doesn't drink much my !!!!!!.. she's a student it's all they do. You could get her a job so she stops spending my taxes..

Miss-Jones - how much are you looking to spend ?

Hey Miss Jones, if you want a really cheap but special pressie you could make your sister a photo collage, with funny/embarrasing pics from when you were little upto her 21st. You can buy clip frames from most photo/poster shops for a few quid and she can hang it up at uni to remind her of home!

....CD burn't with her favorite tracks and jewel case cover with some embarrasing photo(s)!

Oh I have missed your replies ... lol lol ....

Hope ya feel better soon;)

I think the photo idea ... from birth to 21st is a fantastic idea. Everyone in the family can pick their fav picture of her to add to the collection .... making it super dooper personal:D or you can get her some bling bling that she can cherish forever too ....

all depends on how much you want to spend ... and what kind of things she likes!

Oh and .... if ya have some old home movies (and the time!) how about doing an editing job of it and doing the "best of" kinda of thing

Or, you can make a photo album with pix of her and all the special people in her life and they can write a personal message to her ..... kinda like the thing you do at the end of high-school/college/uni etc!

Oh .... Or you can do a video message from all! So, she can have ya all close by while she is away from home.

Ahem ... I'll stop now:o

i cant quite work out if theres a hint of envy in that line or not! at the end of the day students are learning so they can get a job, would you rather all students started claiming benefits because they cant get jobs and that way your taxes would go towards people sitting at home doing nothing? i doubt it.

gah

no envy at all.. i enjoy washing and eating Heinz beans on Warburtons bread instead of Netto 3p beans and My Mums bread

My fiance and I both have 21st birthdays comming up.
I wanted to make his really special and was thinking of arranging a hot air balloon flight or something similar and he has told me he was considering booking a holiday to venice for mine.
Whilst this all sounds pretty perfect, we can't really afford it

, the money would be better spent elsewhere. We are about to move down to London together and that will cost a fortune.
So now I need some really good but really cheap suggestions on what I could do for his birthday.
Any ideas?
