    Don't be shay @WonkyWomble - give them a list!

    I have learned to give both Possum and OH a list of things I'd like for birthday and Xmas - they are close together - and they are finally reconciled to my wanting plants or gardening goodies, just as I accept that he wants golf stuff for his birthday and Xmas - even closer than mine.

    Some good people are shit at buying presents and some people are just shits.
    They are not the same animal. Empathise with the former and delete the latter.

    Lol your all making me laugh and smile now,  thank you! 
    Yes... jam
    With papa womble is quantity not quality. 

    Remember the Riverdance tickets he got me that he told me i loved... no Dad,  that's You!!

     His response,  well can't you go and pretend to enjoy it.  No Dad is my 30th birthday,  in the middle of a suspicious beast lump scare and I'm bug@#ed if I'm going to watch Riverdance and PRETEND to enjoy it! YOU watch Riverdance,  I'm going to see PRINCE! 
    he didn't talk to me for a whole weekend but we both enjoyed our concerts in the end lol 😆

    Now I'm having flashbacks of my 17 and a half stone bearded brother gleefully Riverdancing around the house when he found out what the surprise was that Dad had got me for my big birthday.....damn I've seen some things 😱

    Prince was amazing @Dovefromabove and yes as he had capped the cost at £31 I went 2 times,  so glad I did! Dad assured me Riverdance was amazing but it's just knitting with your legs to me! 🤪

    Thanks @WonkyWomble you’ve made me think, which is always a good thing.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I'm beginning to get bored with my Christmas tree and the cards cluttering up the mantelpiece. I normally manage to get as far as new year's day . The attic is calling to me.

    I know what you mean @B3 it's gone a bit flat.... lost it's fizz of excitement after reality sets in lol
     @punkdoc I can't imagine you would ever be a thoughtless gift giver and I sure hope your not contemplating the Prince/Riverdance issue! 🤔
