FB - glad to see you've got him working, keep up the training eventually you'll have him all educated in how to make a woman REALLY happy! Hanging up the washing is the way to do it!
Going to nip to Homebase this evening (I wish the local garden centres did a late night opening one day a week so I could go then! Weekends are just too busy I tend to avoid them) to have another hunt for a friends birthday gift. She's decided she wants something for the garden as hers is still so over grown. I haven't the heart to tell her that all the plants I have given her so far died because she forgot to water them / protect them from slugs, the lawn mower I gave them needs much more exercise, and that the weeds she complains about only keep coming back because she doesn't pull them up.
I'm thinking some gardening gloves might be a good hint?
Oh well. At least I get to see what is worth raiding the bargain bin for again!
FIDGET! You said "he's even hung..." well I couldn't read anymore, needed to join panda and Chrissie for a lie down. Oh my days! Anyone got some smelling salts? Maybe from the salt mines?
OOh I like the kneeling mat idea. I could go crazy with the sharpie pens to customise it as I did my partners mothers yoga mats we brought her for Christmas to make it a little extra special (read: play silly buggers with daft quotes).
I don't think they have any interest in composting (at least they've a green bin the council take away), they were interested in water butts to harvest water but that was more to wash HIS kayaking etc kit off and thus not suitable her for as a birthday gift.
Its their wedding in a few months so I don't want to go too crazy as I don't think the budget will stretch too far although at least I know what they're getting as part of the wedding gift - I just need to make them!

Mrs. G I can assure you you wouldn't want to smell what's at this salt mine!!

He's even hung out a line of washing. Then I showed him how to hang it properly.
I think I'll have the boat on the left.

Clari you could throw in a kneeling mat and a few bin bags. Doesn't sound as though she's into composting yet.
