What a woman

RANGERS fan Ian McLean has vowed to do housework for a year - after his wife spent her £600 savings on a UEFA Cup final ticket for him.

Dad-of-four Ian feared he would miss out on the glamour game after watching prices for tickets rocket.

But he was stunned when missus Bev handed him a Congratulations card - with his ticket for Wednesday's clash with Zenit St Petersburg inside.

Yesterday, he said: "I really, really hate ironing but I'll be glad to do it all for a year, just to have one special night watching Rangers. I've just finished putting on another load of washing and then it's time for a spot of cleaning up.

"Bev is one in a million and I owe her big time. I can't believe I'm going to the game." "You had to peel me off the ceiling when I realised what she had done.

"Bev has to be the best wife in the world - and I've vowed to let her put the feet up and relax as a way of repaying what she has done."

Bev, 33, had been saving the money for a garden makeover.

She said: "If we have to sit in the dirt for a bit longer then who cares? We are all allowed a special treat now and again.

"The look on Ian's face was priceless. I knew how much going to this game meant to him so I couldn't see him disappointed.

"It could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

not only by the look on his face but also by the way he is giving her a year free of housework etc I suspect that maybe he will already be thinking of ways to do the same for her, awwwww

stupid guy..

 

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

We can all learn a thing or two here....sometimes splurging just a little bit to see the other person's face light up is priceless!

 

Good for her.

 

Stay safe all.

 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
