    None of them would be my choice. As I would rather have the money to spend on a treat for myself. Some nice perfume, or face cream etc.

    Items like that come from household money. Like when I bought a slow cooker the other week. Half of it was paid for in nectar vouchers the other half all £6.49 was paid from the household account.

    I now realise how hard done my mother was growing up as dad always bought her something like a trifle bowl and matching dishes for her birthday from us children :rolleyes:

    As you can guess I never buy her anything like that now a days.

    But you do what you think is best. Mind you I like the idea of argos vouchers.

    I really DO want a BM and am more than happy to have one for my birthday. Being a full time mum to 3 under 4 my real birthday treat will be having a lie in and even a long, hot bath all to myself-lol.

    I am coming around to the idea of vouchers or even money though as that way I can hang on to the new year sales and get one cheaper ;) its only a 6 week wait anyway.

    You make me laugh. And I bet that is very hard work. Not something that I would know. As I am allergic to children. Have know since 15 that I have never wanted them. LOL!!!!!!!!!

    What ever you do get for your birthday enjoy.

  • Try your local freecycle and see if you can get an unwanted yoghurt maker and juicer and breadmaker. What you dont get given you, buy in the sales. And hopefully you can wake up to fresh bread (set on the timer).

    As posted on the "i'm in love with my Panasonic" thread, the Russell Hobbs one in AArgos is down from £100 to £60 and is FAB. You probably won't get it any cheaper. I paid £66 for mine earlier in the year, when it was last in the sale.
