I think at that age it's all about cold hard cash to use towards a flat deposit, travelling or buying a car. Or for a more sentimental option maybe an engraved piece of jewellery with the date/her initials on it (e.g. a watch)?


Honestly can't remember what my parents got me for my 21st - think it was cash as I was a penniless student. But I do remember they had organised a big meal for me back home with all my relatives and my then-boyfriend (now husband) which I really appreciated.

On the day, after family pressies and a 'special' birthday breakfast I had organised for her to have her colours done, then we had a lovely trip up to Oxford street to choose a Mulberry handbag as an investment piece. Lunch at a place of her choosing, then in the evening a family meal at the OXO tower restaurant (cost an arm and a leg!). She celebrated separately with her friends, and seemed very happy with both the day and her lovely bag.

    • Well, the tenant might care if there's a possibility of getting a refund of around £36,000 in rent. And the letting agent might care if they have to shell out that amount.
    • But maybe you can get an ambulance if you've been injured in the attack? 
    • Another TSG van on blues and twos just shot down Underhill, passing my house at 15:30 hrs. Which suggests this residential street is now an accepted emergency route to the South Circular. Which it never used to be. And which I'm guessing reflects a change in road usage which is likely to have been influenced by other recent road changes locally. But I'm sure life is much quieter now in other roads, so lucky them. But their quietness shouldn't be seen, in my view, as being a universal benefit to the area. 
    • As it's Halloween tonight, are we out witch hunting and burning ? 🤣
