Smug Husband Who Thought He Had Christmas Cracked Now Having Second Thoughts
2017-12-19
For weeks, a Bramley man has been telling everyone who’d listen that he’d already done his Christmas shopping, but now he’s had his confidence knocked and been forced to think again.
“I thought I’d get it done early this year” 46-year-old Tom Davies told the Bugle “I usually get my daughter to buy Mrs D’s presents but she was away at Uni, so I just got on with it. She’s back now and asked me what I’d bought this morning. When I told her, she just gave me this look which I interpreted as a mixture of pity and contempt with just a feint undertone of loathing. I don’t understand it because the missus is always banging on about not wasting money so I thought I’d get her things she really needed.”
As the Bugle went to press Tom was being frog marched to the perfume counter at House Of Fraser at Meadowhall and daughter Haley, was putting out an appeal for any readers who could make use of a Ladyshave, a year’s supply of deodorant, or a deluxe membership to Weightwatchers.
