For once I have earned some brownie points, got her a Kindle Fire HD and a Pentax x5 camera. Got her new rear bumper for her C3 a few years ago for her birthday, that went down like a pork chop at a synagogue

I was thinking you should get them something that you were going to get them anyway, ie shopping vouchers or something. She always pinches money for shopping trips so a voucher would have been a perfect solution for me!

I made the mistake of getting her the 'fifty shades...' trilogy... didn't go down to well.


I'd have been over the moon to receive a load of p0rn!!!

I'm sure once she has experienced the pleasure of screwing with a quality tool she will understand your joy

I'll get my coat
