Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

When asked what I would like for my birthday (Easter weekend) I suggested another week away on the slopes Very Happy [it would only be the second this year Sad ] . The reply that came back was that the money would be better spent on a new... washing machine. Shocked

This - from someone that:
a) isn't (obviousley) as hooked with skiing yet as I am snowHead
b) doesn't know where the damn machine is - and if he did - wouldn't know how to start it

So come on you lot - please put together some words of wisdom that I can use to bribe and/or persude him to change his mind Crying or Very sad

Is this someone suggesting a washing machine as your birthday present? How romantic!

Either

a. Dump him and get a more snow aware model ?

or

b. Point out that it is your birthday and that he can have the washing machine for his instead ?

Michelle, ask for an iron instead? (To wax your skis with, obviously)?

Or just tell him you're organising a girls' skiing trip with your friends, since he doesn't want to ski with you. To Andorra, and it's going to be wild. Repeatedly drop hints about it being the Ibiza on snow, and how most people just go there for apres-ski one-night-stands and the like.

Sure he'll want to take you to a nice "quiet" resort himself in no time...

Michelle, men - what are they like?! Presents I've had over the years include a food blender/chopper/slicer thingy (like, I do a lot of baking ...), duvet cover, landline telephone, iron, personal organiser.....the list is endless.

I made sure of a good one this year though - it's a 'significant' birthday for me & we've been living together for 10 years ..... masopa's not the only one buying diamond rings, but mine's an eternity Very Happy - have to wait till my birthday in Banff to actually get it on my sticky finger though Very Happy

My method was not to be subtle - it doesn't work....I said - this is what I want, & poor guy had no choice Twisted Evil

Cathy you must know my wife, she used the same not so subtle approach, chose a ring, produced MY wallet from her bag and handed over MY plastic. Thereafter I had no choice but to sign for it. Twisted Evil

Whether the washing machine is actually meant to be as a present, or just something ‘more important’ I doubt I’ll ever know!
I do like DGO’s suggestion that I get it for Gray’s birthday, though. The only problem with that is that hopefully we’ll be in Florida at the time… Cool getting married! Very Happy
Now, if he’s having a wedding as his present…
I think, homphomp, we’ll just have to take Cathy’s’ suggestion tomorrow evening:

Thank you all so very much for your high quality advice Very Happy

Especially homphomp & Sarah L who's skills at perseverance, bribery, corruption and pure: “here – have another bottle of wine” worked a treat! (How are your hangovers Ladies?!!)

So....

YES

We are now looking for a good deal for the 3rd / 4th April - hopefully back to Soldeu!!!

WAHOO!!!

Well done Michelle! Men are like hotair balloons...you have to light a roaring fire under their bums when you want something done!

I got given a wheel barrow for my birthday one year! Mind you I got a new windsurfer the year before last and new skis last year so he is not so bad!

Michelle, well done: I'm sure Mr B has enjoyed all the extra attention (maybe that was his plan all along.... men a lot more clever that many ladies allow). And stick with him; he's way more romantic than me: gave my (ex)wife a CD-writer for Xmas (as I said in the card: maybe not what she always wanted, but definitely what she needed!).
