    It's really easy to remember when christmas is...just add 3 months to when shops start putting up decorations

    Simple trick:

    Spontaneously buy her presents all year round. She daren't go mad if you forget anything then - you can really lay on the guilt trip.

    The woman will remember whether it's her job or not...If it is her job, she'll remember, but if it isn't her job she'll remember anyway just to make the man feel bad when he doesn't!!!

    I know this is a low down, dirty trick, and I will deny that I ever suggested it, but...

    if you strategicly place the anniversary shortly after her birthday, then you are not likely to forget both. If you forget the first, she will remind you that you did, and you won't forget the second. Also, others are likely to care about her birthday, too, and will do something to remind you.

    Also, if you place the anniversary after your own birthday... well... you're golden.

    Isn't there a fairy or something that magically does the laundry.

    Yip, the sock fairy. Take's my crumpled clothes from the floor, they re-appear a few days later washed and ironed in the drawer.

    She's a lot less frightening than the tooth fairy, who apparently sneaks around the house at night stealing childrens teeth. What does she do with them you might ask. Maybe she has a big castle made of teeth. *Shudder* scary thought.

    Don't even get me started on Goldilocks and the three bears. As far as I'm concerned, house breaker burglarises home, steals food and vandalises beds. Think how violated the poor bears must have felt.

    ...lol......

    Goldilocks is clearly quilty of tampering with a natural eco-system and disrupting the denizens of that system. Has the little strumpet got no shame.

    Dude l have this figure. The cleaning fairy only ever works when there is a female in the house MY wife is away at a conference, and l'm telling you those clothes are starting to stack up on the bedroom floor. Jes, l might have to put them in the clothes hamper if this keeps up....in a couple of days or so.

    Have sorted the dishes though, got our local hardware place to slip in a dish washer, since the normal one is away with the fairies

    Some of the fairy tales have become to Politically Correct.

    I was reading little red riding hood (not to be confused with a Russian contraceptive) to Jemma, and in this version the wolf shoves the granny into a cupboard and at the end is chased off by the woodchopper never to be seen again.

    Now when I were a lad, I'm pretty certain the wolf ate the granny, then the woodcutter chopped the wolfs head off and let granny out.

    Additionally the poem "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe" now ends with "she kissed them all soundly and sent them to bed." In our version it was "she whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed."

    And while I'm on a rant, another story book has Hansel & gretl getting lost in the forest and at the end being found by the parents.

    Now if I recall the parents couldn't afford to feed the kids so they abandoned them in the forest, then the kids went on to live off the gingerbread house (and no-doubt to die of terminal tooth decay).

    Don't know why l never got one installed years ago.............yes l do.................l don't do dishes

    YOur right with the PC story books. I mean they tried to ban NOddy down here because he was gay and would have an adverse affect on the kiddies. Give me a break, kiddies see politicians everyday, after that what possible effect could a gay puppet have on em.
