28 Not Out.

[snuffer]

This coming Wednesday (29th Oct.) myself and Mrs snuffer celebrate, if that's the word, our twenty eighth wedding anniversary. When she asked if I would like anything in particular as a gift, I asked for a load of farmyard manure. No,the request for manure wasn't meant as a metaphore for the last twenty eight years. It's just a useful pressie that can be put to excelent work on the lottie. Need to transplant some rhubarb.

He and me have long since stopped buying each other pressies (and cards) - it's not that we don't care, far from it - we just felt that we bought just cos it was expected ....however, your request is just top drawer

oh and congrats - do you get a Good Conduct and Long Service Medal

[squashysu]

well a huge congrats to you both x cor i dont think (in fact i know) there is no way me and Mr squashy will make 18 years at the mo lol ! (16 so far!!!!)

as for the manure, great idea, mr squashy would say i was full of that already,

[HeyWayne]

Congratulations dude - and good luck with your manure request. Horse or cow?

LadyWayne and I will celebrate our 4th (although we've been together for 12) on the 6th, and I was looking to see what the various "traditional" gifts are:

Wedding anniversary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Found some of the "modern" ones a bit laughable - this year I'm supposed to buy an appliance as a modern gift - maybe that's why there are so many divorces these days?

And if you really wanted to set the following year off to a bad start...how about some linen tea cloths to go with your chosen appliance!!??

Snuffer,Congrats on making it all the way to 28 years!I'd say enjoy the manure,but tis possibly not quite the right word??I think it's a great idea to buy useful gifts.(but guys NO irons!!)

[Mrs Dobby]

Congrats Suzie! You get less nowadays for murder! Lol!

Its our 8th Wedding Anniversary on Friday, we got married on Samhain / Halloween, only 10 days after we got engaged! Still just as madly in love as we were when we got married, in fact I couldnt imagine life without Mr D!

[piskieinboots]

Congrats Suzie!

wot'd I do

[Mrs Dobby]

wot'd I do

Ooops, sorry, I meant congrats snuffer, still not fully awake yet, must remember to engage brain before posting!

[piskieinboots]

actually I have been married for 34 years - so congrats are justified - although not 34 years to the same man....congrats are for finding Snowdrop

[Flummery]

Me 'n Him - 38 years. We still can't imagine anyone else we could live with!

[kirsty b]

Congratulations snuffer. MAnure seems a perfectly reasonable request. I asked for compost for xmas last year and he looked at me as though I was barking!!

Me an him are celebrating surviving ten years next year by actually getting married!! He drives me mental at times, but wouldn't be without him.

[smallblueplanet]

Congrats on your enduring togetherness! Apparently 28th anniversary is 'orchids' not manure!

[Rhona]

Congratulations!

Me and Mr R have been together for eight years this year and married for four of those, this anniversary, which is the weekend before Christmas. I think he's absolutely wonderful, and believe it more so every day.

[SlugLobber]

Wow! That's quite an achievement! Congratulations! Nothing wrong with manure as a pressie if you ask me. My best pressies in the past have included a galvanised wheelbarrow and a winter's supply of haylage for my pony. Both were much appreciated (although the haylage wasn't vey tasty to me!).

[Flummery]

I asked for compost for my birthday last year. Better than people buying you stuff that ends up at the back of the cupboard. Hope you're doing something romantic too?
