be! Thanks for making it easy for me not! So I did the decent thing ? and copied Milly?s ? I wish lol! I started at the beginning and read backwards! FJ?s blog is ?The insights of a busy Wife and Mother? Two of the hardest jobs going ? oh and she also has a ?proper? job ?. How? Happily married for 18 years she looks on her husbands idiosyncrasies ( shouting at the TV ) with a kind hearted affection and only a slight concern for the location of his marbles ;) We also know that she has never fallen asleep at work, but as she has never blacked out from drinking or pole danced with the festive season well nigh here, there is always room for improvement! Slightly worrying is her fear that The East Anglian Regiment may pop round for the hols and she may be caught short in the catering department ? don?t worry, it happens to the best of us ;) Aware of her place in the scheme of Christmas she will happily let hubby place the Fairy on the pointy bit and grin and bear any asides he comes out with! Infact reading more and more of this blog, there is just one thing that shines through all the travelling around to visit shows and the nursing doled out to various members of her family is the fact that she is a very happy person who has had struggles and still lets the love she has for her family show in every thing that she does! <p> <small> <a href="http://modone1966.blog.co.uk/2008/12/18/secret-santa-faffajane-5243004/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> Comments

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping

This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford :

Dear Mrs. Murray ,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.
Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme.

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels.

12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

And; last, but not least:

14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'
