Getting out the Dog House

Funny thing is, when we asked our girl friends how they got out the dog house with their menfolk, the answers were all pretty similar, and they all have that one sussed. But, as we know, women are a funny lot, and somewhat more complex. So, if you are here and you're already in bother, or at least you will be when she finds out, then you need to work out where you are on the misdemeanour scale, and then see how our suggestions go for you.

Forgotten to pick up milk/dry cleaning/dinner?      

Thankfully, fairly minor offences so a good apology, plus going back for the offending items, and then maybe something fun or even nice, just to say really sorry.

Getting out of the doghouse - an Unazukin doll, someone else to disagree with you

Have not one but two women in the house who might agree that you can be a bit useless at times (extra marks for self deprecation, see). The Unazukin doll will nod or shake her head in truthful answer to any question. Although we don't know if she knows the right answer yet to "does my bum look big in this?" She'll learn!

Getting out of the doghouse - sugar overload with A Quarter Of

Now you might think of offering up a quarter pound box of chocolates, but that's probably going to get you more trouble. Try someting from A Quarter Of, for all her favourite nostalgic sweets. One rummage through a collection like this is bound to bring a smile to her face.  

 

Put a red sock in with the white washing or boil washed her hand wash by mistake?     

 

Difficult one, given that you were obviously trying to be helpful, but you're still going to have to make amends. Now you can either just replace what's gone pink/shrunk beyond all belief, or you could upgrade it to a much more luxurious version of the original. If it already was a luxury item, then you'll have to upgrade the apology, and we suggest you go straight to good jewellery. Diamonds preferably.

Getting out of the Doghouse - Sumptuous cashmere sweaters to replace something you've shrunk in the wash!

Shrunk her favourite jumper to baby Barbie size? Check out Pure and replace it with a cashmere equivalent. They have got a wide variety of styles and colours so it should look the same, but it's going to feel so good! 

Getting out of the doghouse - replacement for any undies you've dyed pink! 

If you've dyed all her undies pink, then treat her to something pretty to replace them. We would still leave the basic stuff for her to rebuy, as she will know exactly what she wants, and splash your pennies on something like this from Knickerbox. 

 

Been out on too many boys nights out in row?      

Best to repay this one with some girly time to herself, or doing something really nice for her, like making dinner or breakfast in bed. Or you could organise dinner for her and her girlfriends. Which will not only get you brownie points with your beloved, but one up on all the other guys in your circle of friends. Or maybe that might be former friends!

 Getting out of the doghouse - book her into the spa for the day

First things first, send her off for a day of pure indulgence, with nothing to do but relax. This top to toe pamper day is for her and a friend, which will make this even better for her, someone to gossip with and enjoy the treatments and relaxation. 

Getting out of the doghouse - Get the dinner in, delivered by Banquet in a Box 

So, whilst she is out getting all relaxed, you can create the perfect dinner. Or take delivery of a perfect dinner from Banquet in a Box, follow the instuctions, and enjoy the results. They'll provide the food, you provide some effort and probably you should get in the chilled champagne and the flowers.

 

 

Forgotten her birthday/your wedding anniversary/birth of your first child?     

Okay, you're in fairly serious trouble now. These are really bad offences, and you know it. Bet you've been getting the silent treatment, or possible the very loud shouting, throwing of china treatment. So first, you are going to have to apologise. A lot. And very sincerely. And then not only turn out an amazing birthday/anniversary/well done on getting through labour present but also a big sorry present too. Don't wince, but it's probably going to be expensive.

Getting out of the doghouse - the get of the doghouse quick card, diamonds

We think diamonds (told you not to wince) are the ultimate get out of the doghouse quick card. And right now, there is nowhere we would rather get them from than Astley Clarke. Trust us, everything about this purchase will be right, they leave no detail unthought of from choosing the right design jewellery through to the stunning gift box it arrives in. Not cheap, but then you are in big trouble remember! 

Getting out of the doghouse - ethically sourced gold earrings 

These beautiful gold earrings should tick all the right boxes if your beloved is into doing the right thing (even if you haven't been). Made from ethically sourced gold, with stunning design and lovely packaging from sustainable resources. Perfect.

 

You slept with her sister/mother/best friend 

   

Oh dear, you probably don't need us to tell you that you are beyond our help. You could try all of the above, but we think it's probably a little late for this. Try these instead.

Getting out of the doghouse - you blew it. Try the DIY option from Tesco

You'll be amazed what you can get at Tescos, next to the meals for one.

Getting out of the doghouse - How To Get Your Lover Back. Or have a good try

You could try reading this,and putting everything into action that it suggests. But it doesn't come with any guarantees.
