Cheating Hubby gifts jewels to wife!


A cheating husband showered his wife with expensive jewellery every time he repeated infidelity, leading her to gather a collection worth almost 300,000 pounds.

Businessman Robert Charlton, from Leicester, UK, made up for breaking his wedding vows by gifting diamond jewels to wife Elizabeth, who was apparently aware of his extra-marital activities.

The unusual arrangement was said to have worked for the couple until Charlton passed away aged 63 in 1979.

Elizabeth, who allegedly told friends the gifts made it easier for her to forgive her husband, died in 2006, leaving her collection to their only child Marie, who put it to auction and raised 286,000 pounds.

“It is a beautiful collection of fine diamond jewellery. There were 43 items in total,” the Daily Express quoted Clare Durham, of auctioneers Woolley and Wallis of Salisbury, Wiltshire, as saying.

Clare added: “His daughter was aware of what was going on and the family have told us the story – it was no secret.”

Top Five gifts for Father`s Day


If you`re thinking of marking Father`s Day with the Mother Nature touch, then here`s a list of gifts that can prove useful for you.
Environmental News Network has put together five green-friendly gift ideas to help you show care towards your dad and nature.

1.) While wallets runs a popular choice for the occasion, Green Guru Gear has come up with ones made from reused materials.

2.) And for beer loving dads, Seven Bridges Cooperative has an organic at-home beer making kit along with several discount and membership schemes.

3.) Golf-crazy fathers can try Earth Golf Balls, organic caps and tees with a green twist.

4.) For those who love being updated with the latest gadgets and gizmos, Solio Charger, a solar-powered device that charges electronics, may score some points.

5.) Biker dads can also try Optibike, hand made in the USA electric bicycles, especially the USV, Ultra Smart Vehicle model, which could be dubbed as the ideal E-bike for commuting or for trail riding since it allows the user to pedal over 28 miles on one battery charge and ride at speeds over 20 mph.
