Simple Step by Step Instructions:-

Step 1 - Firstly get your OH to take you to a p2p meeting on a windy and very bitterly cold day, this is important so check the weather before you set off, if its raining even better but check the meet is going ahead.

Step 2 - aka ‘Forward Planning’ making sure there will be some stalls there, preferably clothing ones.

Step 3 – Go ‘un prepared’ …accidently on purposely underdressed for the wintery weather conditions, yes stick ya Hunters/Dubarrys on and a few pair of warm socks and your tweed/barber but go easy on those layers, remember you need to feel the cold.

Step 4 – Shiver violently while holding something very hot…coffee/mug or soup will do.

Step 5 – Winge but only occasionally, just enough times for the OH to feel sorry for you and offer those ‘warming hugs’ but remember to stress that unfortunately there not working.

Step 5 – ''oooow they look nice and warm'' or similar comments while passing the clothing stalls.

Step 6 - Proceed to dance around in a rather embarrassing manor (because your trying to keep warm remember) star jumps, jogging on spot…big fish little fish, any super start move will do, what ever it takes to look stupid oh and kept warm.

Step 7 – Wait for it….wait…wait a bit more (by this time frost bite may of kicked in so be warned) but if your OH is a true gentleman he will of at some point be offering to buy you a jacket/gillet...a nice item of clothing you have been longing for and eyeing up previously, before hyperthermia sets in.

Step 8 – ‘’Oh no no, I’m ok, noooo you save your money/ don’t be wasting it on buying me a jacket/I’ll be ok (still proceed to shiver/jump and up down/warm your hands/turn blue…what ever it takes) then when he offers again, snap his hand off! ‘’OK if you don’t mind’’ by then its too late, he can’t withdraw the offer, before he’s even had time to check his wallet you’ve already tried a few sizes on, checked yourself out in the mirror, messed up a few rails and handed it to the assistant to run through the till while you wait patiently for him to pay for it with a big cheesy grin on your face while frantically battering your eyelashes.

Step 9 - Be grateful, a simple thank you will do, you can even stretch to a compliment ''you’re the best'' yada yada…kiss kiss or (as last resort) a sexual promise, usually ‘the look’ will suffice and keep him quiet until the end of the day, hopefully if you tire him out in all the fresh air, walking about, the long drive back it won’t lead to the latter.

A lesson from the master.....

I do hang around twiddling the material and casually checking stuff out...whilst OH looks for what he came for.....I find if I hang around by said rail long enough OH will come over and offer to buy it....a feeble ''Oh no babes, I don't actually neeeeed it...'' followed by quickly before he moves away by......'although it is half price.......'' usually works....

...although I have to make 'promises' also

There was a Joules stall there, it wasnt my fault, I never knew it was going to be there, honest....it just happened.






....a nice thick warm waistcoat
 
Yep - I've done the "totally under dressed for the occasion" trick several times - or conversely in the summer the "overdressed and about to swoon from heat stroke" trick.
I find simpering and making "promises" work nicely......... then make a loud noise behind his horse, cause hubby to fall off and badda bing badda boom - "promise" is now null and void as hubby is in traction/pain/plaster. Voila!

God I'd die of hypothermia if I relied on DH to buy me warm clothes.........

He's so skint he's taken to wandering round the house going "on no look I've got another hole in my socks" whilst wearing a frayed t-shirt and ripped jeans hoping *someone* will take pity on him..........

My tactic is to have no pockets- so OH has to carry purse/keys etc.......you could have employed this tactic to get the bag. Make a mental note to take a huuuuge shocking pink purse out with you....OH will surely buy you a bag rather than have to carry your purse about??

hmmm I can see your point and where your coming from but I'm not sure if it would work because recently he has just bought himself a new mobile phone


its purple and lets say its errr rather girly, put it this way it came with a little purple pocket thing with a diamond stuck on it, he wondered why the O2 sales guy looked at him funny when he asked ''is it for you'' and he replied yes.

So maybe he wouldnt mind holding a pink purse...who knows
