I’ve seen these on the telly, where filthy rich people have a personal shopper who goes out and does the shopping for them. I mean, that’s a status symbol if any, to have your personal shopper in the household, isn’t it? That’s a sign of you living like a Monte Carlo or a Beverly Hills kind of life.
So, do you reckon when living together with someone, you could ask them to pop out and get some more beer, and pull that thing? Tell them: - Honey, look at it us having a personal shopper, doesn’t that make you feel wealthy.
Yeah, yeah, you’re as predictable some of you as an itch on your face after you’ve held your head inside an astronaut’s helmet filled with a thousand mosquitoes, like I don’t know you’ll be saying, in a Marge Simpson kind of voice: - Why don’t you go buy things for her!?
In which case you’re missing the point entirely, it’s not about I shopping for her, it’s about finding an easy way to get her to buy beer for me when needed, without any hassle. So work with me at least once, for Christ sake!
I'm thinking that women have always been the "personal shoppers." Why, yesterday, I personally shopped for groceries for an entire household and today I'm "personally shopping" for a good rate on a haircut for my son. Personal Shoppers of the world: UNITE!

But did you buy beer!? We don't care whether there'll be lettuce in the fridge, or our sons look like hippies. We want beer!

I don't really like beer, however there is usually some sort of alcohol stocked in the liquor cabinet - and lettuce is what you use to feed the cute little fuzzy bunnies in the zoo - but I can "personally" shop for beer!

amahlala: Work it up to two hours and a foot massage and you might get yourself a personal shopper!
Two hours is no problem. It's very rare I watch the telly between 4-6AM.
As for foot massage, I've figured this out a long time ago. (this is for all the men)
Take a pillow case. To be on the safe side, go steal one from the neighbour when they’re hanging out laundry. You would want to ruin one of her favourite ones and get slapped all over the house.
Then, get a blow dryer, one of those small ones that you can get from the “Everything for £1” store. Make sure it’s possible to set the level of heat to a very low, preferably to luke-warm
Get a dozen ping-pong balls, a bag with those cotton balls that women use for god knows what, throw in a small empty aluminium beer can and two hard boiled egg dipped in glue or epoxy then dried so as to not have them crack open out of the shell.
First, in the lower corner of the pillow case, you cut open a hole large enough to fit around the end of the blow dryer. Insert the “mouth” into the hole, attach the cloth to the side of the mouth of the blow dryer (I don’t care how you do it! Staple it, hammer and nails, glue it, use your damn skills)
Then you fill the pillow case with all the material I listed in the ping-pong paragraph.
Then insert her feet into the pillow case, tie it with rope around her feet, insert the chord to the wall, turn it on, and she’ll have the foot massage of her life, without you even having to be near the buzzing noise.

You should see what I invented for backrubs. It involves a kitten with bars of soap tied to its feet and the head and tail tied to rubberbands, each end attached to the back of her head and the other to her knickers

And you just keep on giving gifts of thoughtfulness! I am so impressed!
