| 43175 | 2002-04-10 23:32:00 | The Mothers' Day adverts have started; check out Noel Leeming's latest mailbox flyer. Are they really thick, or what? First page has got 'Special gifts for a special Mum this Mother's Day... see pages 6 and 7'. I looked at page 6 and 7. Duh! Toasters, food processors, frypans, cell phones and, horror of horrors, vacuum cleaners! Not a computer component in sight. Stupid fools. My hubby knows full well it's instant divorce if he ever gave a household appliance to me for my birthday, Xmas or Mothers' Day. The wise man bought me a CD-RW writer for my birthday last year. Year before that I got Paint Shop Pro. Year before that I got a scanner. Year before that I got the current PC. He's my best friend :-) I wonder if Noel Leeming and other shops realise the sales opportunities they are missing out on? |

| 43179 | 2002-04-11 04:22:00 | Is it a USB toaster? Always wanted one of those... now I can sit at my computer and have breakfast ready for me without visiting the kitchen. If only everyday things revolved around my computer. Well at least I can still cook eggs off my microproccessor. |

| 43180 | 2002-04-11 09:12:00 | Mmmm - I agree! My husband has got the message about practical household items as presents - scanner, a new whiz-bang mouse - not lady shavers(!) or cake mixers. But, he is my husband, I'm not his mother. Only my sons give me Mother's Day presents. | Guest (0) | ||
| 43181 | 2002-04-11 11:24:00 | My partner is pretty on to it - he bought me motocross gloves the first Christmas we were together and jewellery for a few birthdays (this year it was a Galileo's thermometer - way cool!), but he surpassed himself last Christmas - new motorcycle boots! Gaerne ones too - very stylish! I'm hoping for a new BMW this year! But having said that, he could get away with kitchen gadgets (not toasters or frying pans - very utilitarian!) as he knows I love cooking - he had to wander around Millys in Ponsonby with me for hours! (He's got the cats well trained too - they buy books and chocolates!) | Guest (0) | ||
