One of most appreciated things I got for husband was a really nice map of London for wall with cycling routes all marked on. It was from notonthehighstreet. They do all different colours/sizes and framed or unframed. Went down really well and is always a talking point when people come over. Good luck!

I read the end-of-year music round ups and take a punt on a CD (which I'm pleased to say I get right more often than not), same with DVDs, I read SFX and get something interesting that we've missed, or an old Dr Who which has been re-released.


Or a book. He always wants books.

Pebbles, that's a clever idea. Mr Smiler recently agreed to have two gigantic, ugly green old chairs from his father, installed when I was away (we don't have the space and anyway the are horrible), father in law said "glad you could have them, couldn't have sold them, they're a fire hazard!" grrr. I guess could re-upholster them with football shirts, but doubt being emblazened with "rooney" could improve these chairs!
Husband usually gets a really nice bottle from the Whisky Exchange that will see him through the year when he fancies drinking something a bit special. It is becoming an annual thing so the surprise isn't there but he gets really excited about seeing which one I've chosen as they have some really quirky finds. Doesn't help that his birthday is a week before Xmas so get really stuck for presents!

Some time would be a wicked present (probably for either partner). A promise of some time to do what I wanted without inturruption, and a promise that I wouldn't then suffer for it after!!!

How do you retweet on the forum?!


THIS. A thousand times this. The Lions tour DVD is very good I've heard (in case 'er indoors is watching).

    • Or is it just grilled bread 
    • https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/news-plus/southwarks-cabinet-member-for-housing-resigns-after-not-having-the-same-licence-as-rachel-reeves/ You couldn't make it up. No wait, this is Southwark Council, let your imagination run wild. While he's done the right thing and resigned, cut and pasting Reeves' blame of the letting agent does not seem appropriate here and undermines his apology. I mean housing in Southwark was his day job, he really ought to have known about the licensing scheme. And he hadn't just moved out of what was his home a few months ago to take on a new very high pressured job like Reeves, these were his rental properties.
    • I see the usual flutters (Dan hodges, Andrew Neil.  That lot) are calling this a stick up that needs its own enquiry. “Things were moving fast, we had to wait for advice, Johnson acted nobly”)   which ignores:  - other countries suffered first, warned and we laughed at them “the Italians have nothing to teach us” wrote hodges - other countries were equally bamboozled by events but took the potential far more seriously and took appropriate action  - after lockdown Johnson continued to behave as if it was no thing  - “let the bodies pile high” People can excuse Johnson if they want - but they too will be judged accordingly 
    • Oh wow. I went back to bed after England's fifth over. Only woke up in time for last wicket: bad time to choose sleep! Very slow outfield. Pitch obviously suits bowlers.
