Re: General Chit Chat
You should try being pregnant, I felt a right whale when I was. New clothes are always nice but sizing can be tricky and he doesn't want to put his foot in it, new mums can be a bit hormonal...Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Summat that will make her feel glamourous. They always moan they feel fat and frumpy when preggers, so glam should go down well. Or play it really safe with jewellery.

Re: General Chit Chat
If I might add my ten pennorth General? Go for something personal. If you already have a child, make a card between you for her.
I wrote my Mrs a letter when my son was born, spelling out my feelings for her and our kids. I often caught her reading it for years after...........until the divorce that is
My point is that a letter or a card or a favourite photo of you both in a frame with a note saying that your feelings for her won't change, will last far longer and mean far more to her than a jumper, a pair of bedsocks or a trinket. It'll make her cry and it's the only time that you can make a woman cry and feel happy yourself.

Re: General Chit Chat
The original gift voucher is no bad idea General, M&S or Boots or somewhere. Women like them because they don't feel guilty spending on themselves that way, least that's what the wife says. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: General Chit Chat
I like Bob's idea too. He could do that as well as a little something.

Re: General Chit Chat
I'm sure she'd really treasure it General, and it shouldn't cost you more than ten bob. Result!

Don't believe his sentimental angle, General - Bob only suggested it because it was something that he could rustle up for under a Quid.General Mannerheim wrote:i cant buy her a gift voucher, she has access to all my money anyway - she just buys what she wants...! i do really like the card idea tho, its something the 4yr old and i can knock up together - shell be made up with that!

so it doesn't look good...

No, I kinda suspected that outcome if the 50 foot was accurate.thebish wrote:thebish wrote:just seen a dog fall what must have been 50ft off a cliff onto a path... I was a couple of hundred yards away - heard the thud... (at first I thought someone had wanged a bin-liner over the edge...)

Re: General Chit Chat
On the list of things that I've ran over are two dogs, both of which got up and ran off. Someone once told me that they run off to go and die somewhere. I really hope that that's not true. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

i suspect it's true if you actually ran over them - as in car wheels rolling over their bodies... if they were glancing blows - every chance they survived...Bruce Rioja wrote:On the list of things that I've ran over are two dogs, both of which got up and ran off.

Re: General Chit Chat
The first one went under the wheels, the second one, a beautiful long-haired German Shepherd took the full front-on impact. Its owner called it across the road as I was approaching, the dick.thebish wrote:i suspect it's true if you actually ran over them - as in car wheels rolling over their bodies... if they were glancing blows - every chance they survived...Bruce Rioja wrote:On the list of things that I've ran over are two dogs, both of which got up and ran off.

That's cos I've banned over 300,000 far eastern ip addresses to try and stop them. I'm worried that I've inadvertently banned Seanworth too though cos he's not been online for ages either.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:We don't seem to have had any kitchens for a while. Gone bankrupt do you think?

Re: General Chit Chat
Insanio is on and off most days. Not sure why he's not posting though.
Presumably jimmy jimmy is gimped up, crammed in a box somewhere in someone's cellar.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Anyone know if Insano's ok- I'm sure he said he hadn't been too well?
