i have a friend who is as tight and self obsessed as you can believe, to the degree his 'the world owes me a living' attitude is a great form of comedy to me an the wife. cruel? maybe, but its funny.
so, last year we thought he had excelled himself when he bought his wife a toaster for christmas, just a toaster mind you, nothing else. and the only reason he bought that was that their existing one stopped working a few days before the 25th meaning he could'nt have toast with the fried breakfast his wife makes him every day.
incredibly though this year he has done better. he stopped by yesterday and told us that he had got his wife an excellent gift and best of all if had not cost a penny... you could'nt make this up... its a jamie oliver recipe book that someone had emailed him.
this has got me thinking, what can i find that is nasty and above all free, in a similar vien to the jamie oliver book, that i can pop into my wife's pressie stash as a joke.
anyone have a good suggestion?
