For sale: nagging wife, very high maintenance
LONDON (AFP) - - A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers.

"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.
Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke.
"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.
"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"
The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing."
But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

How to Select a present for a 1-Year-Old kid
When buying for a kid,most people would always think of buying toys for them.It OK but it may not be the best present that they will get.Kids have short focus span and quite choosy so they will not always like the toys you buy for them.If you insist to in buying toys look for age-appropriate toys . It should be something that can learn something when they play such as shape sorters
Does that baby boy like to bop to the beat? Get your new, favorite CD. Opt for classical music; researchers say it will enhance a baby's math skills down the line
Other than toys,you buy clothes for them.Kids grow fast so shop big - at least 18-month sizes.
Buy a baby book or two - simple touch-and-feel books are most likely to be winners at this age.
There are many shopping website and store that cater to baby so enjoy it while you browse
You can also ask the parents what they need or want for this baby if you want clear guidance.
I also advise that you buy for them something that can benefit the child in a short ot long term.
If it is your own kids ,you can buy them a bond or mutual fund for the baby's educational fund.
